Appreciation post: That one show nobody talks about but everyone should watch

I keep seeing people recommend the same 5 shows over and over, but nobody ever mentions The Travelers on Netflix. I binged all 3 seasons in a week and the character arcs are so tight. Has anyone else found an underrated show that just sticks with you?

Did we watch the same season 3 train wreck?

Three episodes in, I actually checked the runtime to see if Netflix had trimmed them down, because the pacing was all over the place. The whole subplot with the missing passport just vanished after episode four, no payoff at all. If you're writing your own stuff, keep a note card for every loose thread you introduce, and make sure you tie it off by the end. It's the only way to keep from dropping stuff like the show did.

You said "tight character arcs" but did they actually stick the landing or did it fall apart in season 3?
