Continuing directly from the last, season three is 15 more episodes of quality television. Nancy's world continues to spin out of control as everything that can go wrong basically does. Her business expands, which also increases the amount of trouble she can get into. She also gets a real job as secretary to a manipulative businessman who goes around building up religious suburbs, whose current project is Majestic, the town quickly enveloping the main setting of Agrestic. He's not really a likable character, but he helps provide lots of intriguing plot turns. The secondary characters are pretty good this season, including more of the awesome U-Turn, thug drug dealer extraordinaire, and one of the Olsen twins playing a hyper-Christian pot user.
There's been some changes in her two kids. Silas seems like less of a complete tool, although that might be because he's getting more of what he wants. Shane is visibly older than he was when the show started, and has now become obsessed with facts, something that hasn't seemed too interesting yet. He kind of gets the short end of the stick the whole season, and a development near the end of the season shows how he might be regressing. The finale's another good one, not as dramatic as the first two, but enough to make me wonder not just what happens next but where it's going to happen. It's a pretty cynical show, but quite enjoyable nonetheless.
