I don't think that season 3 lives up to the promise of season 1 and 2, but others have addressed that. All I'll say about season 3 is that the show isn't treating Tara very well. It's not the role she plays so much as the way directors are portraying her. For one thing, her appearance. She is perpetually greasy -- her face is extremely oily all the time. Is that supposed to portray a southern black? If so, it's stereogyping and it is ugly. And the show has her lip wobbling and chin bobbling at an all-time high; for heaven's sake, let the woman show unhappiness via a broader range of expression. She's a good actress and deserves better.
