I find the third campaign to be a better version of the first, in a way. C2 didn't have as much of the fun chaos of the C1, but it also didn't have the growing pains, and long boring stretches that c1 had. C3 has the fun chaos, while also being more polished and streamlined.

C1 still has some of the best moments, but that is balanced out with a lot of slow, boring, and annoying moments.

C2 was pretty terrible IMO. Too much angst and self hate. For pseudo bad guys they were really just mopey.

C1 would be hard to beat. Heck Sam's apology to Liam in the finale was a small thing that nobody noticed and it had me in tears. C1 got vastly better after Orion was kicked out.

They all felt like recovering addicts in C2, in a way. They didn't like who they had been and were redeeming themselves, which made Cad a great addition as basically the therapist. Unfortunately, that came at the price of the fun Molly was bringing to the group. I thought it was a good story, but it was a more serious story.

C1 had some great highlights, with sam's apology, and everything surrounding it being some of the best anything I have watched, but boy did it have a lot of growing pains to slog through to get there. Shopping episodes, learning to play for the audience, he-who-shall-not-be-named.
