HBO's prestige-y sci-fi drama returns on March 15 with a renewed focus—even though some of the old glitches persist.
If Jeffrey Wright's Bernard Lowe were to sit me down in a dimly lit, subterranean workshop and quiz me about what happened at the end of's second season, I'd mostly draw a blank. I'd be able to recall a few broad strokes: A lot of characters"died" in the season finale's massacre set piece, trying to walk through some kind of techno-celestial door to a robot afterlife.
Oh, right: Aaron Paul co-stars in the new season! Explaining anything about who his character is or how he fits into the story would rob the premiere of some of its power, so I'll just say that he's a welcome presence, even if the cast still feels too sprawling for its own good. Ditto for Vincent Cassel, who also joins the roster.
As unwieldy as all that sounds , Nolan and Joy do a better job of drawing the battle lines this season. It's clearer who characters are aligned with and what they're after in the big picture—that's a vast improvement. But this show can't get out of its own way completely.
