Reasons ot Watch Wanted Season 3

The 3rd season of the Netflix series Wanted doesn't quite measure up to the first two, but if you can accept it as just a police chase with strong comic elements it's worth watching. As in the first 2 seasons, the entire series is built on the relationship between two women - polar opposites - forced to be on the run after they get entangled ina  robbery gone wrong: Lola (Rebecca Gibney) and Chelsea (Geraldine Hakewill). Lola's the hardened woman who takes no shit and is from a tough background, a family saga on crime and abuse; Chelsea's the poor little rich girl, seemingly incompetent but one who rises to the occasion and the one who changes the most over the course of the series. The problem with the series, though, is that most of the interesting material developed in Season 1; once the 2 women have developed a friendship and a partnership in crime, there's little more development in their characters or their relationships - despite efforts in season 3 to push further into Lola's back story and her strained relationship w/ her abusive mother. So season 3 depends for its momentum on Lola and Chelsea on the run, prison escapees; they go through so many close calls and the police are so monumentally incompetent that it's more of a comedy than a tension-filled drama. My God, their names and faces are all over the news and they drive around in such conspicuous vehicles with many stops for food and lodging - and nobody recognizes them? But who cares, it's all kind of fun and not meant to be too deep, despite a nod in the plot to the plight of some women imprisoned in the sex trade, whom Lola and Chelsea, at risk to themselves, drop everything to help. All told it's well-scripted w/ 2 excellent actors in the leads, playing likable and to a degree credible characters. Where it goes in the inevitable Season 4 is hard to say - but I fear it's a car running out of gas.
