I really enjoyed this series so much, until the 3rd season. I found the series to have incredible acting, wonderful old costumes, and top-notch writing. However, during the 3rd season the character of Elena Greco felt much less like a protagonist. It became hard to watch her make awful decisions, and she became extremely unlikable to me. She seems like a bitter and selfish person so I quit watching after that. 🤷🏻‍♀️...
