This season is just much funnier and I think that's what is setting it apart.
S2 had less humorous commentary, and was a little more uneven in tone/direction with the Beard escapades episode, etc. This season it's like they got back to doing what the show is best at and leaned into it.
I don't mind the Rebecca subplot, even though it's a little disconnected. Just because there is some weight to it (e.g. fertility). Dropping the Sam romance retroactively hurts S2 a bit though.
Keeley's business subplot is just alright. You just kind of tolerate it, until they get back to the much more interesting plot around the team and Nate. Keeley was a better character when she was closer/more involved with Richmond. Now her thing is a separate story almost.
