I’m interested in this - though I am curious why film 3/season 2 was the odd one out with being adapted that way? Was that season in particular especially bloated and not adapted as well as the others?
I wouldn’t say that. In fact, I would argue that Season 2 was the best adapted of the three. It’s just that it’s a more condensed and cohesive story compared to Season 1 or Season 3, and the main action takes place in a single location, which basically made it easier to edit into one film, as opposed to the rest of the seasons where the story follows the characters across multiple locations.
