nowhere near as sexy or edgy as episodes 1-16.

This is really noticable. I loved the decadent edge to the first series. Where has that gone? It's like they decided to tone it down to network TV levels. They've managed to have an occult sex orgy and a staged gang bang, but kept everyone completely clothed. I'm through 8 episodes and the story seems padded. I'd forgive superfluous stories like Ilse's eye and the courtship between the reporter and his landlady if the series were as fun as the first one, but it just isn't.

I plan to buy S1/2 on blu-ray, but don't think I'll buy this S3.
