Invincible‘s third season has landed strong reviews, scoring a perfect 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The animated superhero show, which airs on Prime Video, follows teenager Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) as he discovers his superhuman abilities, all whilst confronting the possibility that his heroic father, Nolan/Omni-Man (JK Simmons), may not be as virtuous as he thought.
Following two successful seasons, fans have been eagerly anticipating the third instalment before its premiere on Thursday (February 6), and it seems they will get a critically acclaimed season if the first batch of reviews are anything to go by.
The third season has accrued a perfect 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from its first 12 reviews, matching the score of the second season whilst improving on the 98% that was achieved by the debut instalment.
You can read a selection of reviews below:
“While this season might not feature as many bombastic set pieces as in previous seasons, it trades those moments out for deeper character development.”
“Season 3 could have easily just felt like filler in the lead-up to the looming war against the Viltrumites, yet it never does; instead, it remains one of the greatest superhero sagas ever to hit the small screen.”
“Invincible season 3 is bigger, better, faster, stronger… The show’s renewed focus on its main story means that when Invincible does take narrative detours, they feel more impactful.”
“After two stellar seasons, Invincible season 3 increases the moral and emotional complexity, enhancing Mark’s story and the viewer experience.”
“Not only does it actively critique the gods who run amok, seemingly without consequence, but it plays into struggles that have existed for a century in comic book storytelling.”
Invincible season 3 premieres on Prime Video on February 6.
