They actually had to course correct hard after the second season. The plucky diverse "resistance" I was a bunch of shitty people, whereas the NatSocs were more reasonable and attempting to rule well and root out corruption. John Smith was balancing his family with his duty. In short it was making the "bad guys" look reasonable. So then of course the writing took a nose dive.
Agreed, although I think the "nose dive" (pun intended) was because the writers were, after Seasons 1 and 2, absolutely _shocked_ that the feedback on S1 and S2 was very positive towards the NatSocs. So in Season 3 they turned up the anti-NatSoc rhetoric to level 6 Gorillion, in hopes of changing minds.
