Summary — Episode 3 feels overly dramatic and stretched out, though the ending creates enough curiosity to continue to the next episode.
Episode 3 continued the biggest problem I've had with The Many Lives of Benjamin Kyle: it's far too slow and overly dramatic. The story itself is interesting enough that it doesn't need so much buildup and emotional framing. I kept wishing the series would spend less time trying to create drama and more time presenting the information it already has.
That said, the ending was effective enough to keep me watching. It left me wanting to see how everything concludes in the next episode. If this series had several more episodes left after this one, I would probably stop here, but knowing the story is likely wrapping up soon is enough to keep me invested for one more episode.
Overall, Episode 3 felt stretched out, but the final moments generated just enough curiosity to bring me back.
