The third season of The Librarians aired during the 2016-2107 season and consisted of 10 episodes. The show followed the same format as the first two seasons, having both a serial arc that involved a "big bad" character (which this season was Apep, the Egyptian god of chaos) and story-of-the-week procedural episodes in which the main storyline was resolved by the end of the episode. The show does a good job balancing the ensemble cast, giving each character a lot of good material. One of the best episodes is one that almost exclusively involves Jake and Cassandra who are stuck at a lodge that is hosting what looks to be a corporate retreat (which is also one of the episodes that was directed by Noah Wyle this season). Jane Curtin also returns to reprise her role as Charlene in a great werewolf-themed episode. As usual, Noah Wyle only has a recurring role in the series, but since the other series he was appearing, Falling Skies, ended the previous season, he does appear in more episodes (seven of the ten) and directs two of the episodes this season.
As far as extras go this season, there is a commentary track on each episode, usually including the series creator, the director of the episode, and one or two cast members. And then there is a director's video blog for each episode. So, you actually get quite a bit of bonus content if you like watching/listening to it.
Overall, the series continues to be strong. It has a good blend of action and comedy, with some dramatic moments mixed in. The writing and acting continue to be good, and the actors seem to have very good chemistry with each other. The show also continues to get a good slate of guest stars this season including Sean Astin, Felica Day, Ernie Reyes Jr., and Vanessa Williams. So, if you liked seasons 1 and 2, then you will probably enjoy season 3 as well.
