That's where the show jumped the shark for me.
The 4th season is great though, and I get the show is dark/violent on multiple occasions... But not my Sammy
Tap for spoiler
I just remembered the metalhead kid sacrificing himself at the end of season 4 to distract the monsters for a few seconds. Well at least he pulled a sick guitar soloI dropped it after watching end of S2 wrap and the first ep of S3 sadly. It somehow destroyed the illusion and the LARP was too forced for my tastes.
I might revisit one day, because S1 is great and I'm sure my kids will love it when they... become a tad bit older.
The first half of S3 is the worst part of the whole series IMHO, so it also could be why you gave up
Season 4 is my favorite on par with 1, but it's also different. Episodes are very long (but not boring), and there's more gore/violence so I wouldn't recommand for kids under 12
