What BollyAI Thinks
Series 3 aired April-May 2022 as the main narrative conclusion of The Split, bringing Hannah and Nathan's long-running marital dissolution to a resolution the show had earned through three seasons of patient character work. Abi Morgan's writing had by Series 3 moved past the show's early reputation as glossy BBC drama - the audience consensus of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes overall reflected an investment that deepened with each series. The three-season arc demonstrated something rare: a drama whose understanding of its characters genuinely sharpened over time, allowing Nicola Walker and Stephen Mangan to deliver performances of increasing subtlety. The December 2024 two-part special provided a coda for those who wanted further resolution.

The series finale wrapped three seasons of legal and marital drama with more honesty than resolution. The show understood that separation is rarely clean, and the final episode gave each major character a landing that felt true to who they had become. The Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus for S3 held at 100% on a small but unanimously positive critical sample. A two-part special in December 2024 revisited the characters.
The moment: Hannah's final decision - delivered not as a dramatic announcement but as an ordinary conversation, which made it land harder.
Season Over Season
The strongest entry in dramatic terms - three seasons of careful character investment pay off in the concluding episodes.
