Spoiler Alert! Haven’t finished Season 3 yet? Stop here and come back when you’re caught up!
Season 3 ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, leaving the Pogues’ fates hanging in the balance. After a daring heist and a narrow escape from the clutches of Carlos Singh, a ruthless don determined to claim the Royal Merchant’s treasure for himself, John B., Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and JJ find themselves stranded on a deserted island they christen “Poguelandia.”
Exhausted, injured, and running low on supplies, the Pogues must now figure out how to survive on their own. But even in paradise, their troubles aren’t over. The unexpected reappearance of John B.’s presumed-dead father, Big John Routledge, throws their plans into disarray. Big John’s motives and loyalties are unclear, leaving John B. to grapple with a complex web of emotions – relief at finding his father alive mixed with suspicion and a yearning for answers.
Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Pogues struggle to come to terms with their precarious situation. Sarah grapples with the guilt of her actions and the uncertainty of her future with John B. Kiara worries about her friends and the future of their makeshift island home. Pope, ever the pragmatist, focuses on finding a way to get them off the island, while JJ, his usual carefree spirit dampened, confronts the emotional toll of their recent ordeal.
As John B. wrestles with his newfound connection to his father, the Pogues discover a hidden cache of supplies and weapons, hinting at Big John’s past and potentially offering them a glimmer of hope for escape. But with Carlos Singh likely still on their trail and the true intentions of Big John shrouded in mystery, the Pogues’ journey is far from over. Season 4 will undoubtedly see them face new challenges, both internally and externally, as they fight to survive, unravel the secrets of the past, and reclaim their freedom.
