Control Z Season 3 is arguably the most thrilling season of the series and it is fabricated with several intriguing plot twists and shocking revelations. The writers of Season 3 have done a brilliant job in presenting the story in an arresting way, which is bound to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The events in the season are layered in a way that creates a tense and highly suspicious atmosphere from the very beginning till the very end of Season 3. Similarly, the character arcs, too, are layered which gives them more dimension and depth.

The new season picks up right where the second season left the audience — the shocking fall of Susana from the rooftop. In Control Z Season 3, the characters are seen trying their best to forget this traumatizing experience. However, they ultimately fail as the accident still haunts them in the form of @allyoursecrets.

As the synopsis said, @allyoursecrets is someone who will be seen blackmailing the teens throughout the season.

Another highlight of Season 3's storyline is the case of the missing body. Susana's dead body surprisingly vanishes from the accident spot, rattling the group even more and making them frantic. However, viewers later found out that Javi's father had moved the body from the spot after Javi went to him in a frantic and confused state.

Yet, the problem doesn't end there.

The real danger of Control Z Season 3 is the blackmailer who is seen going to unthinkable lengths to make the group's life absolutely miserable. In the latter part of the season, viewers found out that the blackmailer was Bruno, who went to prison after he took the blame for Raúl in exchange of money and safety.

However, when Raúl failed to keep up with his side of the bargain, Bruno faced a number of difficulties in prison. The latter's difficulties continued even when he got out of prison and thus, decided to make Raúl's life a living hell. Bruno got the golden opportunity to do exactly that when he hacked Raúl's phone and got all the information about Susana’s unfortunate death.

However, once Sofía began investigating the case, Bruno’s identity as @allyoursecrets was revealed to her.

In the end, Bruno was seen getting what he deserved for his sinister actions. Meanwhile, the teen group were seen confessing all the truths about the night on the rooftop.

Directors of Control Z Season 3 have to be praised for depicting complex and thrilling scenes in a well-rounded manner. They also deserve praise for keeping the well-built tension between the characters throughout the season. The way in which they captured and presented several intense scenes, including the scene when Sofía confronts Bruno, is absolutely noteworthy.

It is safe to say that the audience can expect an exhilarating and quite arresting rollercoaster ride from Control Z Season 3.
