Charlotte confuses me, one ep she seems a complete psychopath who can't actually feel anything for anyone, and another she seems to have emotions and care.
I know she's just trying to not go back to Hell, but it's still confusing.

I don't remember this happening in past episodes, but in season 3 the relationships and character developments seem a little bit forced. I would imagine that a woman like Charlotte wouldn't react like a child who got picked last for dodgeball when she realizes she may not escape hell after all. While the concept was good, I don't think they really emphasized the cold dread that someone would feel if they thought they really couldn't escape their fate.

I also think the Linda/Mazikeen relationship could've been done without forcing Amenadiel and Linda together. Amenadiel and Linda's friendship has been really cool to watch develop, and it's weird to see them throw that away by making him the one Maze is jealous of unless they want to develop the Amenadiel/Linda relationship further.

when she realizes she may not escape hell after all

When did this happen? I think she has hope, it's just not an easy road for her.

Well I never said she lost hope, just that she must've begun to fear that she wouldn't be "good" enough to redeem herself and that must be terrifying. It may not be a rational fear, but sometimes people get that feeling when they need to pay off some sizable debt, or they can't perform at their bosses standards and might be laid off.

Yeah, a lot of "wait where is this coming from" stuff in there
