Not paid but where I live you get compensation for your travel time/distance (depends a bit on mode of transport, public transport vs car vs bike). I don’t think anyone gets paid for their travel time, unless it’s specifically travel for work rather than to work.

I really liked season 1. Season 2 as well I think (it’s been a while), but season 3 was just too confusing and I really didn’t care for it

Don’t know where you live but in many (maybe even most) places on earth this is completely untrue. So many people across all kinds of different countries spend lots of time socialising outside. I literally just returned from having dinner and sat outside, total cost with drinks was €13.50 for two people. Simple, no nonsense place with plastic table and chairs, affordable also for working class people.
