It would pretty much be that this series actually failed the 3 episode test for me. I've attempted to keep watching, just out of respect for the franchise, Mordred, and Semiramis, but let's face it, this series is fucking garbage.

None of the masters are worth caring about, even remotely. Mordred's master is only acceptable because he is just so blasé about it. That's the big fail. I don't really give a shit about any of these characters. Oh no! Cripple sister we're supposed to feel bad for...but don't. Brother, and I don't even remember who he is the master of...wants to help her. Shirou/Gil/Kirei is obviously the master of all the others on the Red (...Black? Do I even give a fuck?) side.

Ruler? Oh high and mighty self-righteous queen....who I also don't care about and think she's kind of a bitch for believing that she's above any of this, like that has ever happened outside of Prisma Ilya where Kiritsugu and Iri murdered every other participant before the Grail War even started, in order to keep their daughter safe, and a lot of deaths happened anyway.

Sakura is more charismatic than Ruler is, and that's saying something.

Super gay, super worthless piece of shit homunculus? Don't care about him either.

NONE of the characters are remotely engaging in any way! What, pray tell, is there to even discuss?

Let me explain how I watch this series. I start up an episode, give up after about 7 minutes. I do anything else I can to entertain myself, because the series is so boring and unengaging. Then I watch another 3 to 5 minutes, and give up again. By that time, something else, better, has come out, and I watch that. I reopen the episode to where I left off, and pause it immediately. I do something else again. This pattern repeats for about three days, when Symphogear and Sakura Quest come out. I watch those, and then finally...finally I finish an episode of Fate/Apocrypha.

edit: Just in case this wasn't clear. NONE of the Masters have any presence at all. They have no personality, no reason to give a single fuck about them, and to be honest, the Servants aren't much better. It is hard to remember their Class in the first place, aside from the obvious Sabers and Archers. The trap Lancer? is the only Servant even worth caring about, because he doesn't give a single fuck...just like me.
