I'm not exactly certain what you are saying but I think the implication is that you posit that the quantum uncertainty doesn't have an influence on the macro universe in a direct way. Every experiment with quantum mechanics that proves its existence and defines its properties are an undeniable example of quantum effects directly affecting the macro universe and therefore must be taken into account.
But none of this really matters in a discussion of free will. No action can be taken without that action being directly affected by genetic predispositions and environmental influences. You can not have free control over your genetic predispositions nor do you have free control over your environmental influences therefore no action can ever be made that is a free action.

Your premise relies on the idea that unpredictability in behavior proves free will however the philosophical idea of indeterminism states that the random fluctuations of quantum mechanics can mean no free will while also being unpredictable.

I agree, I liked all 3 as well. I hear Jodie Foster will be in season 4 and I can't wait.
