I want to watch season 2 of Dark but I don't have it in me to rewatch and get my brain organized for season 1.

worth it though.

also there are 10 min season-recaps on youtube, etc.

I am gonna disagree here and say Dark only gets worse over time. To be honest, I have not even finished it, because it became super silly.

Then you missed how the end ties everything perfectly together and makes it one of the most consistent time travel stories ever filmed.

LOL. You must've been watching a different Dark than the one I did.

Time travel is a difficult trope to do well, because there is so much potential for paradoxes and other confusion. I always find myself going "So, if they could travel through time, couldn't they just do X?"

In Dark, it started with a good premise, but the last season was a total wreck. It felt slapped together, like they had to come up with an ending in a hurry.

I believe the writers actually wrote much of the story line for the entire show before filming the first season. As such, it’s probably one the most internally consistent time travel stories. That said, I do think season 3 gets bogged down by all of the exposition needed for the story to actually make any sense.

I believe Netflix actually has a website with the timelines for each character so you don’t get confused. IIIRC you can tell it what episode you’re on so you won’t get any spoilers.

Lmao, that is a fun mind bender.
