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
It all came together in the end. I remember getting to S3E4 and my brain was fried so I just let it wash over me. Then E7 and E8 explained everything and were perhaps the best 2 hours of TV I've ever watched. A re-watch of the entire show made everything so much better too!
If you have to explain that much about your story, it just means that you weren't able to show your story (or universe). So it's either not a good story or you're not a good writer. After all, we call them "TV shows", not "TV explains". And it had strong "it was just a dream/wasn't real" vibes.
I would have to disagree. It wasn't an explanation of the plot, it was philosophical discussion on the concept of free will. Everything was shown but one had to really observe: not a show to watch whilst looking at one's phone!
Edit: I know I used the word 'explain' in my previous post; 'clarify' would have been a better word. Let's be honest: I'm a massive fanboy of the show and have watched it 8 or more times. I just think it's the best thing I've ever seen.
season 3 looked like they didn't know what to do next to put a new level of weird
Really? It was convoluted but it was all clearly planned from the beginning for there to be 3 seasons. It all went full circle in the end and all plot points got explained.
You don't have to like it of course, but I disagree that they didn't know what to do next.
I didnt end up liking the ending episode. Otherwise the show is a 10/10 banger.

I thought it went against the theme of the show which is don't fuck with time. But instead the ending rewarded the guy for fucking with time by saving his son.Essentially the show ends with a "well if his son dies then he will cause a contradiction in time so his son must live" which essentially rewards the guy for fucking with time. At least that is my interpretation of the ending.
I thought it was just a time travel mystery, focused on how you won’t remember the original timeline since it didn’t happen.
