Reply to comment by pourthebubbly in Which show did you watch the most of before quitting and why? by spectacleskeptic

Ah yes Dark, loved season 1, season 2 was good but hard to follow and season 3 we watched one or two episodes and gave up. Season 1 though, wow..

Season 1 was absolutely amazing! The writers just fell into that “how can we make it bigger” trap that often kills a story.

I almost quit s3, it was becoming such the slog. Omg, greatest comeback of a show. You HAVE to push through to the end…., it will make so much more sense and in hindsight makes it much more bearable. Giving it a couple years then I get a fantastic rewatch.

Closest I can think of for non spoiler example would be the endings Fight Club or the Sixth Sense before their perspective reveals. Dark being a TV show is narratively drawn out compared to those movies, but has a similar payoff.
