Yes, this is a problem. It's okay if the show is relatively simple.

Like The Witcher, it doesn't matter. HOTD is actually quite simple narratively, so it also doesn't matter too much.

Westworld? Dark? This is a problem.

Yeah no I didn’t remember shit from the first season. I had to rewatch the whole thing to remember who anyone but Geralt, Yennifer and Jaskier were.

Yeah but like the plot points are kinda irrelevant lol, if that makes sense. They're just stuff that happens

That describes all shows.

Yes, it's hard to put into words but I never felt with The Witcher that the details especially mattered in terms of understanding what comes next.

Whereas with Westworld, Dark, that is just not the case.

Yeah I could never get back into Dark because of how completely and utterly lost I was when I tried watching S2. I can usually still remember character and basic plot points between seasons pretty well (I was alright between seasons of Westworld actually) but that show was a whole other level of convoluted.

Dark is the most confusing show I ever watched, and also one of my favorites. I loved it. But I did read episode synopses and look at family trees after each episode.

Had to re watch Dark, YouTube summaries were not useful. Big time commitment but worth it
