My coworker made me see 'Dark' in a completely different light

I was talking to this guy in shipping, Dave, and he said he watched the German show 'Dark' three times. I thought that was crazy because I barely got through one season, it felt so confusing with all the time jumps and similar looking characters. But Dave explained how he treated it like a puzzle instead of a regular drama, and he even made a little chart on his phone to track the family trees. That hit different because I always just watch shows to relax and turn my brain off, but 'Dark' wants you to pay attention to every detail. So I gave it another shot last weekend, started from episode one with a notebook, and man it clicked way better. I actually finished all three seasons in like 5 days and now I kinda want to watch it again. Has anyone else had a show that needed a second try or a different mindset to really get into it?

Three times though? I barely had the patience to follow the first season, even with a chart. I get that a show wants you to think, but at some point it's just homework.

Used to agree with you @max388 but rewatching it changed my whole view.
