    I stumbled onto this and binge watched over Snowpacolypse 2018

    Anyone see this?

    If you like Time Travel and Paradoxes, I would highly recommend.

    Has a real Fincher tone. Feels like a horror mystery, but isnt scary just incredibly tense throughout.

    At times its hard to follow because there a million different characters, and you see different versions of the character at different times in their lives, played by different actors.

    Saw it and liked it. Agree that it's at times hard to follow. All those damn Germans look alike!

    It definitely gets better as the picture clarifies.

    Made it through the 3rd episode last night, really glad they did the split screen at the end of the episode to coorelate who's who in different time periods.....

    The whole crew is German except Netflix is distributing it.

    I'd recommend watching it subtitled rather than dubbed.

    Just started episode 5, and debating on stopping & seeking out an explanation site now even at the risk of spoiling the rest of it first, because I think I'm more lost than I should be- shouldn't I understand what exactly the nuke has to do with it after
    they seemingly revealed to us and the plant manager something, I don't understand what was in those barrels? ANd I don't even understand who all is looping

    I mean half way through am I not supposed to understand those points yet?

    Finish it out. If it still doesn't make sense, then read the explanations on the internet.

    ^thanks.

    Yeah turns out I wasn't actually missing anything- the synth bass just makes it seem like what you're seeing is more significant than what it really is. Great show though, beautiful sonically and visually. Loved the twist at the end, would definitely tune in for a s2

    Finished this a few weeks back.

    One of my favorite Netflix shows in a while.

    I like this show but it seemed a little bit fake to be honest.

    I'm a sucker for anything time travel, and started watching this yesterday. It's been good through five episodes.

    I think it comes across a little strange because it's a pure Euro show. They have a different zeitgeist there and it affects all media they put out. I have some German friends so I can put it in perspective. They're a little more literal and much less cynical/snarky than Americans. Plus they are all thin, jog and wear hoodies, which is true in this show.

    The overuse of brown face was off putting.

    Overall, I enjoyed this series, would want to watch it again in Germany dub soon. Love these psychological time-bending topics.
    Not as deep as Interstellar but still nothing short of amazing casting, story plotting and expanding new things each time you watch it.

    Im know I am 7 years late to this show.

    I was joking with the gf that if any show could use diversity, it would be this show. Not so much for PC reasons, but that all the characters look British bland and it can get confusing with the time lines as the characters look too similar.

    Im only 5 episodes in, however I really appreciate how the show doesn't try to big-brain the audience by intentionally convoluting characters and stories. The side by sides of past and present of characters make it much easier to follow.

    It was a good show and it managed to make sense when it ended. Worth finishing.
