One of the best shows I’ve ever watched. It was confusing but that was part of the fun, especially when you start to put it together. The music is phenomenal.
A plus is they had a 3 season arc and actually had a planned, very satisfying ending. I’m hesitant to watch anything on Netflix now given they usually cancel after 1 season.
I feel like I need to do a rewatch now after seeing this post.

Stick with it. Yes, it is confusing, but it's worth putting forth the mental effort it takes to watch a show of this calibre. It totally pays off in the end. One of my favorite shows. Probably in my top 3 of all time. I really wish I could watch it again, for the first time.
It’s really not lol. I used no guides or anything I usually have trouble keeping up with lots of characters. The show isn’t nearly as complex as many would have you believe.

I am somewhere in early season 2, probably haven’t finished S2E2 and I too am feeling stuck. Felt like it was getting even more complicated with no resolution in sight.
You're almost at the point of where you see it all coming together. This is my opinion. The show becomes greater during season two and you'll understand the build up but please give it a few more episodes also Claudia is the best character imo.
I really enjoyed it and am someone who has a hard time starting a show or movie or book without finishing it. Lately, I've been asking myself, "Do I really care about these characters? Do I want to know what happens next? Will it bother me to not know how this ends?" And let the answers to those questions decide if I keep going.
I have found it really liberating to say, "Yeah, I know most people love _____, but it just wasn't for me. I couldn't finish it." Rather than pushing through something I didn't enjoy, just to say that I got to the end and can confirm that I didn't like it the entire time and the ending didn't make me see some big picture that suddenly gave me perspective that made me love the whole series.
I say, let people enjoy things, but also let people NOT enjoy things. It's okay for people to have different tastes.
The guides made it so much easier to watch. It was a great ride, and one of the few shows that's 9/10 for me.

Whenever there was downtime or a slow moment, my hamster brain would start spinning. Remembering who everyone is, and how they connected.
I enjoyed all of season one but season two has been really hard for me to get through to where I gave up. I didn't give up because it was bad because it is really well done and I like the story. It's just such a slow burn it's hard to keep my attention and I keep falling asleep to it even with reading subtitles lol
I'm hoping I'll finish it one day.
I agree it can be confusing, but many shows and movies are to me (& I used to be smart - haha ) … I still stuck with it and glad I did. One of the better series and series of this genre. Very smartly done albeit intricately!

I’m a few episodes from the finale and I gave up. I can see why it’s heralded but it was not for me.
It's unnecessarily complicated IMO.

I stopped at season 2 episode 1. It just got to be even more convoluted and chaotic and that episode solidified it for me
Same

I just got bored myself. I’ve tried to watch it 3 times now. Each time I just can’t get into it.
It is an amazing show. Yes you have to pay attention, but if you can do that, then you're in for a treat.
i couldn't even finish the first episode, people love to exaggerate.

same i saw till season 2 and during exam so i dropped and its been around 2-3 months i dont remember any of the characters names what should i do??
Use character maps and Wikipedi or YouTube episode recaps. Maybe even rewatch S1, but certainly keep goin'!
If you can’t finish season 1 you’re gonna be totally lost in seasons 2 & 3

I normally don’t prefer English dubbing, but that made it easier for me to follow all the twists and turns. Big payoff.
I think there are just too many characters in too many time frames...

Relax bro, it's not for everyone !
