[SPOILERS S3] does dark get better?
[SPOILERS S1] does dark get better?
Now I will start this off by saying I’m not the most intelligent person in the world, the closest media I’ve watched that I can call as confusing as dark is monogatari, my favorite anime, and to this day I learn differing opinions on themes and such (get the reference). But I have seen people on media tok (basically hell) call dark good and one of the best tv shows and underrated and a better stranger things. So I decided to try it, before that I heard it could be hard and I might need a family tree to look at while watching, so after watching episode one I found one. But while watching episodes one, I had absolutely NO idea what was happening. From what I remember, guy hangs himself in the opening scene and leaves a not for a specific date and time for some reason , kid goes missing next (which I assume is later, how much later I can’t tell but I know for sure it’s later due to the episodes ending), then I see a family with mom, dad, two sons and a daughter, than we get flashes of a red head who is the missing boy and who seems to be getting tested on, than an old guy saying something I don’t remember, and tv flashes, than we see a random kids POV who I thought was one of the brothers but I don’t think so, and we see him go through school, than him and two of the brothers and a girl? Go to the woods to look for the missing boy, than the younger brother gets lost/taken too. And than the parents find a body of another kid. Than we see the last start to open the note meaning this all happens after the suicide. I have a few questions. I know I probably shouldn’t have fallen asleep, but is it supposed to be this obscure or is it because I fell asleep? And should I rewatch the episode or just try to study the episode one family tree and move on because I got all the important points? And does the show get better? Because honestly that was VERY boring and felt like one of those shows that have a good story but fail to make me actually care and just forces it on me while forgetting to make it actually enjoyable. And the pacing feels way to fast, one thing I LOVE about shows is the small slice of life moments that make the characters feel real and not plot devices, but I didn’t feel that from this show. Sorry for the incoherence I tend to write out of order and in a mess, basically I’m asking if the show will be easier to understand and more enjoyable In the future. Also the auto mod is stupid and make me say this was a spoiler for season three
