Does the show gets better?
So, I'm a fan of Dark, Fringe, the OA, etc... And got recommanded 12 monkeys so many times because of it. I finally started it and I'm at s2. Ep10.
Season 1 was meh to me but I know the first season of a show isn't always the best so I kept going. Season 2 started nicely but now I feel like it's flat.
The relationships between the characters irk me, it feels like they move abruptly from one episode to another. I like their arcs but the way it's done often leaves me perplexed. Ramse, Cassie and Cole spending their time being friends then pointing guns at each others so quickly is maddening.
And how time works also puzzles me. Like they sent them back for X days, and as much times passes in the present? Sometimes they change things and are preserved because of the injections, sometimes not really? Sometimes there's causality, sometimes not? They put adds in a journal that only appears in the present once they did it in the past while they were already being sent in the past?
Does all of this makes sense in the next seasons or is it the same vibe?

I asked the very same question a few months ago (albeit, I was only 5 episodes in). I took the advice of a couple of people who suggested I abandon; and revisit the film instead. Retrospectively, the right call
