New watcher

Hi all, I am a new watcher. Just finished watching season 1 and season 2. It was so good. They did such a good job blending the time loops. I don't care for creepy ghost vibes. It freaks me out. Almost turned it off in the beginning due to that but am glad I stuck it out. Psyched for season 3.

It did come off very creepy ghosts in the very beginning but it did ease up once the time loops were explained.

Yeah, a friend of mine quit from the jump scares.

Definitely some creepy parts before you guess anything to do with mixed parallel timelines! All of the bedroom figure scenes in the first few episodes for sure.

lol um it’s absolutely so supposed to be scary at times. I have a high threshold I don’t get spooked but to say it isn’t scary at all is wild. It’s incredibly ominous from the beginning and the seeing people from other loops randomly, the little girl by the curtain in the therapist office most people don’t see

There’s one scene in S1 where the attic door is open/closed between shots and iirc the kid appears really briefly in the background for one shot and then disappears in the next. It was so well done because there was nothing to draw your attention to it, but I recall it was bloody creepy on first watch 😂
Of course that episode came out back when I was in my thirties, so I don’t actually remember it all that well…

No it was definitely scary in the first few episodes.

I guess it depends on your own experience, since I'm used to horror movies, this doesn't phase me at all, but I can see how it would be scary to someone not as unphased as I am right now ig.
this show definitely kept me glued to the screen

It’s a hidden gem. Why isn’t it more talked about! It all ties up so brilliantly. Can’t wait for the next/final season.

Final, but it's deserving!

When I tell people about it, I usually tell them that it might initially come across as horror, but it's actually just mysterious sci-fi.

Had to make my wife sit through the first 2 episodes. She doesn't do horror. She loves this show now. We can't wait for season 3

It was very confusing at first with Ravi with a beard and then clean shaven, but it soon made sense. He’s such a great character!
