Tried the 'three episode rule' for Dark on Netflix and nearly quit before it clicked

I forced myself through those first three episodes last weekend and by episode five I was hooked so hard I finished all 3 seasons in 4 days, but man that slow start almost made me miss out has anyone else found a show that takes way too long to get good?

Nah, I was exactly the same way but I thought the slow burn shows were just pretentious BS for a long time. Like I quit Breaking Bad twice before giving it a real shot and now it's one of my favorites. Dark needed those first few episodes to set up all the time travel rules and characters or the whole thing falls apart. Once they stop hiding what's actually going on around episode 4, it's like a completely different show. I'm glad I pushed through but I still think they could have trimmed some of that early setup.

Tbh I was the same but once you get past episode 4 it all clicks.
