A good philosophical show with a bad pilot

The first three episodes present a disorienting experience for viewers, with a narrative structure that lacks clarity and coherence. The plot jumps haphazardly between different timelines without clear indication, leaving audiences struggling to piece together the sequence of events. Flashbacks blend seamlessly with present-day scenes, further complicating the understanding of the storyline. This lack of a clear timeline detracts from the overall viewing experience, making it challenging for viewers to fully engage with the narrative.
Furthermore, the abundance of characters introduced in the early episodes adds to the confusion. While an extensive cast can enrich the storytelling by providing diverse perspectives, this show struggles to effectively develop each character amidst the chaos of its narrative. As a result, many characters feel underutilized or underdeveloped, diminishing their impact on the overarching plot.
Despite its shortcomings, it" begins to find its footing in the fourth episode, as the narrative begins to coalesce and the timelines become more discernible. The characters, once disparate and disconnected, begin to intertwine in meaningful ways.

So, is a philosophical drama with grand aspirations, marred by its initial confusion and lack of coherence. While the early episodes may leave viewers feeling adrift in a sea of disjointed narratives, the series gradually finds its footing and delivers a more cohesive and engaging experience.
