I agree with your assessment of this film. I felt the humor was unnecessary and that the plot was terribly confusing, particularly for people unfamiliar with the story which i would presume would be most people. Sometimes it isn't even evident that we are now in a different TIME because there are only subtle indicators that this is the case. Maybe this was intentional and it will all come together in season 2... i hope so, because I feel that most people are probably not as interested in this as they might have hoped they would be.... even fans of the games.
Totally ive thought about rewatching it to see if i could better make sense of it the second time around but then i just read the whole thing online to get my head around it!
I know the game works like that but its a medium where you can pull it off, in the show it just got messy really quickly
I agree i hope season 2 they will line up the story a lot better because this show really has potential
