Okay, I need to warn people about trying to watch 'Dark' while doing anything else

I decided to watch it last weekend, thinking I could fold laundry and keep up. Big mistake. The show jumps between three different years, 1953, 1986, and 2019, and everyone is related in a crazy way. I looked away for one minute to match some socks, and when I looked back I had no clue who was who or what year it was. I had to rewind like four times just in the first episode. I learned that some shows are not background noise at all. You have to give them your full brain or you're totally lost. Has anyone else found a show that you absolutely cannot multitask with?

Wow, I used to think I could watch anything while cleaning, but Dark proved me wrong.

Wait, you tried to clean while watching Dark? That show needs your full brain just to follow the family tree. I'm shocked you even got the dusting done, diana_kim66. I had to pause every five minutes just to figure out who was who. Doing chores would be impossible. You'd look up and miss a whole time loop clue.

Totally get it, @diana_kim66. That show is a full time job. I tried to check my phone during an episode and missed a whole key scene about the cave. Came back and it was a completely different character from a different decade. You blink and the plot moves three steps ahead without you.
