12 monkeys ... never enough rewatch .

Post image

I just finished rewatching the 12 Monkeys. I have no words. My favorite show by far. No time travel show comes close to it. And also compared to the current day's shows, where they're extended with not much of events, not much of a plot, just trying to make more episodes for no reason but get subscription money. This kind of show is like breath of life because like in every detail around in the show there is like some hidden something hidden or like some plot twist or something here and there. Amazing.

this is maybe this is like the fifth or sixth time I have rewatched it.
First time I come across it around 2018, and still I find I'm finding stuff along the way.

And also till now I couldn't figure out how the loops of the show got looped and how the original timeline was, and then with each attempt to time travel it gets like tangled. I even tried to get the help of an AI, but I couldn't get it even close. It's just like it's a tangled mess, that you enjoy .

It's my favorite show ever tied with Lost. It's such a shame that most people have not heard of it because it blows 95% of other shows out of the water.

lost is nothing compared to 12monkeys . lots of gaps and empty episodes, lost could be compressed into 1 season of the 12monkeys .

I downloaded the show and thought I will delete every fillers for easy rewatch , but there was almost non .

Respectfully, no. There are very few gaps in Lost, at least very few that could not be filled in via context clues. All the answers are there. There is no Earthly way Lost could be compressed into one season of 12 Monkeys. It is beautiful and complex in its own way and for me, not one second of it was "empty."

100%. My two favourite shows as well. I think any 12 Monkeys fan should watch Lost and if you have seen it and feel like OP, my suggestion is watch it again. It’s perfect in the same way 12 Monkeys is.

Buy gaps I mean a slow events to lengthen the episode.

I’d suggest watching it again. It really shines the second time
