I had high expectations for the series as it had been described as "The Danish Dark" in some reviews and I loved Dark.
It actually started pretty good with an interesting mystery peppered with meaningful flashbacks.
However, it seems like the writers run out of creative steam in episode 3 or 4 and it went fast on a downward slope to the point I seriously considered not watching anymore.
However, my curiosity was more powerful and, at the end, it did not disappoint as much as I thought when the conclusion was reached.
If you say you stopped watching, I can't blame you, but give it a try.
