i think a mix of looking at some of these nerdy videos explaining the connections and meanings to everything along with the latest episode helped. it seems the plot is moving forward now too. i think for me the first three episodes could have been combined into one 40 minute one and i would have been in from the jump.

i feel like looking at the videos kind of spoiled some things but still left enough unknown to make me want to see what happens.

supposedly episode 4 is where things start getting explained.
