This is one hard to say. Dark is one of my favorite shows, but I do think the journey is better, the journey is kind of the process for the acceptance of the finale, so it does make sense.

There is a mix of both throughout the show, especially in the Irene Adler The Woman episode. You already know she is behind a few criminal things from the start. There is also another case within that same episode where someone died next to a river, and one of the draws of the case is that Sherlock figured it out instantly, but doesn’t want to tell anyone what the answer is. It is slowly revealed in bits over the episode of what he figured out.

I may give Columbo a shot since it’s an older show I have put off trying. And Monk has also been sitting on my list.

All three great answers. I thoroughly enjoyed them. I’ve been trying to get my wife to watch Se7en or Usual Suspects for years.

I definitely think this movie popularized the “but it needs a twist at the end” trend.

Yes! I think this qualifies.

I loved Memento, very good example.

The closest I’ve watched in the last decade to something like this may be BBC’s Sherlock. Does that fall in the same category?

Good question. Not sure why my brain went there. Generally speaking, growing up when someone used the term “in a row” they usually did mean consecutively. I can’t think of a time someone said 3 days in a row and they were not back to back days. Reading it now it does sound repetitive for me to have phrased it that way. Maybe my brain wanted to be specific for non English speakers? It was late at night.

You got me there!

It’s honestly my favorite of the bunch. The Pitch Black /Riddick monster plot style dying one by one has never appealed to me in any genere. I loved the mystic sci-fi space world building that was going in Chronicles. Does it do it better than a movie like Dune? No, but this also came out a very long time ago.

I’m a bit torn. While I think the overall first movie is better, as an adult… I very much connected to the inside story of the second one much more, as did most people I know that watched it.

No different than people being into star trek, star wars, a song of fire and ice, DC or Marvel lore. People like stories they can converse over. Timelines are yet another piece to talk about.
