The Witcher season 1 also had issues with it being non-linear. And the two main characters never change, age (over decades) or wear different clothes. Also it's all a fantasy setting so you can't be like "oh bellbottoms. This is the 70s"

They introduced a whole bunch of character in episode one. Dramatically killed them all (like who cares, I don't even know who they are). Then threw them back up on the screen several episodes later without telling you it's a flashback. So I'm like "this lady looks familiar, where did I see her before" but in my head the character is dead so I think it must be a different show.

And I know who you're talking about with the reveal and I absolutely needed that hallucination because I'd have had no idea who I was looking at lol
