Mobius: A Waiting Line Disguised as a Thriller
Mobius has a huge problem: its time loops kill the tension. The show makes it clear that everything only gets solved on the 5th loop. So what about the other four? Just rehearsals. Pure filler.
Even the main character admits there’s no fear of dying. And if the hero himself doesn’t care, why should the audience? When he dies in the 2nd loop, it doesn’t matter, because you know he’ll be back anyway.
On top of that, the plot is overcrowded with suspects, but that’s not real intrigue — it’s just confusion disguised as mystery. What could have been suspenseful ends up feeling like waiting in line.
Mobius turns what should be tension into simple waiting, and that kills its own suspense. Because if everything is decided on the 5th loop, it’s nothing more than an hourglass that only cares about the last grain. Not a thriller, but a waiting line disguised as mystery
