Are there any shows / films / other fiction about time travel that actually make sense?
Whenever I come across time travel, it's either doing mental gymnastics with itself to explain how everything works (e.g. Doctor Who and "the rules"), or it just doesn't bother and nothing has any consequence (e.g. Crash Bandicoot 3).

I ask this because I do generally enjoy time travel as a concept, but sometimes it's just... not well-used. Like in Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

(Side note, it always slightly disappointed me that A Hat in Time involves 0 time travel)

@lunarloony I can think of only one film that pulls it off in a convincing manner and yet is absolutely mysterious about the mechanism. it was a little indie film called Primer by shane carruth

@lunarloony Hang on, I’ll just go back in time and check.
