From the beginning, we were watching the series and just waiting for any evidence or proof of who is behind everything happening in the village! As time passed and into the second season, there were subtle hints, but! Until the evidence appeared in the third season when Henry, Victor's father, came to the village, it was written on the ambulance bed (🏥 Mabuse), and it was shocking! But personally, I kept quiet and said, "Let me just go with it and confirm more?"

Dr. Mabuse from the book by Norbert Jacques in 1921

He is a master of camouflage and hypnotic communication! He is known for his use of body transfer, most often through demonic possession, but sometimes he uses techniques involving objects like televisions or phonographs to build a "crime syndicate"!

Is he the man in the yellow jacket (God knows) because it hasn't been clarified yet?!! But focus with me closely because what you are going to read will clarify many dangerous things about the series.

The first conclusive evidence... Dr. Mabuse is the only one who can turn on a TV, radio, or any electronic device without electricity!! 😳 In the history of all terrifying characters... That's why the music plays by itself in the restaurant, and the radio and electricity in the city from and without any electricity at all...

He loves playing card games like bridge and also tarot cards related to witchcraft. That's why Tilly died when the crows came in, when she tried to help Fatima using tarot cards to reveal the future... When Fatima killed her, the message was basically that whatever we do to people will come back to us, right? And remember that Tilly said she saw this village and predicted it earlier through tarot cards!

Dr. Mabuse likes to play with people like cards or as a puppeteer! And because Dr. Mabuse is also known as the puppet master; the question here is whether the puppet that Christopher was affected by has a deeper meaning that we still don't understand, or if Victor's memory is confused, which is why Jade sees the vision of Christopher's puppet screaming as a sign of something?

Didn't you notice something in the series? The places are filled with playing cards in the restaurant and even in the lighthouse. In this part, tarot cards appear officially through Tilly, but it wasn't until the last episode, when Randall tried to electrocute himself and the device had "Mabuse" written on it again, that the evidence came. Do you think these clues are coincidental? The producers are intentionally doing this.

Juli and Randall's eyes were white after being hypnotized. Dr. Mabuse can do this to his victims when using hypnosis and similar methods, as seen in his appearances in old cinema works.

By the way, Dr. Mabuse has a woman who has a connection to spiders. I don't have many details about her but that's why, in one of the episodes, we saw a large spider web nest, and Boyd was bitten by the spiders. Before this incident, Sarah told Boyd that she heard a woman's voice for the first time, and it was different from the one she had heard before! (A strong hint about the woman who has a connection with spiders and Dr. Mabuse)

Dr. Mabuse is even hinted at in the pictures. In one of the pictures that Tabitha saw in Henry's house, it resembles a special poster of Dr. Mabuse exactly.

It seems that we are facing a fantastic work from the producers about a charming, manipulative, deceitful, criminal, and merciless sorcerer.

Struggles with narrative coherence, leaning too heavily on last-minute twists that feel inconsistent with previous episodes. Victor's long-awaited lore dump, while intriguing, seems like a forced exposition drop rather than organic storytelling. The sudden focus shift to the Boy in White as a pivotal figure leaves Jasper's arc unresolved, adding complexity without real payoff. Additionally, Elgin's cryptic role and his unsettling influence over Fatima do little to clarify the overarching mystery, creating confusion rather than suspense. The time-travel twist with Julie, while bold, risks alienating viewers by introducing more questions without real answers.

With just two episodes left in Season 3, I'm not sure how they're going to pull off a satisfying conclusion. Episode 8 was packed with twists that felt more confusing than exciting, and I'm left with more questions than answers. The shift to focusing on the Boy in White over Jasper, and the confusing time-travel elements with Julie, seem like last-minute decisions that don't fit well with the established story.

It's obvious they're setting up for a fourth season, but this one feels like the weakest yet. I'm hoping the final episodes redeem it, but right now, I'm skeptical.
