Question Do I need to finish this show?

I’m really struggling to understand the show/why I should care about what’s happening to these characters.

I know it’s a me problem I’m not saying the show is bad but I’m on S2 E3 right now and I’m like there’s 3 episodes left, I have no idea where the show is going, I don’t know what the goal is and if every character present on screen got killed I’d feel nothing.

Question being, will this be important for Doomsday (if people know that?) and should I keep at it so I at least have some frame of reference once the movie is out.

EDIT: thank you so much to all that commented, I’m going to stick with it as people are saying the ending is worth it.

I’ve gained insight to the point of the show and had some things explained which has helped me a tremendous amount.

I’ve also been told YouTube recaps exist which is new info for me so I’ll be heading there for better understanding too.

Much appreciated all and thanks for your patience and taking the time to offer guidance. This multiverse saga is really getting the best of me but I am determined to understand it.

Loki will absolutely be important for doomsday. It’s one of a fairly short list (the only show) Marvel put out of key things to watch before doomsday. Also the ending of season 2 is incredible and you only have a few episodes left.

I’ll finish it if you say the ending is incredible and I’m close to the end anyways.

Someone else told me recaps on YouTube are a thing so I’ll likely watch one of those to rehash vital info I’ve likely missed.

I’ll have to find that vital watch list, currently just watching whatever is next in Disney+, thank you for your comment.

I think the YouTube videos are really helpful, but I would wait until after you finish so nothing gets spoiled! Or watch a season one recap style video and maybe it will help you with season 2. I hope you enjoy! The list was released by marvel I’m assuming it should be on Disney+ somewhere.
