Loved the original movie. Tried watching this series a few years ago and it didn't click with me after 4ish episodes. Watching it again now tho and I'm hooked. Are all four seasons good?
I'm a few episodes into season 2 myself, haven't had anything spoiled for me. Seems like they're addressing this tho. That certain things are meta and always were, and that Dr. Jones' assumptions about causality in time travel are wrong. Definitely frustrating that the show doesn't explain its own mechanics but once I accepted that the mystery of the mechanics is part of the plot the show started to click for me a lot more.Binging this now. Somewhere in s2 currently. A couple thoughts.
1. That crazy chick may have the best thighs I've ever seen on TV, holy shit this chick is weird hot.
2.They keep saying Cole would disappear if he undid the plague. Over and over. "Why am I still here?" etc. This is obviously incorrect, since they showed clearly that he was born well before the plague. So why do they keep making this obvious mistake? Does this get clear up somehow or just a plot hole?

I don't see it as related to Jones being wrong about causality.
I see no reason that either Cole or Jones should have ever assumed that preventing the plague would erase Cole. He was born after the plague. They show this in a couple episodes in either S1 or S2.
It seems to me that they originally planned him to be born after the plague but then retconned it to born before the plague, but never bothered to update the whole "I'll get erased" schtick. Hope they fix it but as of right now, looks like a major plot hole.
