Maybe, in the 2001 movie how they got back to Jarod escape and other pretenders when they previously established that the Jarod was the best of them all and that the children were phased out and Jarod was basically alone and isolated from the world with the exception to Sydney. And then suddenly there were others that Jarod socialized and worked with. That was weird.

And it is not like they didn't hit the reset button on every season premiere despite all the revelations only to put the players on the same positions all over again.

Also, no ending is also an ending. The only one we got. Nothing was resolved. All the characters stayed in their eternal limbo of doing the same thing over and over again. That can be like a time loop.

Jarod will eternally escape the Centre, Miss P will chase him (never leaving the place she hates), Sydney and Broots the same. There was not even a hint of a hope that these people can escape these destructive cycles and be remotely happy or away from that misery. Ant that can be ok, just look at how bleak was the OG Nikita.
