Netflix's Dark (Spoilers)

[Phaedra]

Has anyone watched Dark on Netflix? Oh holy cow...it's A LOT to process. It's definitely a show that needs multiple re-watches. There is so much that is GOOD about the show, from the concept, to the writing, acting, set and costume design...it's all intentional and well thought out. I'd love to hear ya'lls thoughts on the show.

Is it possible you could post a spoiler-free description of what the shows about?

Oh sure! It's three seasons of twisty-turvy time-travel that will boggle the mind. It's very well thought out, and sticks to the rules of time travel it lays out. It follows several different families in a little town in Germany, and how they are connected. The show is in German, and is dubbed. It doesn't take but an episode or two to forget it's dubbed. It's not for kids, due to some mature content. It's a great mystery, and does a good job of answering questions and posing more questions as it moves along.

Sorry didn't think of that, is sick so Brain is a bit clogged and dense

Ah, ok thanks!  This is going to be kinda difficult because I don't want to give too much away, as the show is full of interesting revelations. But here goes!

 

This show is about cycles of time, so as a WoT fan you'll appreciate that. There are four families whose lives are connected through these cycles, which happen every 33 years. The time travel aspect involves a wormhole, and the mystery begins with the disappearance of a teenager. The series covers times beginning in the late 1800s through 2053, which certain characters traverse between in order to solve the bigger mysteries of the town and their families. 

 

I don't want to say too much more, because how these families are tied together, as well as how the whole thing started, is interesting and crazy. This is a show that you need to watch without distraction, because if you miss one thing, you'll wind up confused. It's also a show that you'll watch again. I know my second time through, things made more sense, and I was able to appreciate the production side of the show more (writing, acting, settings, costuming, etc). It really is a great piece of work!

I have actually snooped on it, on several occasions, but like title suggest it is kinda dark, and since the last year have been kinda dark I try only watching light things haha.. I watch dark things when it's going good lol

Is it based on true story?

@Lavandula: Nope, not based on a true story. I wouldn't say it's a scary show, and I don't think it's one that will leave you feeling down either. It's a solid good mystery.

Yeah I love mysteries, well only series, I don't like crime or mysteries in book or movie form, no idea why, lol
