Dark Explained with Photos: Symbols, Characters and Locations 

I made a new video for season 3 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUB8vDgVP_8.html

"And then we have Elisabeth, she's a minor character". If theres one thing i learned from Dark, its there is nothing "minor" or irrelevant in this show.

fork // ulrich went left = 1953, jonas went right = 1986

The light bubble has a futuristic design, it was given from old Jonas to young Jonas that means old Jonas traveled back in time from 2052 to 2019

Thanks for the family tree pics, Dark best show ever, waiting for season 2 is such torture. (Helg-e)

why that police officer got an eye patched???

The "Fork" you mentioned is actually just a "Y" like the Flux Capacitor, oddly enough. The center of the fork is the disturbance/ connection in time and where it all converges. Where that one crawlspace/pathway, the one that the door with the trinity symbol leads to, converges to allow the time travel to happen in the first place. That shaft they crawl down, in reality, is just a dead end or goes deep into the ground but no one sees that because they are getting connected to the same path they are on, just at a different time, 30 years apart. It's just that it happens to dead end by connecting to itself in different 30 year apart deviations. To better visualize how this is working, just imagine you put a pencil down on the ground and held up two mirrors touching one another, connected them, and then moved them till they both showed the pencilddddd. That's what the shape/concept is. So, with all that said in a needlessly confusing way, let me explain how the fork works. You said we see people only go right but we see Mikkel's Dad the cop, Ulrich I think is his name, go to the left from 2017 and end up in 1953. Let's say you're in 2017 and you enter the door, you're going to go left and find 1953 and right is 1986. If you're in 1986 and you go left it's 2019 and right is 1953. If you're in 53 you're going left into 1986 and right into 2017. I'm pretty sure that's the correct direction everyone travels. I think from 2019 you go right into 1986, since that's the direction Jonah goes when he finds Mikkel/his Dad (Spoilers to those who haven't seen it. Shit, I put that in the wrong place, didn't I?) Then, as I say, Ulrich goes left and finds 1953 where he attacks what's-his-name and fucks up his ear. If you draw a "Y" on a piece of paper and label it 2017 at the bottom 86 at the top right and 53 at the top left, it makes it easier to visualize.

Ulrich and Jonas took different directions to different time zone...

Awesome videos, thanks! On a side note, I strongly recommend you watch them again in german, the original voices are great, and that should help you with how to pronounce the names :D

Great straightforward explanation. I got the info I needed, and didn't have to put up with a presenter's ego trying to make the presentation cute, wild, loud, or whatever! Some issues with pronunciations, but does not take away from the explanations. Kudos, Jayson!

dude you need to do a review of season 2! I feel like it actually left me with more questions than answers, if that's possible lol

4:15 Ulrich did go left

one thing that intrigued me the most is that Erick's dad is somehow "helping" aleksander to covering something up. In the first or second episode we see Aleksander talking with Erick's dad at the office who tells him something like "it's risky to do it now" bc the of the recent disappearance of his son but aleksander insists, later we see him at the caves/forest. Also Aleksander also goes to the forest, where we see he is watching how a truck is carrying something but we don't get the chance to see what. Oh, and one more thing, if you watch the last episode and then the first episode, they're connected. The last being the 1st and the 1st being the "last". When Hannah goes to aleksander to blackmail him she says "i want you to *ruin* ulrich's life" and in the 1st episode when ulrich goes to the plant to ask for aleksander's permission to enter and he denies it, ulrich yells: "are you trying to *ruin me*?". I don't know i just thought it was interesting that from all the thing he could've said he chose those words, which in my head the answer to that question was 'yes', knowing that hannah actually told aleksander to do that, he's actually trying to ruin ulrich life by making everything more complicated. Also, helge's son, wtf.

Btw, this is not just a mountain it is a 17th-century depiction of the "Emerald Tablet". However, in the tv show they add the trinity knot at the bottom. The tablet is explaining few Hermetic laws, but mainly "As above, so below", which I think is important information because the priest is playing the role of "fixer" by making sure that everything will repeat in a correct way so it could keep everything in a loop. Personally, I am still trying to figure out why he wants to keep that loop, but I think maybe they'll answer it in the next season.

2:58 Not true, because Ulrich comes to the door when looking for Mikkel (the scene where Mikkel can hear Ulrich calling his name) and he went in through the cave entrance.

I have lost all of my brain cells watching this. Season 2 is even more confusing, I didn’t even know that was possible

i think most people dont notice that it is a 3 way depending in what time you are at , you can go left , right and straight if you turn around , if you come from 1986 you can go 2019 and 1953 , if you come from 1953 you can go 1986 and 2019 , i dont if I'm explaining my self

An interesting side note was that Ines mentioned she had lost a child. This was before Mikes showed up. Don’t know if it’s relevant or not??

I just started binging DARK, what an amazing series! And this was very helpful and insightful, so many characters and spider webs this made it clearer. It's a must see

Did anyone notice that the dialogues and subtitles are in two different formats in the entire series ?

Who is regina's father? I just realized it that if Claudia married to someone regina should not use the last name Tiedemann (sorry if i get the spell wrong)

You explained the whole dark really good video but very under rated

Thanks alot... You helped to solve the puzzle.

Thank you for all of this. So I ever watch this I wont get completely confused

Lol I’m even more confused 🤷🏾‍♀️ 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣

I don't know why you said Elizabeth is minor character. I liked the pictures and locations. ;)

Ulrich went left I'm sure... you confused me when you said they both went right...

I can't stand how people pronounce the names totally wrong in English.

Dankeschoen :-)

In season 1 we have the trinity. Did you see season 2 where Jonas moves through a pentacle, 1920/1921 - 1953/1954 - 1986 - 2019/2020 and 2052/2053? I'm curious about your analysis?

Thx..this has become my new favorite go-to daily reference vid to keep in check wats going on just over halfway point in the season. Which are the other in depth videos like this one u speak of? Thx.

HEL-guh and ULL-rik

Role of woller

But how does the cave work as a time machine?? Is it it's location?

This video isn't explained anything, it is just plot summarized.

4:15 ulrich went left and opened to 1953 janos went right and opened to 1986.

Ulright goes left not right

Im just benge watching this show, I am on s2,eps 2, and the story line has become so confusing and cliche, like Under The Dome, Lost, and a half dozen others shows dealing with time travel, religious nuts, good and evil, and horror, via, high school kids, secret red doors, or in the case of this show, a rusted door and a red house! etc. The Dark, is introducing too many personas and overdone scenarios that we have seen in too many shows and movies. And, the time jumps! Oh my God, the time jumps! They show me someone in the cliche, 1986, Marty McFly, Back to The Future years! Then, they show that same person meeting their mother or father circa 1950's, then a jump to the future! I am surprised they haven't shown each person as an embryo! LOL. Hey, I'm trying to hang in there with this show, but I know good, clever writing, and when they go into cloned, cliche ideas and story lines that we have seen far too many times, they are taking the easy way out and I loose interest and respect.

Anyone still confused I found reading The Dark Wikipedia episode guide to be quite helpful.

The dog didn't go through the door he went from the 1953 fork down the other fork to 1986

Bartosz is pronounced “Bartosh”. I think the name is of Hungarian origin. Franziska is pronounced “Frunciskuh”

I thought Ulrich went left at the fork. That's why he ended up in 1953 not 1986. But i like your video. 👍

0:36 That’s not a “mountain,” it’s the Emerald Tablet. Google it.

I wonder family tree becomes of hannah when she settles in the past changing her name to neilson

Why does Mikeal die

U the man 👊

Ulrich goes to the left.

Mikkel was not kidnapped he found his own way through to 1986, it was only the 3 dead boys who'd been in the "chair" (Erik, Mads and Jansen?) that were kidnapped

Whats quasi homosexul/gay?

Prue, piper and polenta

Martha.. why did you say that name?

Thku

hel-GE - say it right!!! think of how you pronounce the woman's name helgA - same thing - it's NOT like english where you ignore pronouncing letters!!

Did you watch the show? You didn't pronounce a single name correctly and they say the names repeatedly through the show. Come on.
