Promotional Video I Appeared in for Netflix: • DARK | Alle Fans sind ... My review for Season 2 of 'Dark' on Netflix. Follow Me on Twitter: / colebrax Check Out My Podcast Wrong Reel: wrongreel.com/ #Dark #Season2 #Netflix
I watched Dark because Netflix recommended it to me, but I think in the future, I become the person who works on the recommendation algorithms at Netflix, thereby recommending the show to my younger self and creating a causal time loop where my intent and desire to watch Dark only happens in the past because I determined the events in the future. Thanks, future self! Really pumped to work at Netflix.
I think the main reason why more people haven't watched the show is very simple...it's German. Now, for those of us who love foreign films, etc., it's no obstacle, but I think a lot of people are put off by anything that is either subtitled or dubbed. They're missing out is all.
Its unforunate that people have to listen to it in english or read the subtitles. The biggest advantage of a German show is that the show is centered in German culture etc. language is actually an important part of it, since characters end up using words in a way that are hard to translate in their full context :/
@@Edin0vic I'm watching season 1 now & find it very easy too watch & follow as it translates very nicely. The story being in Germany is awesome, it also adds to the mysterious nature of the story for me... And the show is just F'n Creepy- mysterious & super Ominous... & its sci fi...🤗
Agreed 1000% Dark TV series is storytelling at its very best hand down. Still don’t understand the comparison between Dark and Stranger Things they are two totally different shows. Although I like Dark a lot better than Stranger Things.
I can't remember the last time I saw a show where so many viewers described it as the best show they have ever seen. Netflix has a genuine classic on their hands.
The best one is Breaking Bad IMHO. The show has great writing. But Yes, Dark is up there and one of the top ones for me. I've watched lots of shows also, and everything became subpar after I watched Breaking Bad.
@@ellaa_nashwara Yes, season 3 is the last one. They mentioned it in an interview that their story is enough to fill 3 seasons and they dont want to stretch it.
I’m having a hard time finding people to watch so we can discuss as well. I still preach praise of the show in hopes that one day they will. It’s such an epic show!!
B Spin I know right ?! All my friends, and my mom included, all watch shows like this, and I’ve enjoyed chatting about these shows with them, but I don’t know anybody who’s watched this show besides myself. I mean I see lots of people on the internet who have watched it, but that’s not what I mean obviously. Same can be said about the OA. The OA was soooo good too. But I at least know a couple people who’ve watched the OA, nobody I know has watched dark despite my efforts to try and get them to watch it, since even the first season came out - to no avail of course 😑 lol I’m surprised I got thumbs up for this comment, cuz I just re-read it and noticed how hard it is to understand (i was half asleep when I wrote it lol)
I watch the subbed version because foreal... this show makes the german language so fucking phenomenal especially people like adam 😂 every time he speaks he gives me goosebumps
Nah even though i dont like yhe sound of german language i really love the show. Dubs are always the wrong way to watch a show. Native language isbthe best, ita the source material the actors pour their soul in
Amazing story that somehow does not seem to be break most time travel paradoxes. It makes Avengers time travel seem like it was written by a 6 year old. A true thinking (wo)man's time travel story!
well they definetely didnt cater it to typical german viewership aswell, this is the best in german television i have ever seen, and with that i mean EVER! German television until DARk and maybe Deutschland 83 was, simply put, awful! If they can create more shows with this dedication and perfect cast and intriguing storylines, things are looking up finally :D
Yup! Watching Dark I get the surface comparison w/ the adolescent characters etc. BUT your right this show has soooooooo much more going on story side, I find myself wanting to draw out a 'character map' to keep track of who's who & when🤗
I mean i wouldnt compare them but they have similarities. They have a young cast (not as young as Stranger Things, still) both take place in a small town, both have a missing character as startup mystery. Both have sci fi tropes. Both are dark in their atmosphere. So your total refusal to see why ppl compare them is very weird to me.
Hopefully the comparison will get more people to watch 'Dark', but I totally agree. 'Dark' is completely different from 'Stranger Things' and vastly superior.
Dark is seriously the best show ever created. Never have I watched a show and been blown away again and again and again; every episode there's a new twist; a new revelation. Going into season 2 I thought there is no way they can maintain the level of epicness that was season 1...but they did. In fact not only did they maintain it but we're now asking more questions and different questions even though we know so much more about the characters. It's a masterpiece and I seriously hope it gets the recognition it deserves.
I think they already gave dozens of tiny hints in s1 that we saw multiple worlds already... Tannhaus the watchmaker. Remember that we see him in a science show on TV in a bunker scene with the kids. I guess thats because in another dimension he is a scientist not a watchmaker. Also old tiedemann cop asks Jonas on a "sunday" why he isnt in school. The date on the school id of Mads as his body fells out of the time rip is issued after his disappearance (which is impossible). Photos change. On some Fotos people smile. but on the same in another scene they look depressed. + a few more things.
Good find! The action Figures in Season 1 also look like from another dimension: www.reddit.com/r/DarK/comments/7sokl8/is_there_something_off_about_the_action_figures/
Claudia also said that she had seen a world without Jonas. Only way that is possible is multi-verse. The show does a good job of putting the clues out there.
I think the guy that younger Noah kills at the beginning of the season is an older Bartosz. There is a strong resemblance and as well all know, the casting for this show is top notch.
That's the prevailing theory. But what's about the tatoo? Noah and that guy have the same tatoo. Noah on his back and that guy on his front. It's like they mirror each other. Maybe Noah kills Other-Dimension-Noah in this Scene.
@Dave Robb One big theme of the show is that as we age we change. Jonas is the protagonist. Yet he is also the antagonist. Over the course of 66 years he becomes the polar opposite of his young self.
I think they got their hands on an actual time machine to bring the actors back from the future so they could play their older selves in the series. It is unreal how spot on the older characters have been.
Since this season arrived the date that Michael (Mikkel) took his own life (21st June).. Season 3 should arrive next year the 27th June, the day the apocalypse came in the series.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock haha, Same thing happened to me when I saw trailer and find out that there's going to be only 3 seasons. But after watching season 2, it's kinda making sense. I think they knew all along how story going to unfold & come to an end which is very impressive & rare.
I Think its much much deeper than parallel worlds. The First time i Think the same "wtf another Dimension or parallel worlds?" But than i think The second time and it has nothing to do with a parallel world anymore. Why? Here is my answer: old Claudia says to jonas that she has seen the world he doesnt exist. And this fact changend nothing! In Claudia's time line, it must already have happened. Maybe Jonas or someone else find a way in the Future that jonas doesnt exist anymore. But the "Time" or Claudia find a way or Person to bring him back (because nothing has changed). And this is martha! And This is also the fact WHY it doesnt changed anything!I Think it is an important part of the neverending circle to put all pieces together. :) They think that they act freely or have a free will. but they dont have! Sry for the english 😅 i hope u understand what i try to say. Mindblowing!
@UCSID9b1D888e6VazadZ7ESg I think it will happen. that the birth of jonas is prevented. it is in claudias timeline and martha at the end comes from this. this is only a specific time. when? ... Season 3 will tell us! just the same between adam and jonas. The biggger question is: why does it all happen? Maybe it has to happen because one thing does not exist without the other. comparable to the big bang. The end is the beginning! For example, suppose Hannah 1954 could be ulrich's grandmother. farfetched, but it is obvious. she had proven to be nielsen and egon said the surname was rare. hannah is the grandmother of ullrich. ullrich the father of mikkel and mikkel the father of jonas. if hannah did not travel back. The family Nielsen and her son would not exist. I also think mads nielsen may not be dead - maybe he is Noah? mads is the brother of ullrich and possibly the father of charlotte. without hannah, the doppler family would not exist. Now you just need a connection to the tiedemanns 🤔 without the time travel and events, the families would wipe themselves out. and that is the paradox. they exist to exist at all. 😃👌🏽 I'm looking forward to the explanations in season 3
@@Susim89 good prediction, but Mads die in form of just kid. My real questions is how Alexander is connected to this, and why his story is not shown yet, when he kill real alexander. And aslo we see who is Noah. When he is young he convinced by his older version to go through time and save himself to that bunker and meet Elisabeth... who birth Charlotte from noah... just thinking haha. To good story
@@ZarkoStojkoskiOfficialMusic we don't know that the Kid they found in the woods 2019 is mads. The dead Child is maybe the real aleksander köhler? Noah is a member of the nielsen family, because agnes said it to him in the church. Maybe HE is mads or another nielsen. But Noah was a young timetraveller and travelled in the early twenties. Mads disappered 1986. Maybe he travels 66 years back to 1920. Noah works 1921in the caves and the man said to him he is a newbie from another time. I think there is more behind the fake aleksander and I want to know more. I think he was brought there so he placed the atomic waste (higgs boson) exactly there, so that the apocalypse can Happen. 🤔
I've seen many shows that were great, but after season 2 I've seen none better. The story-telling in this show is phenomenal. The way this show seamlessly goes back and forth through time without being hard to follow is something truly rare in Television. Also I would be remissed if I didn't praise the acting, cinematography and most importantly the score. The song selection for each episode seems almost tailor-made for the show. I cant wait for the 3rd cycle.
Easily, easily much better than in the last few seasons of game of thrones. Early thrones however, when GRRM still wrote for the show, when they followed the books, was exceedingly good. At that point it's not so easy to say that Dark is so much better, though I'd say even against early thrones Dark is perhaps slightly better, but definitely it becomes so that as the seasons progress for GOT Dark greatly exceeds it.
Fuckcing hell, this is the best TV show ever . I have watched many many shows in my life...My favorite character was Egon. I cried when his daughter goes back 1953 and talks to him..
Dark is incredible, nothing like Stranger thing in my opinion. I’m learning German so it helps me a lot. It’s amazing and I really hope people start watching it. Season one and two did great. The characters old and young are perfect.The storyline all add up everything works in harmony. Please check it out if you haven’t, great review btw!!
There is no "Which season is better" . There is only "This story is awesome". I hope they dont wreck the end, but I have complete faith in the writers after watching the first 2 seasons (3 times so far)
The introduction of parallel world's scares me a bit. I feel like it might be too much and the show might fall apart, but the writers haven't let me down yet. I'm excited to see where they go with season 3
Hey Guys, I'm from Germany! Whenever I recommend DARK to friends and family, they are like "eeehm... what? A German series? It can't be good". But after they watched it they are positively surprised. Most of German productions are really crap, so DARK is something special. I love the story, the cast, the whole atmosphere - it's an amazing show and I can't wait for season three next year. (It's already in production). And of course I'm very happy to see that a German series is appreciated internationally. Cheers and "Sic Mundus Creatus Est"!
Grim Rubbish Collector That's awesome! Could you please recommend any german channel that talks about Dark? I'm really interested in seeing their perspectives
yep, the same with mikkel going through the caves, theres was quite a few things where the exact details probably didnt 100% make sense but u give it a pass and suddenly bam, they nail it down perfectly with a reveal.
I hope Netflix will put out shows as complex and interesting as this one in the future. Season 2 really topped it of as one of the best things I have ever seen.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock I love your review for "Dark"! "Dark" was right up there with both "Maniac" and "The OA" for not only the best original content I've seen by Netflix, but some of the most potent fiction I've ever experienced in my life--in general. I haven't seen either of those shows in your videos, so I hope you check them out! Just for reference on my taste, I've really enjoyed your review for "The Leftovers" and "Legion," as well, and those are two others from my all time favorite stories. You'd be getting into bonkers, deep, epic, beautiful, and most definitely divisive fantasy/scifi with my aforementioned recommendations, just a heads up =P Cheers mate!
How the fuck where you able to put up a proffesional review like this of dark s2 so fast? Be honest, was time travel involved? I would have needed at least 1 month and a second binge of the series to sort out my thoughts on this so well...and even then I wouldn't been able to do a video review. Well done!
Many thanks! What helped me get organized ahead of time was revisiting Season 1 a few weeks before Season 2. I was primed and ready to go. Thanks for checking out my video!
My current theory is the following: The new world where Martha is coming from is a parallel world that was created by Jonas's choice to either save his father or not save his father. Adam is the Jonas that did save his father, while the parallel world is the one where he didn't save his father. The older Regina character said that she has seen a world where Jonas did save his father and it is even worse than the one they are in right now, thereby indicating that she is from the parallel universe as well. Maybe Adams "war on the world" means he is trying to eradicate the other parallel universe....
nice, my theory is that every slight change from the main timeline which we are watching ,becomes an alternate/parallel reality, which eventually builds up infinite possibilities of different realities. I recommend two really cool movies if you are into Dark: Predestination and Coherence
you mean Claudia. But yeah solid theory. I was confused why Jonas was so convinced by her. Him changing his mind about not saving his father Michael bordered me.
Thought the samw actually. But my theory is that nothing they do actually changes or destroys the loop. I think that when they do chanhe something that creates a different path in the future leading to the founding of a parallel universe instead of their own future changing. I think if Ulrich actually had killed child Helge that wouldn't lead to Mads and Erik being alive in his future. I think it would lead to a parallel universe where Erik and Mads never dissapear.
It's a shame none of the popular RU-vid review channels have covered this show. Thanks to you for taking the time to review the show and break it down for us.
I have no idea why so many film and television fans are so hesitant to jump on board. Hopefully the show will catch on slowly but surely over time but at least Netflix knows what a brilliant show they have on their hands.
I just bingewatched season 1 and 2 in 4 days. I can't believe there is close to not one watching this show. it saddens me that there are no youtubers doing reactions, review, theories or ANY content on this show.
What’s interesting to me is the very first thing that Martha with bangs says to Jonas in the finale, is “I’m not who you think I am.” I can’t wait to find out what she meant by that
All I had to say was WOW. Binged the entire thing. I’m ready for my 2nd viewing to help my brain understand some of those paradoxes. The Charlotte/Noah/Elisabeth left me speechless. Can’t for the final cycle. The Adam reveal was mind blowing, I still can’t get over that one.
DARK is the only show where I say " I don't know what the fuck is going on and I love it".. I watched season 1 three times because of all the damn characters... I will probably watch season 2 another time... watching this show is like reading a good book. I don't care if anybody else loves it or not I love it
The episode where he goes back to June 2019 is my absolute favorite. When he kisses Martha is one of the best romantic scenes in television history in my opinion.
Omg this show surprised the HELL out of me. It started a bit slow but then just pulled me in before I knew it. Its a total mindfuck but in a good way. If you can get through the subtitles & love Sci Fi/Mystery shows you will LOVE THIS SHOW. I paused it SO many times to just process wtf I was watching.
They started slow because they had many character introductions and different time lines. It was a clever move. As soon as we are familar with the characters and time lines the show becomes the best Netflix original show.
I am reminded Balance is difficult, whereas extremes are easy. 10 episodes for season 1 may have been a little long, but 8 episodes to season 2, felt to short. I would love to see the whole show in book form.
just discovered your channel when looking for reviews of dark which i binge watched both seasons in a couple days and am looking forward to the next season... like the way you explain things
The moment in Episode 4 when Adam reveals his true identity blew my mind as well. I did not see that coming from a mile away. Which is a truly unique experience because its kind of hard to engage me enough in a show to care about the characters or it is execuded to sloppy that I usually get whats going on. But the amazing thing about S2 was, it wasn't the only moment. Even more unexpected and more impactful was the death of Egon and how and why he died, the explanation of Michaels suicide and how Mikkel was able to travel back to 1986 through the cave. I would agree with most of your points, especially the kind of unsettling, unsatisfied feeling of "they are trying, but not getting the magic of S1 again" I had through the first episodes, right until the Adam-reveal. Same goes for the cliffhanger, with the direction it is taking. But, thinking about it, Adam had to know it would have to happen since he leaves Jonas stranded seconds before the End of World, with no means to get to safety. So he knew it. Overall, S2 feels a bit more "in the middle" than I would have liked. S1 could have stood as its own, but S2 needs to bridge 1 and 3 as well, which shows at some points. But that is just a very minor nitpick on an overall great event. I binged it in one go and could not stop watching until I reached the end.
I think that it is totally fair pointing out S2 feels more like a bridge between seasons rather than a self-contained story, which Season 1 easily could have been if it had not been renewed by Netflix. Hopefully Season 3 builds to something completely insane that makes the season 1 finale seem tame by comparison.
Geekin' with James Hancock I was so disappointed by the final episode of season one that I was angry that I had invested ten hours of my time in the show. There were too many questions left unanswered and I find that incredibly frustrating and unfulfilling. I’m super glad there has been a second season and that it answered a lot of my questions. I don’t think it was any less impactful than season one.
I'm from germany and i think your video is the best review i could find on youtube. Good content! I think the unbeliever who gets killed by young Noah looks like an older version of Bartosz. It seems that Mid-aged Jonas, Franziska, Bartosz and Magnus travelled to the 1880s and start to build up their traveller group. their young versions + 33years are nearly the age of the persons in 1922. Magnus older version is a perfect cast.
same reason macdonalds is probably the most successful restaurant in the world. buffy was in turn probably more popular than stranger things. whats the most popular show ever? friends maybe? its the tv equiv of a happy meal.
I watched season 2 in one day and had to immediately go back and rewatch season 1 for the 3rd time and there are still things I missed but makes for an amazing rewatch. I’m with you on convincing others to watch as this show is amazing as is the soundtrack. I’m excited for season 3 but also sad cause that will be the last one but I appreciate when a show knows when to end.
Dark: The BEST TV show that I have ever seen. Truly. And I’ve only been able to convince one family member to watch it, so I still have all of my thoughts and feelings inside my head, even after all of the years. I just found your review, thank you!
IMO, season 2 was better, which surprised me, because I didn't think it was possible to top the first season. Such an amazing and clever series! It might be my all-time favorite show.
@@veryincredibly I wholeheartedly agree! It is just perfection. Actually, another RU-vidr (eta nick) who also posted a review on Dark, just recommended Black Spot on Netflix, which is supposed to be along the same caliber as Dark. I doubt it could top it, but I looked at the trailer and read some reviews and it looks and sounds amazing. It's a French series, by the way. I'll probably start watching it in the next few days after re-watching season 2 of Dark once more. When I do, I'll let you know how it is. :)
By the way, I used to say Game of Thrones was the best show ever made, but then season 8 happened. lol. I honestly don't think anything is as good as Dark, but perhaps Breaking Bad comes in second place.
@@JamieBarrington Yeah I'm re-watching season 1 of Dark now for the fourth time and I'm still finding new things which is kinda ridiculous haha. I'm trying to get family and friends to watch it but no-one will; it's so frustrating. Haven't heard of Black Spot before but just googled it and yeah it even looks similar to a Dark type show; hopefully it will be just as good
Definitiv die beste deutsche Serie. Ich schaue selbst schon auf deutsch verfügbare Serien lieber auf englisch, deutsche Serien spare ich mir sogar komplett. Aber Dark? Wenn du auf Mystery stehst, Twin Peaks, Stranger Things, wird DARK deine Meinung über deutsche Serien komplett ändern. Hat sie bei mir zumindest. Eine der komplexesten, besten Mystery Serien momentan. Selbst ohne "für eine deutsche Serie" Bonus.
I really enjoy your reviews and analyzation of this show! The third cycle is fast approaching. Also, if you're an english native speaker who doesn't know a word of german, Jantje Friese would be pronounced like "Yunt-yeh Freeze-eh"
The movie "Predestination" is also a masterpiece that weaves time travel into its script with precision and awe. This show reminds me of that movie, but if parallel worlds are at play for Season 3, then "Dark" in my opinion places itself a notch above all.
Seriously, I saw seasons 1 and 2 this the DAY they came out and they are SO worth it!!! Andreas Pietschmann is my new celebrity crush!!!! I think this by far the best show on TV right now!! AND I too LOVE Stranger Things as well. You should give Black Spot (Zone Blanche) a French Show on Netflix a show if you haven't watched it. It's a lot of fun too!!
Loved season 1.... season 2 left my jaw dropping so many times i lost count.... this season easily put this show in my top 5 all time... also nice review video #subscribed
I can't believe my luck, I only started this show a week ago -finished season 2 today, and now I find out theres a fresh season arriving at the end of this week! All the pieces are in place.....
Best review of the season 2 I've seen so far. And Holly cow! Another amazing cycle! I really wished i had someone to discuss the show with in person. 😩 So much amazingness to be kept silent!
Dude, I couldn't agree more....absolutely love this creepy, weird, bizarre, dark show of marshmallow awesomeness!! And for the record your bookshelf is epic!! You have all the James S.A. Corey Expanse novels!! I loved every one!!
How about the casting directors? Talk about skill in matching up actors to play characters at different ages. I've never seen anything so accurate. Its almost as if each actor playing the same character is actually related to the others.
@@delusionalunicorn5324 No. he wasn't. Its Winfried Glatzeder... he is quite famous here in Germany... and yeah.. he really looks like a older version of Oliver Masucci.
ah ah ah ah AHHHHHHHHHHH !!! I haven't watch s2 yet but I am ridiculously excited for it! Tonight and tomorrow, for sure - and then I'll watch your review! Can't wait!
The OA is not bad has a few stand out moments. But Dark is much much better from everything from overall acting to the execution. The OA is a 7/10 at best and that's being generous, Dark is as close to a 10/10 you can get for a series.
This is easily the best show on netflix followed by Narcos in my opinion. I also thought that season 2 was better than season 1. They both have a slightly slow start, but by god the payoff is well worth it. I am kind of excited to rewatch it now that I know that some of the characters know.
"Dark" is one of the most interesting shows I've ever seen, period. I watched all of season 2 on Friday - I couldn't put it down. Crazy good. I also get the feeling the whole story has been planned out from the outset, and nothing is being wasted. As a viewer I am awed. And episode six? Yes. I was in tears. Amazing. At first, it reminded me of the scene in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me when we first revisit TP and the theme song starts playing again, and we see Laura and Donna going to school - but where we end up is utterly heartbreaking and touching.
Oh yell. I've read the first 3 Malazan Book of the Fallen books. Eagerly looking forward to the next 7 but taking a break reading Joe Abercrombie's 'The Blade Itself'.
The plot is very complicated, and several actors play each of the characters in different time periods. And this second season seems a little more complicated than the first because it's assuming you remember every little thing from the first season. That being said, I'll probably watch the season a second time sometime after I finish watching it. I did that for the first season, and it filled in so many things that I had missed the first time, and had unknowingly just let go. I always prefer subs to dubbed, but the complicated nature of the show added in with reading subs is probably what made me miss the complete experience upon the first viewing of the first season. I had enjoyed it, but felt I missed stuff, and was right. Still, it's an amazing show, with an amazing cast, well worth the extra effort! Four out four stars from me!!
i think that's not possible because in one episode he said that Bartosz was always naive, and I don't think that it makes sense to say this for yourself.
I had that same suspicion. Bartosz was big jealous of Jonas being with Martha. Wouldn't it be crazy to think this whole thing was started by Bartosz over jealousy? It was stated several times, namely Adam himself, that people are motivated by desires. What did he say to Jonas? "Pain is your ship, desire is your compass" Something like that. I guess its not true though because many people are saying that Noah Killed the older Bartosz. It was a fun theory though.
I love this show. Reminds me very much of Steins Gate, which I have to believe the writers of Dark are familiar with. The time travel method is completely different, but the repeated cycles, the visit to a dystopian and militarized future (like in Steins Gate 0) and the layered revelations of the plot are very similar. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the series wraps up in cycle 3.
Can someone talk about Michael's grave in 2052? It said june 26th 2020, but he died in 2019. In that scene, Jonas hadn't traveled to 2019 to save his father, which ended being the reason why Michael dies in that year. Soo they changed that from the future, didn't they? Or am I just truly confused?
Great review! Could you shed some light on why Noah was abducting and experimenting on those kids - in season 1 - when he was already an acolyte of Adam's, and thus already had access to a time machine? Also, in the scene where Martha (from another earth) rescues Jonas from the apocalypse, is that intended to be foreshadowing for how Adam later got his idea to build a new world? Does young Jonas/Adam have something to do with the existence of a parallel reality/world?
1: It's mandatory to allow creation of perfected machine, without it macgine in 1921 can't exist 2: It's unclear if season's end was experienced by Adam, as middle Jonas seems unaware of Martha's existence. My theory is, "Middle Jonas" is Jonas from another timeline, so Martha died for him, but young Jonas and Adam are the same person
I tried watching season 2. Didn't understand shit, had to re-watch season 1 to be able to enjoy season 2 🙈 I'm happy there's no weekly release honestly
I habe a theory: Noah is ultimately Magnus and Franziska's child! Noah (real name unknown so far) is a teenager in 1921. From the Sic Mundus picture you can see old Magnus and Franziska in their 50s.. So my guess is that old Jonas took them and Bartosz to 1888 and they stayed there and grew old until they are 50 years old in 1921. Jonas would then also age for another 33 years until he's almost 90 (Adam)
This show is insanely good. It’s the most dense storytelling in a show I have ever seen. Yet somehow the writing is so good that it’s easy to follow. You should check out reddit timeline maps of the show. It will blow your mind.
>Dark is the best story about time travel that I've ever seen Have you watched Primer? That movie is on the same level, though less effects-heavy and more cerebral. They only had like $7000 to make it, didn't stop them from producing probably *the* most realistic time travel movie, ever.
for time travelling shenanigans its my top pick too, tho primer is not to be discounted, and if you havent seen it you really need to watch "time crimes", I think original title "Los cronocrímenes"... its a really off the wall one but imo well worth a watch.
I love music sci-fi Dark has to be the best series on time traveling I have ever watched ...There is so much going on within the storyline it keeps your attention ..in fact you have to pay close attention to detail to stay on track ... That for me makes I all the more enjoyable ...It consumes and demands your full attention ...The Ending of season 2 left me with my mouth a gape .. I thought it couldn't get any more bizzare but it did with that ending ... Can't wait for season 3 which I think is supposed to be the final one ...It should be a very interesting watch to see how it all pans out ....A must watch 5/5
3:49 this, exactly this. It. Doesn't. Feel. Ridiculous. When I recommend this show to my friends I find it SO hard to explain what this show is about without giving some major spoilers, and I imagine if I told them it's about time travel that involves the end of the world (or whatever the "apocalypse" is) and a post-apocalyptic scenery they wouldn't wanna watch it, because it indeed sounds ridiculous. But it's so damn more than that, and it's hard to describe it.
Thank you for recommending Dark. I think you mentioned it first in your review of Stranger Things. I binged watched Season 1 & 2 of Dark. You are absolutely right. It is the best thing on TV, Cable and even Film. It's that good. Comparing to Stranger Things is wrong. It has nothing to do with Stranger Things. It is so intelligent and masterfully constructed. It makes you think about real things. The things philosphers have tackled with over the ages. It's passionate without the overly graphic sex scenes. It's about humanity and our quest to understand our role in the universe. Can't wait until Season 3 the final season. Folks, this is what smart writing and talented production looks like. It can be done without the crazy over the top gimmicks and special effects. Oh, and outstanding ensemble acting.
I agree with everything you said. I thought I was the only one who needed a note pad and pen beside me. And more importantly, a few sites with pictures and diagrams. That may sound scary, but man, what a ride!! And don't bother with the English dub. It really stinks. The German gives the best impact.
