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.
lol, I like your style.
Brilliant
@Aaron Nuske that part still confusing me to be real
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This guy Darks.
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.
Sad but true.
I used to not love german that much but it kinda grew on me so fast after season 1 and then season 2 i love it
Hate to admit it but I was expecting subtitles -tedious reading a movie😑
The dubbing is not bad & well synced🤗
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...🤗
Jon Snow: My family tree is complicated...
Jonas Kahnwald: Hold my jacket...
Grayson Haynes “hold my raincoat”
This type of jacket is called Friesennerz in germany
I've seen this comment now about 4 times.
@@Emily00Strange which comment was the first and which was the last? a loop?
😂😂😂😂😂
Dark is what happens when you retain high production values, but stop catering to the average american.
Why would they cater to them anyway considering that it is a german show? ;)
@@Quotenwagnerianer Because it is on Netflix and it's an American platform? And because there are 300+ millions of them there.
@@jutjubow But Dark comes from Netflix Europe. And there the german market is the most important one. ;)
Sad, but true.
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
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!!
I know the feeling. I have a hard time convincing my friends and family members to try it but nearly everyone who sees it ends becoming obsessed.
B Spin same here! And I can’t find any fulfilling discussions online.
let's create one
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)
Delusional Unicorn I AGREE! Let’s create a fan page on FB!
Last circle beginns 6 / 27 / 20 20 ... They started filming last week.
Hell yeah is all I can say.
:o
So, does it mean, it's there last season too?
@@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.
Grak Pan unlike the writers at stranger things.
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 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.
holy shit. that....that makes kind of sense !
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.
Your conjecture is so possible it may even be spoiler 😱
Yes I wish that they would stop comparing stranger things to this show they are nothing alike nothing at all!
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🤗
this season resembles 12 monkeys. But yeah I started watching it because it was compared to stranger things
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.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock just into S2 AWESOME 🤗 But... my brain hurts now- started watching on 6/21/19 am I cursed?🤤
Season 1 and 2 = Time travel
Season 3 = Parallel Worlds
Best show Ever
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. 🤔
Season 3 parallel universe
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.
wow i never noticed that, good eye!
i think Clausen is from another dimension too
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've watched many TV series. Dark is the best one.
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.
😑, but DARK is a Web Series.
@@neroresurrected Yeah, STRANGER THINGS is just great. But DARK is a Masterpiece.
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..
I'm excited to see what happens in the 50s plot. Looks like Hannah has a crush on Egon. Where this will lead us?
@@83stimpy Birth of Boris Niewald. Maybe...
Couldn't agree more, literally I'm out of words.
I was briefly outraged when the show drew to a close after only 8 episodes but that will just increase my anticipation for Season 3.
@@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.
Easily much better writing than in Game of Thrones
Donald Trumps speeches are better written than GoT S8
This is some of the best TV writing of the last decade in my opinion.
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.
After seeing episode final of Dark. I thought to myself: "Now thats how you tell a story with epic ending within 8 episodes". :D
The writing is better than almost all shows there are. Even if you hate everything about Dark, you have to admitt the writing is outstanding.
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!!
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
It's the best TV series I've ever watched (not my favourite but definitely the best I've ever seen) it's so brilliant!
Season 2 episode 6 is quite possibly the greatest piece of television to come out this year
Yes, yes, yes!
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)
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....
I am all in on everything you just wrote. I love it.
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.
@@SaschaBraus77 wow, this is even bettet
Loved this season. I'm just so happy we got an answer to last season's biggest mystery: how did the dog open the portal door?
How.
@@nicolasbosteels225 really old claudia opened it so the dog could go to older cluadia.
Absolutely! They definitely are making an effort to fill in plot holes when they can.
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.
@@necaacen That's right! Mikkel and the caves! Nicely done, Dark.
I literally have anxiety from this show! It's so amazing and confusing at the same time. How do people think of this stuff?
It's a shame none of the popular TH-cam 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.
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!
This is the best show ever
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 by far the best show on netflix!
It is definitely the best original content by Netflix I have seen so far.
@@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!
Darth Vader: "No, I am your father."
Adam: "Hold my Schnaps."
It’s a cool series but not for a casual viewer. I tried to explain Jonas’ parents and my boyfriend was already lost. Best casting.
Epic show , I still don't understand why Stranger things is more popular than Dark .
It’s simple. ST has no subtitles. Sadly a lot of people are put off by subtitles.
Agreed. Stranger Things is like eating ice cream, Dark is a full meal.
Also because Dark is way more complex and nothing for casuals
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 think us fans tend to underestimate the quality of some shows. ST1 is about as good as season one of Dark IMO.
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.
This show is the epitome of why I love Sci-fi so much. It made me a total believer in time travel 💕
This show is such a treat for fans of hard sci-fi. It's becoming more and more rare to have a smart show that isn't a glorified soap opera.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
I mean if not Dark what other show? I've watched many various types of shows and nothing compares to Dark; it's in a league of its own. Just curious
@@veryincredibly I wholeheartedly agree! It is just perfection. Actually, another TH-camr (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
I watched all of season 2 immediately when it was released. I'm just in awe and cannot wait for season 3...
Sounds like we will only have a year to wait this time instead of 18 months. Fingers crossed!
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.
This show is the multiplayer version of the movie, "Predestination" (or the book, All You Zombies)
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 show. Ready for season 3.
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!
You're in for a treat.
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!!
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!!
"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.
Good call, Tonia! I had a similar experience as well when I saw Fire Walk with Me for the first time.
That non believer that young Noah killed was old Barthoz!
Together with The OA one of the must unique shows Netflix has to offer , watch it in original German. Great script supported by strong performances.
I loveeee the 1 sesión of OA, but after 20 min in the 2 season did not catch my atention, it is good????
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.
Chinda Ajoku What's OA?
@@SoWhosGae The OA is a now cancelled Netflix series , very strange yet interesting : th-cam.com/video/DvHJtez2IlY/w-d-xo.html
YES! Thank you! Great analysis. Looking forward to your views on the third season.
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.
It took a bit to figure it out but the clock tic sound at the beginning of scenes was used to show the time period of that scene changed.
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.
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
It's pure torture having to wait a whole year to watch a season of this show. Great review by the way.
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.
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.
SG is also one of the best time travel stories too.
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)
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 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
Man i binged watched season 2.... gawd damn this season is fire bruh... I'm mind blown by the last episode. i cant wait for season 3
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.
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.
Primer and Time Crimes are both amazing, had them in my movie collection for years.
Late coming to the party but thank you so much for recommending this masterpiece of a show to me!! Absolutely amazing!,
Glad you enjoyed! Very fired up for season 3.
Me too!! Finished season two just before & already I’m experiencing withdrawal!! It’s just so good!!
Same here!! Finished season two before & already suffering withdrawal!!
I have a theory that I haven't seen anyone else explore. If this is impossible please give me your input. So early in season 2 we find out that Doris teidermann is having a lesbian affair with Agnes. Im Assuming that Doris and Egon are married in 1953. Towards the end of this season Hannah travels back to 1953 and finds Ulric in the mental institution. She gives him an ultimatum that'll secure his freedom. His answer makes her realise she will always be on the back burner regardless of where and what time. While reflecting on her life and impending miserable fate over a smoke break accompanied by Egon, Hannah pretty much says "fuck it I'm going to do whatever I want. Nothing matters anymore." Egon looks at her as if it was love at first sight. Here's where my theory kicks in. I think that Egon and Hannah have a secret affair. Thus creating our other important puzzle piece...... Claudia... I know what you're thinking "Doris is her mother." Hear me out. Why make Claudia such an important character who accepts death and plays a huge role in setting the time right if her past is as simple as Egon and Doris. There needs to be some motive. Also Hannah has brown eyes and Egon has blue. They play on Claudia's heterochromia a lot in this season. What if Egon knows about Doris and Agnes and Agnes knows about Egon and Hannah and they both decide to keep this a family secret. Maybe After Hannah gives birth to Claudia she then time travels or dies? Maybe that's truely the reason Egon is living alone in in1986. Maybe Claudia has that gut feeling/deja Vu and that's why she's such a jerk to her dad because she knows she shouldn't exist or at least feels like she shouldn't. I like the idea of Hannah being more villainous then just for messing up modern day Jonas' timeline. His one mother is his villain. Kinda like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Let me know what you guys think....
We shall see but I'm pretty sure Hannah and Egon are going to hook up - Ya
Just finished binging this show after I saw comments about it in stranger things. This show is light years better than stranger things, makes it looks like its written by 6 yr olds.
The ending makes sense because according to Einstein time is the fourth dimension which means the answer Adam is looking for isn’t in this dimension but in another. He’s looking for the precise moment in time which started this whole mess and he’s trying to end it so he can create a new world but he doesn’t realize that moment exists on another world not this one.
I think Claudia is ahead of him on this matter that is why she allowed herself to die. That might be a Claudia from another dimension.
I think melty face Adam figured out how to beat Claudia in this dimension so he sent young Noah to kill her in the bunker. What he doesn’t realize is that doesn’t matter because Claudia already moved on to another dimension.
I think in the end Claudia will triumph over Adam.
I’m still not convinced Adam is Jonas....
This is crazy, not only time, but also space at the last there may have other universes link together 😵
I am German and was very sceptical of "Dark", because, well, it's German. German shows are usually very bad written and seem very cheap, but Jeez... Dark?
I binged season 1 and season 2.
This show is mindfu** at its finest!
I am so glad that the show does not follow scheme x and does exactly what you don't expect.
The final of season 2 is so epic .
. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I need season 3 now ;( 1 year to wait is so long
Oh, and it wasnt released at ANY date. Fucking 21.06.2019!!! Amazing
.... As the show plays out in season 1 .... this is actually cycle "X +1" (at least) ... with the real timeline where events are unaffected by time travel (TT) being indicated as "X". ... when TT becomes possible TTs events lead to alternative (and overriding) timelines "X+1, X+2, X+3...x+n"... in this case the bootstrap paradox is resolved as the events leading to the bootstrap did occur, but in a previous timeline "X+n-1". If the timeline that led to TT is unknown then the true timeline "X" timeline is also unknown. To resolve the X+n back to X you need know X - ...which in the case of the show is, from the viewers perspective and those in series (X+1 timeline), is impossible as you don't know X. Any changes you make to "X+n" takes you further away from X - at what would likely be at an increasing rate: butterfly effect on the timeline... interesting to think about multiple time travelers and how changes (X + n) impact each other and potential futures - who trumps who? My interest in the show was the explanation of how time travel was realized.... rather than the apparent time travel wars that where created by the effects of the X+N.... if they don't define X (which I don't think they can) ... then the plot feels flimsy (ie. the same paradox explanation as Predestination...it is because it just is?). ... If you want to see a good tt movie, try Primer (film) - Wikipedia...
I watched this show because there was a poll on TH-cam and someone in the comments section said it was the best show ever. Now I'm halfway through season 3 and I'm happy I gave this show a chance. The writers created a world where anyone (from any time) can come around any corner or out from behind any tree. A world where you can encounter the same person from a different time or even from a different world, and never really truly know who you can trust. A world that challenges YOU to put yourself in the characters shoes so you can see just how mind-bending time travel can truly be. If you watched the show, then by the end of season 2 you can see just how much story there is to tell. Unfortunately, with the show ending after season 3, I feel like this show did not get the love it deserved.
Being a daughter and mother at the same time was too much, ( who was first the egg or the chicken)that broke my brain, and the end ufffff
It's the show's theme- the end is the beginning, the beginning is the end, it's an endless cycle.
Not the subject but lacking anywhere else worth the effort to say it...
I LOVE TRAVELERS too!😍...
Just sayin...
I've just watched series 1 and 2 ready for the third, its out tomorrow and I cant wait, will you be doing reviews for each episode?
I agree. Watched 1 & 2, twice. No ready for Episode 3. Will probably watch that 2x. In fact, I may just watch all three, a third time. lol love the reviews afterwards.
>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.
congratz on your netflix minigig, you deserve way more than 15k subs!
My only gripe was Adam's make up, wish it was the smallest bit more realistic. Everything else was perfection !
I also think that Dark is a thinker's story, .you can enjoy the story for what it is but there is so much more to explore every little detail mean so much more than what it actually is
Just finished Season 2, and am afraid that it just got convoluted at the end. The alt universe Martha was a tad much. And very cool James appeared in a promotion for the show.
Spoilers - Amazing show, the writers are already juggling 10 balls with the the time travel threads and throwing in alternate realities is going to add another 10 balls. If they can pull that off in season 3 it will be truly epic or fail miserably like alternate Martha's hairdo.
For Neither ever, nor never
Goodbye
Also in time travel movies you can never confront your younger / older self because ... the universe will explode (whatever) in this series you have see characters having conversation with themselves
Primer is the most complicated time travel film
Does anybody know what are the marks in Tronte's arm? They appear on the first season but on the second they doesnt explain that.
Lia they look like some kind of burn.
@@lesliemisaacs I know, but they doesnt show who does that to him, didnt they?
Lia no, they don’t ever show them again or talk about them. Maybe Noah, Tronte’s father, tested a prototype of a time machine on him and it left those marks.
My guess is that Tronte was being abused by his father who burned him with a cigar, leading his mother to leave with him.
Great review! Couldn’t agree more. I am pretty sure in season 3 Jonas is going to meet with The OA 😂😌
I continue to be completely blown away by the vast scope and reach of the writers' imagination.
After many shows, I can confidently say Dark has become the one I have liked the best.
You should be more cautious with the spoilers though. You wouldn't wanna ruin the experience to those who didn't watch it yet.
Agree 100% I think I actually like season 2 better. And I had to go on you tube to figure out exactly who was who and what was going on but I enjoyed it!
I think this is one of the few instances where ignorance (not speaking German) is actually a blessing. The international reaction to the show seems to be more enthusiastic than in Germany itself, where quite a few critics point to the very wooden and highly pretentious dialogue as its major weakness.
The Problem in Germany is. No one wants to produce "fiction" or scifi at all. And when some guys have a great Idea Like DARK. They even laugh over it because Time travel is silly. Its scifi goddammit its Not real. All countries rate this Show 8-10. Germany Rates it 4-5. Lol. It fills me with Anger to see this. Fritz Lang would rotate in his grave. Thats also why every good Guy that tries to make fiction here goes to Hollywood. For example Roland Emmerich.
Tobin Erwin I watched it dubbed in English with English subtitles as well, and the funny thing is, they almost never matched up. At different times, they were both very “wooden” and lame, almost as if they were being switched back and forth by mistake. The acting was phenomenal, but yeah, the dialogue wasn’t great.
German people take themselves too seriously 😂 I find it a bit strange that in the 80s there was no reference whatsoever to the split east/west Germany 🤷♀️
I watched in original dubbing with subtitles. The original acting is very very convincing! I really liked Jonas acting. I think Magnus was impeccable. Ulrich was also very convincing. I didn't like the actress for Martha, I think in the cast she was the weakest. As for dialogues pls keep in mind that people in Germany have an accent and talk very fast..the fact that Winden is a fictional town somewhere not specified in Germany doesn't help.
By far Dark is the the best series that I have ever seen and I really enjoyed your video and hope to see more of them
A fantastic show. Good on you for speaking/posting about. Thanks.
Great review mate
Is Jonas really Adam? The only "proof" he showed to Jonas was that he had rope scars on his neck from a hanging. There was another person that hung himself... Mikkel. Adam could very well be from another world and could be lying to Jonas... then again, I really thought Bartosz was Noah too, but we all know how that turned out.
There is a reason why Noah steps back in season 2. In season 1, he was supposedly the evil overlord who follows his dark plans. In season 2 we learn that he in fact isn't the evil mastermind but a henchman of Adam. And finally we learn that he isn't that evil at all, he only did it to find and bring back his daughter that went missing and left a heart-broken Elisabeth behind. Good and evil is justa matter of perspective. That is what Michael told Jonas and Noah is the best example of that. In the end, there isn't good and evil, only desperate people trapped in a virtuous circle trying to break out. And all of them have different and contrary believes how to achieve that. And since the cycle repeats itself over and over again, life and death finally doesn't matter anymore on the way to find salvation.
I like that the show makes you think. Truly my favorite show in the last few years.
The time period between 2020 and 2053 is 33 years. So, according to the timeline, Elisabeth should be 42 or 43 years old. But the Elisabeth in 2053 looks like 75 or 76. You know what that means right? 2053 Elisabeth is not actually the Elisabeth in the bunker, but she is the middle aged Elisabeth who married Noah in or after 1987.
And I have a question about the 2053 timeline. Who is the girl who was assisting Elisabeth and helped Jonas in his mission? It also seemed like she had a connection with Jonas but how? She seems completely different and unknown.
The non-believer at the beginning of the first episode pretty much has to be Bartosz. I mean look at him.
ikr! It's totally him.
Good summary... And excited to hear there will be a third season!
8:55 It wasn't just a non-believer Noah was stabbing with the pick axe. It was Bartoz, who is Noah's father. 😳
This show is in a whole other universe that Stranger Things. There has never been anything like this I saw before. What an amazing show. Can’t wait to see Cycle 3 & how they bring that to Netflix.
I can’t believe it took me this long to find out about this masterpiece
