    Man, while watching the series, it was a challenge to keep track of the characters and their familial relationships - but definitely possible. Hearing in a recap is tough. But you did an excellent job.

      How come the actors aren't as good looking as in most movies we are used to seeing. Are all of them actors or were they just pulled off the streets? Why do Germans seem not all that sensitive. Sure they can be expressive but there is a slightly sinister rudeness. Sometimes there is a correlation between manners and how one looks and the reality of who one is. I visited Europe and the Germans seemed colder though sure the French seemed nasty. Not to me .. just saw the way they interacted with others.

      For real I'm just watching this series now (I can't believe I held in my que for 3 yrs- I love it so far❗️) & there's hardly any season reviews, yet the 2 above this are🗑compared to this. Ironically the #️⃣1️⃣ Viewed is uploaded most recent + the views are astronomically ahead of all others, yet it's THE WORST🤔😆-only one I turned off 2 mins in💯

      @@oppothumbs1 Wow. You must be an American. The actors look like real people: not Hollywood plastic. An btw: you can't really watch a series made in a different country (something you obviously don't do much of) and think you've unlocked the whole country's historical/cultural makeup. If you think Germans were cold to you, I wonder if it had anything to do with all those years of occupation while mono-lingual white American tourists and military personnel tromped around and gave us all a bad name. Smh.

    Only just started watching dark yesterday, and just finished season 1 now. And I had a couple of questions, normally I would be reading 3 or 4 different recaps that people have written out on different websites. And it normally takes me ages of reading through to find the answers to my questions. But this vid explained all my questions and answered things I wasn't even aware of. Thanks! Awesome vid. I'm sure I'll be back for the season 2 recap. Lol

    In the episode 6 Ulrich’s mother said that Claudia Tiedemann was the mistress of his husband and Regina Tiedemann (Claudia’s daughter) was the last one who saw Mads alive in 1986. Now, Regina’s husband is Aleksander Tiedemann. So Meaning Regina was already Tiedemann before he got married to Aleksander???

      This was answered in episode 2 of Season 2. Aleksander took Regina's last name when they got married.

    I watched this show recently, and I watched it twice, and I had to try to keep notes... I was way too confusing for a relaxing watch kind of show.. but if you really want to watch something that you need to pay, such close attention to it is good... but being so much to remember like that does take away much of the entertainment aspects of watching a show after a long day

    Good good job on this. I really found this show overwhelming. Nothing like this .series will ever be made. Now way anything can top this. I was always fascinated by time travel. Not in a fiction way.
    But in a possible way. I have a profound education in physics. Chemistry, and nuclear level too. I read a lot into what is theorized as the beginning of how matter comes from nothing.
    Albert Einstein's brain by some mutation that gave him an advantage no other had. He seen and understood a dimension that no one else did. Lot of his stuff was laughed at and now more and more supercomputers finding his theories were spot on. He insisted time travel was possible if some conditions, like exceeding the speed of light. He said time and matter intertwined and just I can only say I been waiting my whole life for this series. I can die tomorrow having everything fulfilled. If time travel is discovered some dude will read this, whip back in time and make sure I get whipped into a different place and time. I wanna make sure I pull a Biff from Back to the Future and bring me a sports almanac to get some spending money. I'm gonna box every trifecta in the Kentucky Derby.

      Unlike the caves below which offer a path to specific year, the rift that was opened in the bunker can send anyone into future or past in multiples of 33. So in a since it sent Jonas 66 years into the future to 2052

    • @BenjaTV
      @BenjaTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      12 Monkeys (the show, not the movie) is incredibly underrated and it has one of the best series finales I've ever seen. It's also the most similar to Dark among the shows I'm listing.
      Counterpart is even more underrated and it's short but it's probably not as mindbending as Dark. Still, some great acting performances and a world that feels real.
      The Leftovers and Fringe would be my other recommendations. I watched Fringe a long time ago so I don't know how it aged but I remember it being very addictive.
