![]() I told them that I couldn't explain why without spoilers but they needed to finish the show before they got too much into it because they were going to need some slightly more complex code than normal. I mean, look at the comments here where u/armedcats is suggesting (very reasonably in this case) that it would be a good idea to watch each episode twice, the second time taking notes, in order to keep track of what is going on.Ī couple of years ago there was someone in one of the programming subs talking about how they had just watched the first season of dark and were working on a genealogy web app so folks could use it to keep track of the families in these complicated shows. I love it personally, but we live in a world where Big Bang Theory was a major hit. ![]() More it is just a really complex, demanding show and a whole lot of people aren't up for that. Slightly contrary opinion, I don't feel like Dark is little-known. I hope you enjoy it, and I'm pretty sure you will! It demands and expects an adult audience who have a reasonable attention span and can understand what's going on without tons of exposition. It requires your full attention at all times. One warning: you cannot watch this whilst distracted. I've bribed, blackmailed and coerced my friends into giving it a go and after seeing the show, they've all agreed there's nothing like it out there. The battle I've had is in convincing people to watch a German sci-fi show in the first place. Literally everyone I know who has watched S1E1 has loved it. I was hooked from the first episode but S1E6 is when my jaw hit the floor and I started binging it. (Thankfully there is an official website that enables you to enter your current episode so that you can recap on key plot points without spoilers.) The casting is unbelievable, but I can't say more about that without giving away spoilers. Why am I recommending this? Firstly, the plotting over the 3 series is superb in that it is difficult to see any holes or inconsistencies in what is undoubtedly the most complex narrative I've watched for some time. Then, another boy goes missing in 2019 and the brown smelly stuff really hits the revolving metal object. The disappearance reminds older residents of a similar missing boy, a case that happened precisely 33 years before. In 2019 a boy goes missing and an active search is underway. It's the story of four families living in a small south German town called Winden. Thankfully though, it's also not Game Of Thrones, and the conclusion is immensely rewarding. Each series increases the complexity of the plot until you simply cannot see how it can end satisfactorily. There is a proper conclusion to the narrative. ![]() So what is it? Well, it's 26 episodes of 45 minutes each, spread over 3 series. And it's not massively sci-fi focused, apart from the show's main plot device, although I'm sure you will adore how Schrodinger's Cat and the Higgs-Boson particle are vital elements of the story. Despite the fact that it starts with a missing boy, it's also not the German version of Stranger Things. It's not English: it's a German show that you can watch either dubbed or with subtitles. trying to explain this show without spoilers will be tricky but let's give it a go. I'm an old man now and this pleases my heart so much! Apologies if a TV show recommendation isn't allowed here.ĮDIT: it seems more people than I ever believed possible know about the show. There is a r/Dark subreddit but the show is little-known and deserves a wider audience. Know any others? Message #scifi and let your friendly mods know!
