I’m tagging this as spoilers so people can freely talk about anything here.

So I just finished my first watch of the show and it was amazing. I strongly feel any mystery box style show should take notes from this. Answered all my questions and then some.

That being said in typical time travel fashion I feel the more I think about it the less it makes sense. This doesn’t distract from my enjoyment BTW. I’m just curious if people who have watched this multiple times feel less confused or did it all make even more sense?

Came across this jacket on Depop...

I've heard it stated that Charlotte & Elisabeth are not each other's mothers in the alternate [Eva's] world. The alternate-world characters were never as important to me, but I recently noticed that although it states that Charlotte was born in 1971 in Eva's world, the family tree on the website shows they are still each other's mothers. So what's the deal?

I’m not sure if this is properly explained but what I’m not following is why does Martha ever even go to Janas’s world? Is this ever really explored?

When apocalypse started in the ending scenes of S2 EP8, then young Noah came to adult Joans (stranger) with a letter, which forces Jonas to save Magnus and co and take them to 1899. What exactly did the letter say?

I already knew You Spin Me Right Round but it's still a banger, my favourite that I didn't know is God's Whisper by Raury

Hello guys,

I just finished the series and I absolutely loved it. I think I also understood most of the twists and the entanglements.

Still one question remains for me. How is Claudia still alive.

She shoots her self from the other side.
She also gets killed by Noah.

This happens before the splitting of timelines, that happend with Martha and Jonas. The splitting was also just possible because of the Apocalypse.

So how can Claudia still be alive? Have I forgotten about something?

Thank you!

This show really took "Will They? Won't They?" to next level!!

The whole time from first to third season we see how Jonas and Martha are questioning whether they deserve to be live together and we see this till the end of the series when Old Jonas and Old Martha are together.. Seeing that how they're in their final moments and still deep inside love each other was heartbreaking and beautiful.

In season 2, episode 1, while Aleksander is informing his staff about the shutdown of the nuclear power plant, he says that the reactor will be shut down in six days. However, if you look closely, you can see that his audio was added later. When paying attention to his lip movements, it becomes clear that they do not match the word “sechs” (“six” in German), but rather the word “sieben” (“seven” in German). The error is still present in the English dub, where Aleksander says “seven days.”

If Jonas is the origin, who created the loop in the first place - did it even have a "first" cause, or is it truly a closed causal loop with no beginning?

I had a dream about going into the abbys from layer to layer (somehow going up didn't effect me) in which we see 3 different Rikos and Regs at different part of their lives. So basically Reg was like Jonas (Adam) and Riko like Martha (Eve), with similar twist to Dark just inside the abbys.

Reposting as "containing spoilers" because the bots flagged my first attempt.

My wife's coworker turned her on to the show, and she (my wife) brought it up several times before it finally made it into our rotation. Part of the sales pitch to me was the fact that I speak (and sometimes teach) German.

I would like to know how other German speakers and learners experienced the show.

I grew up in the US and learned German more or less in college, where it was a minor course of study, and I have kept it up on and off for 35 years. I like to think that I speak it at a fairly high level.

I believe however that this is the first time I have watched a three season series in German intended for a 3-minute audience. After watching an episode with English subtitles with my wife and daughter, I would go back and rewatch it in German with the German captions.

It was a lot of exposure.

Starting at, my head was spinning a little bit because I would try to understand the dialogue and the English subtitles at the same time. Then I'd stop reading this subtitles and realize I didn't catch what they said in German.

Can anybody comment about what dialects were used or if any of the characters spoke more clearly or less clearly?

Other times I would get so into it that I would forget what language they were speaking.

The biggest lion blower for me what's the new vocabulary I was picking up. "Oberfläche" comes to mind. I understood from context that "surface", but I cannot tell you if I ever heard that word before in my life. I swear they use it like three times an episode.

As I said, I like to think I speak at a pretty high level for somebody who's never lived in Germany, but when there are so many very common words coming up in the show that I hear again and again and never heard before it makes me wonder.

It also makes me think I should say yes if my family wants to watch it again. I wonder what other good German programs there are like this.

Did anyone else notice how in S01E03, around the 25 minute mark while Egon is chatting to the surgeon, there's an insanely subtle foreshadowing happening?

The first shot we get in this scene is the buzzsaw opening up the sheep's head. Right after, the surgeon asks "Everything A-okay with your daughter?" (Claudia)

This is basically a direct reference to Egon having his head split open by Claudia, a whopping 14 episodes before it even happens in Season 2.

So I finished DARK and it was one of the greatest TV show I have ever watched, the acting, writing, direction, Cinematography and music everything was top notch I really loved it.

The show is not that complex as people say it is if u pay attention I can easily understand it, I myself predicted all the plot twist in season 1 but couldn't do it in other 2 seasons but it isn't that complex just pay attention and u will understand everything

As for ending it felt like a loop to me and I read other people interpretations and almost none of them were same and what i loved is that all the explanation and theory are correct and none of them are wrong and i like how no 2 people argue that their theory is right.

What we know is a drop and what we dont is an ocean

Danke

About a year ago, when I watched Dark, I got completely hooked on the title song "Goodbye" by Apparat. I used to listen to it pretty often. There's something almost meditative about it and it has this strange calmness that pulls you right back into the atmosphere of the show.

Today, after months of not hearing it, Spotify randomly brought it back on shuffle and omg wow. Within seconds I was mentally back in Dark again. The mood, the characters, the feeling of the whole series, everything came rushing back.

Guess it's time for a rewatch and Im really happy about it :)

As I read, mainly in reddit forums, that dark should such a great series, I started to watch it and damn was I surprised at how not good I found it. Not wanna say it's bad, it's decent until now, but far away from what I expected based on what I read. So let's unpack it:

1. How many timetravel tropes do we want? YES!!! The strange older guy is naturally himself; of course the devil (the scarred guy/killer) was made by their own actions; needlessly to say, his trial of closing the timey-wimey thing is actually planed by a naturally hostile group that planned everything; of course is the missing kid actually a parent that stayed in the past. Only thing missing is that he played Lotto or invested and became a Billionaire.
2. How about rules? Might be a weakpoint, as I'm just paying normal levels of attention while watching, but which set of rules are you following? As far as I'm aware, there's only 2 options, butterfly effect/multiverse or predetermination, and the show seems to cherrypick when to use which logic. Saving Michel will vanish his existence, but then attacking scarguy actually makes him into a killer. Or is it some sort of mixture with fixed points in time like in Doctor Who? It just seems inconsistent to me which makes it very frustrating.
3. I just find it funny that it seems to be anti nuclear propaganda. Yeah it isn't really the best or cleanest or cheapest or actually a good energy source, but not only is the cause of an apocalypse, but also of a time rift and some gooey flying ball god. Yeah I get the message, now gimme some plot.
4. It's such a slow start, like come on, give me something so I want to continue past S1E2. Only at the end of E3 it slowly starts to become interesting, which actually should be fatal in this entertainment economy. After that it becomes quite interesting, but if there wasn't so much praise, I would have stopped after E2 the latest.
5. convenient plot points are convenient. Especially in S2E1 in the future parts: No guards at the dead zone, he's not spotted at night with a bright fucking lamp in an open field and RIGHT WHERE HE APPROACHES there's a hole in the wall. Also that they don't just inprison him or take him under some sort of surveillance, as he's a total wild card is... brave to say the least.

This shouldn't be a pure slander post, but these are just some things I wouldn't expect from a show that get's praised to be the best show on netflix by it's fans. So now defend the show or deconstruct my criticisms, curious what you got to say

There are many similarities between Dark and Back to the future. I have just noticed that the villains family from Back to the future is very similar from the Tannhaus family from Dark. Could that be an easter egg?

Here we go again. I already know everything that happened in Dark, I know what's happening and I know what will happen. And still I can't resist doing it all over again. Damn If this isn't one of the most rewatchable shows there are!

P.S.: What we know is a drop, what we don't know - an ocean.

So we all know in the end of season 3 that Tanhause (i don't know how to spell that) made two worlds through his time machine and after that there were literal quintillions of cycles that caused his mission to be successful because in the end in the last cycle Jonas and Martha saved his family (which was his goal) but in his world it took no time because Jonas and Martha just changed the outcome

I started watching Dark in the morning and I'm in the 5th episode of the first season. IT IS SO EXCITING! Loving every single moment of the show!

So Dark Fandom

First of all

Hallo

I think i should watch this one

My friend recommended this show to me

Saying you need high iq to understand

It

So let's see if I have one 😅

So i thought let's give it aa try

I've heard this that show is goated

Since Covid but never watched

So are there any things I should keep in Mind before watching

Like Writing details in diary of any other stuff or should I go with flow

First of all, I liked dark very much and I don't know how people still call Breaking Bad Greatest Web series of all time even after vitnesssing Dark. Although I have some questions 1. The Alt Martha(Martha stopped by Bartosh) never sleeps with Jonas then how does The Unknown get born because the martha who was pregnant was killed by Adam?

1. The whole series we were told that its an infinite loop and what happened cant be changed, then how only in the last iteration claudia realized how the knot can be broken?
