“The difference between past, present and future is only a persistent illusion, but this illusion is very powerful.”- Albert Einstein The original first German series of Netflix, Dark's script the film which was acclaimed with its cleverly written screenplay belong to "Who am I" screenwriter Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar. The Dark deserves praise. It is known by some people as the Stranger Things of Germany. It can be likened to in terms of time travel, little town and lost children. But these two series are different in my opinion. The closest I can come up with is that is reminds me of the eerie feeling of Donnie Darko. Dark's poster was intrigued by me, so I gave it a chance and I'm glad I watched. The mysterious, cold, dark atmosphere of the town where the events take place passes to the audience. And the rain, which is constantly falling, reinforces the gloomy mood of the series. The theme music of Dark by Ben Frost, which perfectly complements this atmosphere, makes a great contribution to the escalation of tension. The series can be rather slow and can often feel like it's going to take the approach of lost leaving questions unanswered, but it does all lead somewhere and it's an intriguing time travel thriller/mystery with some amazing performances. The story begins with the disappearance of a child in a small German town Winden. Then the disappearance of another child and the relationship between the four families in town slowly emerges. The story Dark's trying to tell is so complicated that you can't watch it so comfortably. Trying to keep in mind the relationships between characters and each other requires a lot of effort. As the episodes progress, the number of characters increases and the relationships between them are becoming more complex. The series takes place in two time zones and then in three different time zones, and until almost the last episode, these streams hide their mysteries and a new puzzle comes out from under each event. Don't forget to note the characters and relationships between them in order to alleviate this complex structure of Dark. A complete masterpiece in terms of the view. The cinematography and the choice of place is quite good. The environments in 1953, 1986 and 2019 are so well-placed. You get a German town mood. Actor selections were just as good. Especially images of each character in three different time is great. There's no actor I think is bad. Both young actors and adults do great work. Do not watch the English dubbing. It's terrible. It feels like amateur, emotionless actors reading a script for the first time. If you're not watching the original German then you're doing yourself a massive disservice. In the season finale, we will see the sci-fi elements more intensively as the year 2052 is included in time travel. Dark is a series that to be loved with its originality, atmosphere and characters. The pace and jumps between story arcs is excellent. I was hooked from the beginning to end. If you are interested in stories that are mysterious, gloomy, playing with time and perception, If you do not object to the incessant operation of your brain while watching, Dark is for you.
