This show could fit into three hour movie and be average.You have to constantly fast forward for 10 seconds to skip boring scenes of walking toward something that in most cases is disappointing.Cudos to producers for stretching it.Music is awesome.

This show is not Stranger Things. It's better! Really, the comparison stops there because the only thing in common is that they are two well-done Netflix sci-fi shows--one, ala The Goonies, the other The Sixth Sense/Stir of Echoes--so if you're looking for something more grownup, you've found it. I can't wait for season two and there's plenty room for growth in Dark.

This show fits well into the wave of skaninoir series out there, but at the same time is well separated from them by it's - for lack of a better expression - germanness.I am baffled that some people would seek parallels to a show such as Stranger Things. These two shows have nothing to do with each other. Maybe because also Stranger Things is a tale of adventure in the face of the overwhelming industrial behemoth that rips our reality apart. But other than that, Dark's strong point and fokus is really the bitterness of the human condition, particularly in a small town. It shows wonderfully, how grudges are carried over generations and how nothing that we ever do is ever a standalone action.Some of the bad reviews call out the amateurish acting. I suggest turning off the translation and listening to the original with subtitles. Also, here is a fenomenon that I have been very happy to notice over the last few years: as more and more series are shown in their original format, we realise just how much we have become used to the anglo-saxon stereotype of acting. Other culture, countries have different ways of expressing and acting and that is just a wonderful thing that our times have brought us (I think of the original "Humans", in contrast to the much inferior english version; I am also thinking of the superb "Suburra", so rich in its italian subtleties). Well done overall. Loved it.

Started watching this because of its rating. The disappointment started with Episode 1 and did not go away until the end of the last episode. The series is full of stereotypes, while it seems to drawn in its own -unnecessary- complexity. The attempt to support the script with narrated -junk- philosophy fails big time and after a certain point gets annoying. Another big failure is the musical score which is used as a mean to enforce to the viewer fear; instead, it gets annoying. One of the worst series i have watched. Not the worst, as Black Mirror is the worst by far. Don't waste time on this.
