Hi.

Any fans of DARK here?

This show was mind blowing. The feel of the show may be to heavy for some, especially in the beginning. So it may not be your style. But if you like that atmosphere, the series is truly amazing. The writing is on a whole new level. If you haven't watched it, I strongly recommend it.

Oh, and it's best to watch it with the english subtitles because the english dub is not good.

I loved seasons 1 and 2, and I am ambivalent about season 3.

I really liked that they treated time travel "correctly," in that there is a single time line and that going back to the past doesn't change the future since it already happened.

I watched it with the original German audio and English subtitles. I also recommend it. I really liked the atmosphere of the series, but all the different characters can be confusing in the beginning.

I really liked S3. But S1 and S2 are better. S3 would benefit from 10 episodes instead of 8. I would rate S1 9.5/10, S2 10/10, and S3 9/10.
