Netflix series DARK - Taking Sci-Fi Writing to a New Level

AI Thread Summary
DARK is praised for its mind-blowing writing and atmospheric depth, though its heavy tone may not appeal to everyone. The series is best enjoyed with English subtitles rather than the English dub. Seasons 1 and 2 are highly rated, with many viewers expressing ambivalence towards season 3, suggesting it could benefit from more episodes. Overall, the intricate character dynamics can be confusing initially, but the show remains compelling for fans of the genre. Many recommend watching it in the original German audio for the best experience.

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.

I wonder how much stories were written, that involve space fighters, and arent so soft as Star wars. I dont think missiles totally make fighter craft obsolate, for example the former cant escort shuttles if one wants to capture a celestial body. I dont insist fighters have to be manned (i enjoyed Enders game about someone control the events for afar) but i also think it isnt totally unjustifiable.
So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
