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.

Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
