A few things before you dig into this one:
Dark is in German so you’ll either have to deal with the English dubbed version or English subtitles. As always, I recommend you watch the original language version with subtitles. I’m dyslexic. Sometimes I still need to read slowly and I managed just fine. If I can do it, you can do it. However, if you don’t speak German and don’t often watch German TV and / or movies, it’s going to take a while to adjust to the language change. Don’t be impatient. It will take a second, but once your brain gets familiar with it, the sounds will begin to fall into place. Trust me. Actually, no. Trust your brain.
You’re probably not going to be able to multitask while watching this. Dark takes place in several different timelines. You jump around a lot throughout. This isn’t the kind of show you can “watch” while you scroll through your phone. No sir, you’re going to have to fully focus your attention to understand what the hell is going on at any given time.
Stick with it. This is one of my favorite time travel series ever and there are quite a few floating around the streaming services right now. Dark is head and shoulders above the rest and well worth the extra effort.
Jumping around from era to era and figuring out which character is which in the different timelines is involved but still lots of fun. Everyone’s story is so salacious, intriguing or shocking that it’s exciting to sort through their respective details. Plus, that moody German vibe was fun to hang out in for a while. If time travel is interesting to you then this will be too.
