I tried looking for a thread on Dark but could not find one.

I just finished the series and WOW!! One of the best shows I have ever watched. If you are looking for a new series to watch, I cannot recommend this show enough. It is a German series currently streaming on Netflix. You can watch with English audio and subtitles, which may be weird for some, but it is so worth the watch. It is only three seasons long (10, 8, and 8 episodes in each season) with each episode about an hour long. It is not a show you can just mindlessly watch as you really have to pay attention as details will come back full circle.

Without giving too much away, the series revolves around four families and how they are all connected after a boy disappears from their small German town. A second kid disappears soon after throwing the small town for a loop. This science fiction show then takes several twists and turns that consistently had me audibly saying "What?!?" There are helpful Reddit threads for each episode where the moderators and contributors have done a good job of keeping the discussion to that specific episode and the ones before to avoid spoilers. It was helpful as you went along to keep the family trees straight in your head.

My all time favorite show is Breaking Bad and this show has probably cracked my top 5.
You're Welcome in advance.

Ah thank you!! Why didn't my search of TexAgs turn anything up?

Is 1899 as good?!

The entire Dark series was pretty amazing.

1899 was just meh. They decided to not do a Season 2, as far as Netflix is concerned.

Dark and Chernobyl are my two favorites that I have streamed in the last ten years

I could have watched 4-5 more episodes of Chernobyl if they had extended that series

I wouldn't watch 1899 unless something changes that allows them to make another season.

Outstanding show. Have always scratched my head when hearing people say they hated it.

It gets a bit crazy in the last season (as in it gets even more difficult to follow with all the layers introduced), so I was getting a bit frustrated with it at that point, but this was one of the best wrap up everything endings I've seen in a series. Really well done.

I didn't hate it, and the sci-fi aspect was well thought out and portrayed, but most of the main characters were pretty unlikeable to me after we spent some time with them.

Dark is good but gets a little too convoluted in the final season. Martha in a bikini is the highlight of the show.

I thought it was average. Every time old bald Noah started talking in one of his riddles they got more cringe every time.

German audio with subtitles is the way IMO. This website is handy as well for anyone watching:

I don't have a clue how anyone watches live action in anything other than the original language. The words and mouth movements not matching up drives me insane. Obviously it doesn't bother some people as much as it does me and I'm kind of jealous. My previous soundbar had issues with the audio not syncing properly with video depending on what input it was coming from and so now I have a different soundbar.

Filming completed and they cancelled it. That seems like a strange decision. If it tanks on your platform who cares as long as some people like it.

Maybe I'm underestimating post production costs.

Agree, seems weird to get that far.

Not on this board.

I hope the find a better company to partner with. They're obviously very talented and Netflix isn't going to give them much rope apparently.

All the crap Netflix puts out and they won't take a risk on this?!

That appears to be the bleak truth.

I got bored during 1899 but Dark sucked me in and I couldn't stop.

Season 1 of Dark is definitely a top top show. Season 2 & 3, while still quite good, were a definite level or two lower than 1 IMHO.
