Dark (2017)

Dark is a slow-burning, atmospheric crime-drama-mystery set in the small German town of Winden. The series begins when two children vanish, and that single event peels back the ordinary façades of four intertwined families, revealing secrets, lies and fractures that reach into the town’s past. Over ten hour-long episodes, the show unfolds a chilling, supernatural-tinged puzzle that loops back to 1986 and continually complicates what you think you know. If you watch Dark you’ll experience a dense, moody thriller: brooding cinematography, a haunting score, and tense performances that make the town itself feel like a character. The storytelling is intricate and patient — revelations arrive like pieces of a jigsaw, so the series rewards careful attention and emotional investment. Expect moral ambiguity, layered family drama, and mind-bending connections that shift your understanding of cause and effect. Dark is best for viewers who enjoy cerebral mysteries, time-twisting plots, and an unsettling, immersive tone. It’s less about jump scares and more about atmosphere, puzzle-solving, and the slow unspooling of long-buried truths.
