Recently, I have found out about this latest
german production which has achived an enormous number of spectactors in a
really short time. The production of the series Dark started in 2017, so far
consists one season where we can find ten very absorbing episodes. The series
was created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese. What is more, is is the first
german Netflix original series.
I must admit that the Dark’s plot is very
intriguing and addictive what makes the
viewer is not able to stop watching it. I am conscious that someone can call me
a freak, but yes, I watched the first season in two days, so ten episodes in
almost two days. Honestly, I got into the series so much, that after one
episodes I played another because I was so curious what is going to happen
next, how the plot is going to develop. I could not wait for the next day, I
had to find out at that moment. I guess, someone who had such a situation knows
exactly what is like and understand me
perfectly J
Well, so what is the Dark series about? Is hard
to explain it one sentence, because there are many smaller and bigger stories
which link up each other somehow. The past, present and the future interchange all
the time making the viewer confused. We cannot talk about one main protagonist
for the reason that there are many irreplaceable characters without whom the
whole story would not make sense. In the series we can mark out a few families:
Kahnwald family, Nielsen family, Doppler and Tiedemann family. All those
familes come from the same town called Winden and are connected to each other.
The plot begins from the suicide of Jonash’s father, a boy who tries to deal
with the father’s death and figure out why he did it without saying even
goodbye. From the beginning to the end the series is covered with mysteries and
secrets which all of them are keeping deep in their minds and hearts. All of
those secrets are eating at them slowly. The incident which makes worst their
situation is the mysterious disappearance of Mikel, a police officer’s son. All
people who are involved in looking for the boy, are conscious that a cave into
the forest has something in common with it.
The fact is that during the whole series, the
viewer is not sure a hundred percent what is going on. It is because of many
secrets and lies which are present at every step. What can I say more, for sure
The Dark series is worth watching and I assure you that you will not lose your
time.
