"Dark" is a German Netflix original series that talks about time travel. It's divided into 3 seasons and it's currently closed.
2019. In the small city of Winden disappear two children. The following researches reveal mysteries and secrets about four families: the Kahnwald, the Nielsen, the Doppler, and the Tiedemann. Moreover, during the researches happen some strange events like the falling of copious birds and strong and strange electric pulses that blow the electricity all over the city. Most of the older inhabitants remember that the same events also happened 33 years before when disappeared another child of the Nielsen family.
The first season is articulated on three timelines, each one distant 33 years: 2019, 1986, 1953. I found it slower than the others, but the reason is simple: there is a high quantity of information.
The second season space out between the year 1921 and the year 2052. It's slow, but like the first, it's still full of information that finally seems to lead somewhere.
At last, the third season comes back in time until the year 1888. Into the second to last episode were included a tracking shot of other years that let us set the last pieces of the story. I found this last season very quick and sometimes a bit overwhelming, but still great!
The end is beautiful, surprising, and that I've never imagined because, like the protagonists, I thought that all the events would start from a point but they started before instead.
The entire series is based on the auto-consistency principle that says, essentially, that the past is immutable and so anyone would come back to change it, will be led to get it done again (see "Novikov self-consistency principle").
Have you seen the series? What do you think about it? Would you like time-traveling? Let me know in the comments.
See you soon
