Netflix's Dark

DARK - Everything Is Connected

The first thing is hat's off to the writer, the cinematographer for making a show that has cemented its place as one of the greatest shows of all time, A True Genius Mind.How can one make a show like this, no way.There can be nothing like DARK ever.A true masterpiece of time travel, story telling, stellar cast, stellar acting, stellar music and what else.

How can you make so many connections and then start connecting them from multiple timelines and that to randomly, that's pure genuis, Kudos to Mr.Baran Bo Odar and Ms.Jantje Friese for writing such a beautiful story that would remain in my heart for a very very long time...DARK has truely changed the perception of future upcoming series as they have changed the way of storytelling and movie making...Thanks to the cast and crew of DARK and Netflix for bringing such an amazing show that has left me speechless

This show could adequately be called Deep instead of Dark. It’s about the meaning of life, time, and belief. It’s about our purpose here. All main characters have Biblical names, and the easiest way to predict events in this show is to understand the root Biblical stories of the main characters

But this is not a religious show. In fact, I can’t think of any show that explores the origin of belief, purpose, and life from both a spiritual and scientific angle better than this. There are dueling portals for time travel - both portals have strangely spiritual and scientific roots. There is the “time machine” way, which was developed through a book that was seemingly divinely created. There is the “portal way” which is created from the “God Particle” (aka Higgs boson)

One would expect the authors to clearly differentiate one being more scientific and the other being religious - and they didn’t fall for it

In fact, the whole foundational concept of the show is that nothing is evil or good. Nothing is purely scientific or religious. Death and life aren’t distinct. Past and Future are the same

We learn that all of the “bad guys” - Adam and Noah - are actually good guys who keep messing things up in their pursuit to save the world. All of the “good guys” - aka Jonas and Claudia - are accidentally ruining salvation in their pursuit of saving humanity. Time is the only bad guy….for now at least

We are all living in this dualistic loop. I would imagine that the authors are strongly influenced by this Taoist philosophy

The show is undoubtedly messy. But it’s conceptually brilliant
