About Dark (TV series) in brief
Dark is a German science fiction thriller streaming television series co-created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese. It ran for three seasons from 2017 to 2020. In the aftermath of a child’s disappearance, Dark follows characters from the fictional German town of Winden as they pursue the truth. They follow connections between four estranged families to unravel a sinister time travel conspiracy which spans several generations. The first season begins in 2019, but later grows to include 1986 and 1953 via time travel, when members of the show’s central families become aware of a wormhole in the cave system beneath the local nuclear power plant. The second season takes place several months after the first, depicting the initial stories in 2020, 1987, and 1954, while continuing the future-set storyline into 2053, and adding a fifth storyline, set in 1921. The third and final season follows the four families across time in the wake of the apocalypse in 2020. It introduces a storyline based in 1888 and a parallel reality featuring alternate versions of many main characters. Dark debuted on 1 December 2017 on Netflix; it is the service’s first German-language original series. It received critical acclaim, with praise for its tone, visuals, acting, casting, musical score, and the ambition and complexity of its narrative. The series explores the existential implications of time, and its effect on human nature. The season counts down towards the apocalypse, as the factions further their own desires for each world.
The final season is released on 27 June 2020, with additional story-lines set in 2053 and 1921. It is the first German series to be available on Netflix, as well as other streaming services such as Amazon, Hulu, and HBO, and is available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, with subtitles in German and English. The show was released on Netflix in December 2017, with a total of three seasons. It has been described as a “horror-thriller” with a focus on the dark pasts of four families living in Winden. The conspiracy involves the missing children and the history of the town and its citizens, and unfurling a mystery that spans four generations. In 1986, four weeks after the disappearance of Mads Nielsen, a desperate Mikkel is taken in by police officer Egon Tiedemann, who suspects he has been beaten by the teenage Ulrich. Meanwhile, a teenage Charlotte starts investigating the deaths of multiple birds, while shy young Hannah has an unrequited crush on Ulrich, and Regina is being bullied and engages in self-harm. A flock of sheep is found dead from cardiac arrest with their eardrums ruptured, and, in an undisclosed location, a man surrounded by clocks tinkers with a brass machine. In 1953, birds begin to die and the unidentified bodies of Erik and Yasin Yasin are discovered in a bunker behind the cabin of the chief of police. After having had sex, Hannah tells the police that she saw Ulrich rape Katharina, and Ulrich is arrested.
