About
You’ll like Dark if you enjoy slow-burn mystery and time-travel puzzles that reward close attention and binge watching; Not for you if you want an easy-to-follow plot, or if you can’t keep up with multiple timelines like 1899 or Tales from the Loop.
Pros: mind-bending mystery; beautiful visuals; strong performances | Cons: hard to follow; too many characters; annoying soundtrack
