Dark (2017)

Written by J. D. Parent on January 23, 2020

Summary:

In the town of Widen, young boys begin to go missing. Everyone in town has dark secrets they are hiding. The lights flicker, dead birds fall from the sky and there is something unusual in the caves out in the forest. All the weird stuff going on is similar to events that took place back in 1986 and even before that in 1953 in Winden. As both the towns and residents secrets are revealed, the story takes on a truly sinister and disturbing outcome.

Personal opinion:

This show is full of mystery, secrets, suspense and even time travel. It has a Stranger Things vibe to it, but more of an adult version with a time traveling aspect instead of a monster from another dimension. Every episode will have you on the edge of your seat and contains clues to what is to come. A shocking truth is revealed in episode #5 and things only spiral more out of control from there. There are many cheating couples and lots of getting it on, especially in the first season. While I was able to guess the strangers identity before it was revealed, most clues are well hidden and hard to catch unless you rewatch after finishing. The second season ends with a huge cliffhanger that has me anxiously waiting for a season 3. Dark is definitely a binge worthy show worth checking out!
