Finally finished watching Dark. The show was good but not great. It’s been compared to stranger Things but it’s not really a good comparison. Both have sci-fi elements but that’s about it. This show is about a time rift and it is interesting. The world is dark and on the cruel side with how people treat each other. Most characters are a form of grey. Some are jerks.

I think my biggest beef with the show is that you never really care about any of the characters. They are interesting but the show is about the story and they take a backseat. In stranger things you love the kids. Not so here. Also, it is a larger cast and keeping track of who is who gets tricky unless you binge watch. It’s also a German original and so the voices are dubbed and they did a poor job of providing variety among the voices. Too many people sound too similar.

Overall it’s a solid show I would give an 8/10. No higher.
