The main praise for this series is that it was very well thought out. It’s not uncommon to see mystery series where it feels like they keep creating new elements and answers with each episode, ending up making the whole plot messy. In the case of Dark, it feels like it was already planned for these three seasons and that, from the very beginning, the writers already knew how it would end, which prevents the story from leaving loose ends.
It’s not really my type of series. If it were, I would probably give it five stars, precisely because of how carefully crafted the script is. But I admit that it didn’t always make me curious to know what would happen next, nor did the twists always surprise me.
It also wasn’t always clear to me what motivated all the characters and, because of that, for someone like me who enjoys series that deeply explore the human side of the characters, it doesn’t deserve a higher rating.
