My opinions about Dark aren’t even controversial, just dark fanboys getting butthurt over my very light criticism of the show which I fucking GUARANTEE is commonly held views IRL. I even admitted that I myself think Dark is a masterpiece overall. It’s so pathetic to be honest.

Whats the pun

Yeah i was wrong i thought it was just odar and friese Also i got the names from wikipedia which doesnt mention that name you said

Where did you get that name from? It says the writers are

Jantje Friese

Dario Madrona López Gallego

Emma Ko

Jerome Bucchan-Nelson

Juliana Lima Dehne

Emil Nygaard Albertsen

Lol that comment makes no sense. So you take the writers of Dark, and then hire new different writers? The second part of that completely contradicted the first part. And 1899 has the exact same writers

Yeah that was a stupid part of Dark but they do actually explain why in later season

There is no Italian guy. You really can’t tell the Spanish and Italian language apart? They sound so different and the guy speaks in such a spanish way. And yeah the intro music sucks, I made a post about it over on r/1899

That’s enough. You sound so unsympathetic to other viewpoints, everything is so clear cut and dry for you huh? At that point nobody knows who all those characters are and how they’re related. And the quote just pops up for a few seconds and then disappears. At that point, who knows what the creators’ intention is with that quote. Most people aren’t truly digesting what that means at that point

Yeah but if you don’t know the show us about time travel then you might not interpret it literally

Look it up on reddit. r/1899 and other subreddits have info on it

You’re not everyone though. The reddit population is completely unrepresentative of general audiences and real life people

You say all this already knowing that Dark is an international phenomenon. It’s easy to jump to that conclusion then. Also how did you deduce from 1st episode alone that its a loop

Good for you. but you say all this already knowing that Dark is an international phenomenon. It’s easy to jump to that conclusion then. Also how did you deduce from 1st episode alone that its a loop?

This has been debunked, both by the creators of the show and other people online. You think that comic book artist invented black pyramids?

That doesn't even make any sense. Yes, the theme song of 1899 sounds like crap. But it's a completely new cover of White Rabbit made for the show that sounds nothing like the original song both in vibe and in melody.

That intro can be interpreted in so many different ways. There was nothing in the original Netflix trailer or first 2 episodes that exposed the fact there's time travel. It's easy for you to say in hindsight that it's so blatant, but part of the reason it's so well made and impressive is because they set it up well as a creepy, dark and twistedcrime drama first. That's part of why the time travel twist is so well done.

I guarantee that you went into the show already knowing it was about time travel. That's why you're so unsympathetic to my perspective on this.

I'm lucky enough to be one of the few who watched the show thinking it was a crime drama and then was organically met with the mind-blowing revelation that there was time travel.

Probably because you probably already knew the show was about time travel.

Chernobyl's wasn't nearly as dark brutal and unsettling

Are you a troll? I said the show was a masterpiece. I watched it all and appreciated the complex story. You seem to think the show is beyond criticism and anyone who criticizes it is dumb. When in reality it is you who is narrow-minded.

That's completely wrong. You don't find out Dark is about time travel until the end of the 2nd episode. That's my whole point, I just didn't want to spoil that specifically in my post.

Whereas in 1899, you get the feeling almost from the start that there's supernatural elements at play here.

99% of people who go in blind to Dark think it's a crime drama because that's what's it set up to be like.

Strawman.

Dark would be better and more enjoyable if characters actually had some personality and there were some more moments of joy in it. I'm gonna leave it at that.

1899 "picked up" from the start in my opinion. It wastes no time and gets interesting almost immediately.

So? My point is that a joyless show with bad vibes is off-putting for many.

And it's a flaw too imo, there needs to be balance.

Damon Lindelof is a genius. He's underrated

Obviously if you know what the main draw of the show is, then you will be captivated from the start.

But keep in mind that 99% of people who go in blind think that Dark is a crime drama
