'Dark' - Web Series Review

“What if everything that came from the past was influenced by the future.”-H.G. Tannhaus

Dark isn’t just a sci-fi thriller; it’s a show that grapples with deep philosophical questions. The series explores themes of determinism versus free will, the cyclical nature of time, and the impact of trauma across generations. It’s a show that makes you think long after the credits roll.

The first thing is hat's off to the writer, the cinematographer for making a show that has cemented its place as one of the greatest shows of all time, A True Genius Mind.

Visually, Dark is stunning. The show’s cinematography is drenched in moody, atmospheric tones that perfectly capture the eerie, unsettling nature of the story. The use of color, especially the contrast between light and shadow, enhances the show’s themes of duality and hidden truths.

The soundtrack is equally haunting, featuring a mix of original compositions and carefully selected songs that heighten the emotional impact of key scenes. The show’s opening theme, “Goodbye” by Apparat, sets the tone perfectly, with its melancholic melody serving as a prelude to the darkness that follows.

Dark is not a series you watch casually; it’s one that demands your full attention and rewards your patience. It’s a show that excels in storytelling, character development, and thematic depth, offering a viewing experience that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally engaging.

Dark is a masterpiece of modern television, a series that pushes the boundaries of what sci-fi can achieve. It’s a show that stays with you long after you’ve finished watching, inviting you to revisit its labyrinthine story and uncover new layers with each viewing. Whether you’re a fan of time travel, complex narratives, or philosophical musings, Dark offers something for everyone.
