One of my favorite pandemic binge watches has been Dark, the German language original Netflix show. Having caught up with the first two seasons, I was eager to watch the new third season that just began streaming last month.
Admittedly, this last season started off a bit of a mess. As if it weren't hard enough to keep track of dozen of characters throughout three different time periods, they added a mirror world, with mirror time periods, oh, why not throw in like six or seven other time periods. To say it makes your brain hurt is an understatement. To say you spend the first five or so episodes scrambling to keep up, is also an understatement.
However, when it all came to a close, it became clear that all of that confusion was necessary in order to wrap up the complicated story in a way that felt conclusive and stratifying. Easily one of the best sci-fi stories involving time travel that has ever been made.
