Dark (TV Series 2017–2020)

I watched Dark quite a while ago, and ever since then, I’ve always thought of writing about it. But somehow, I could never find the right words. It’s one of those shows that stays with you long after it ends, sitting quietly at the back of your mind. Today, I finally tried.

Dark isn’t just a story about time travel. It’s a story about people about love, loss, choices, and the never ending desire to fix what once went wrong. Every character felt so painfully human, so real in their desperation to change fate, even when it was clear that they couldn’t escape it.

The world of Winden was like a mirror messy, haunting, and cyclical. There were moments I had to pause and just sit in silence. The show doesn’t just tell you a story, it pulls you into its weight, its music that lingers even after the scene ends.

If I’m honest, the ending left me a bit unsatisfied. After everything so big, so complex, so beautifully layered, I expected something that would leave me completely undone. But then again, I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to write an ending for something so larger than life. Maybe there really wasn’t a perfect way to close that loop.

Even with that, Dark remains one of those rare series that change the way you see stories and maybe even the way you see life. Because it reminds you that everything is connected, and sometimes, the only way forward is to let go.
