Critic Reviews for Dark Season 1
All Critics (45) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (5)
The time travel conceit does more than give us a window into how these families have evolved over many decades - it's brings a whole new meaning to "things are not quite what they seem here."
Even if some of the "You may like this..." seams still show in the making of Dark, its biggest selling point is as a story about a community haunted by something it refuses to talk about.
Dark feels like a version of Lost folded in on itself, in which the action on the magical, spacetime-traveling Island and the secret-revealing, surprise-laden, character-driven backstory flashbacks all occur simultaneously.
But Dark, while being a good series, and having some truly intriguing aspects, doesn't have enough of an emotional hook to make it a truly standout show.
Yes, it's tough to keep track of who, what and when but this is a seriously exciting series with twists and reveals to send you into a whirl.
The beginning of 'Dark' is very worth watching, both for the excellent atmosphere achieved and for the ideas it plays with. [Full Review in Spanish]
Having Stranger Things withdrawals? Tune in to the eerie supernatural German Netflix show that will make you think twice about stepping into caves.
With Dark, Netflix related a complex world of time travel with the intricate symbolism of alchemy and the foundational principles of greek tragedy. [Full review in Spanish]
This could be because it's very complicated, following three different time lines involving multiple characters at different ages, but take it from us, there are serious rewards for the patient.
Dark is a masterfully filmed series that slowly and grippingly explores the labyrinth of secrets in a deeply troubled town.
Its historical vision is distinctive, a past and present filled with angst and cynicism triggered by unsolved disappearances and public corruption.
The Netflix series plays with temporary trips and their paradoxes to effectively tell the mysteries and secrets of a small town. [Full Review in Spanish]

May 22, 2021Dark is something special. The directors created once in a lifetime experience that makes me want to erase my mind so i can experience it for the first time again. This entire show is crafted into perfection with a story that shouldn't be explained, just experienced. The amazing cinematography created a distinct feel for every era that the show explored and the performance from every cast member gives more depth to the already deep and intertwined story. Truly something that cannot be described.

May 06, 2021Season 1 is the perfect foundation to build on for this show. The atmosphere and theming are incredible to observe as you watch along. There are details in everything. I'm blown away by the thought put into it. The acting from everyone is amazing and the casting is spot on for all the characters.

Apr 21, 2021At first, you don't really know where it's going, but when you discover where it goes you can't do anything, but going in the same direction. It is so good! The first season is less good than the two last ones, so imagine the two last...For sure, some thinks it's too complicated, but once you understand you're like WOW! It takes some heck of writers to imagine a perfect scenario like this one. The cinematography is excellent, the music too and the actors are terribly excellent . Why I haven't put 5 stars? Because it is not the best season, that's all.

Mar 23, 2021Absolutely amazing, no, really. The acting, amazing. The cinematography, amazing. The plot, amazing. The soundtrack, super amazing. The casting, supreme (you'll get what I mean if you watch it). Was it a slow burn, yeah, was it immensely complicated, yeah, but man was it worth it. If you couldn't tell already, I love this show, Every moment felt intentional and deliberate, no instance went to waste. I've purposely shied from sharing anything of the story because you need to experience it yourself, just watch it and tell me I'm wrong. 100/100

Mar 22, 2021Beautifully devastating. This series is full of conspiracy, death, love, philosophy, and grief. It was impossible to look away, even if the content was "hard to watch". The characters in this series have stuck with me. Emotionally compelling story about defying fate and time.
