When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids. The mystery-drama series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town's troubled history -- whether they know it or not. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986. "Dark" represents the first German original series produced for Netflix.

I will not say "Dark" was over-hyped; until the last four episodes of the second season or so, I was entranced by "Dark's" imagination. Go to Full Review
Emily St. James Vox 09/06/2019
Dark takes this quintessential time travel paradox and cubes it, adding so many paradoxes and logic wrinkles that keeping track of them all can give you a headache. But there's something entertaining about the intellectual rigor all the same. Go to Full Review

"Dark," the German time-travel thriller, is often compared to the Duffer Brothers' nostalgia trip. But in its second season, its ambitions are closer to "The Wire." Go to Full Review
Mark Serrels CNET 03/28/2023
Dark is a mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, it is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. Go to Full Review

What an amazing piece of work! The best sci-fi series of the 21st century. Everything is too good to be true. Go to Full Review
Abby Robinson Digital Spy 11/19/2019
It takes the traditional beginning, middle and end story structure and tears it apart to build something brilliant and entirely unpredictable... But if you thought season one was a wild ride, the second chapter went to places even we weren't prepared for. Go to Full Review

Deep S. @DeepShytt 6d Masterpiece! In word masterpiece. Nothing could ever beat this one. See more Adiyakhuu N @RT31808176 May 24 it got even better than season 1. See more Robert M @DK-Orion Mar 15 Superb. Best time travel story ever. I love the story, casting, production and intrigue. The show just pulls me in and keeps getting better. See more TAYLOR F. @taterfan Mar 2 Somehow better than season 1 See more Joe G. @Review_Joe Jan 31 I didn't think season 2 could top season 1, but it blew me away! I constantly question who's who only for a big reveal in one episode that totally shocks you. Reveal after reveal, I could not believe how nicely everything flows. I thought time travel would make the show too confusing. They know exactly how to stretch the limits without losing the audience. Can't wait to watch the final season! See more K. E @SysComp Jan 24 Masterpiece and perfect continuation of the very strong first season. See more Read all reviews
