With Dark, it has a series that’s both hard to watch, and impossible to stop watching. Netflix is so often looking for bingeable, c’mon-just-one-more-episode entertainment. Like so much of Dark, it’s a dark and dreary message, presented with an artfulness that becomes beautiful - and inevitably, addictive. It’s about what links past and present, and how easily people drop the promise and premises of youth and become old and tired. Suddenly, it’s not a series about dead birds and dead children, and the question of what links them. In this moment, there’s an aching sense of beauty and loneliness to Dark that places it far above the usual procedural mystery or supernatural horror story. And by the end of the third episode, when bo Odar and Friese take time to visually compare the modern-day Winden residents with their younger selves, the series has gone in a lyrical, longing direction that feels miles away from Fincher or Lynch. If you want to turn on dark mode for all the websites you visit, you can. It is aiming to be the power user’s preferred browser and comes with quite a lot handy features.

And a mysterious hooded figure, looking at a newspaper clip reading “Where is Mikkel?”, crosses out the first word and rewrites the headline as “When is Mikkel?”Īt least their uncertainty is set in a beautifully rendered world.
Some of the town’s older residents, including Mikkel’s grandmother, mutter about how the new disappearances recall older ones from when they were younger. But the disappearances coincide with weird phenomena: animals dropping dead, lights wildly flickering and flashing. While they’re out there, Ulrich’s youngest, Mikkel (Daan Lennard Liebrenz) also disappears, leading the police to wonder whether someone is targeting local youths. Her shell-shocked son, Jonas (Louis Hofmann), is part of a pack of rangy pack-animal teenagers who venture into the woods outside their small German hometown of Winden, hunting the drug stash of a classmate who recently disappeared. Dark is an ensemble series, but it starts with Ulrich Nielsen (Oliver Masucci), a police officer and father of three who’s cheating on his wife with a woman whose husband commits suicide in the show’s earliest moments.
