Intelligent, twisting, gripping, well written and well acted. Definitely worth a watch. Netflix gives you options - mine was the original German with English subtitles. That’s my recommendation.

Absolutely fantastic. I will admit that I hesitated at first, but then I thought why not give it a try. Gloomy and eerie, but good at it. The music throughout the series is really well chosen; it fits perfectly well. The writing is also top notch, as is the acting. You can either have it in English sound or in German sound with English subtitles. Honestly I wasn't bothered at all with the English sound, so if that's your thing you will be able to enjoy the series just fine (maybe you'll also be slightly less distracted as opposed to reading subtitles). Personally I chose the German sound, as it felt more natural.

Honestly, give it a try. Might very well be the best series I've watched this year.

EDIT: Binged season 2 in a sitting. Just wow. This review doesn't do it justice. And the casting...I mean, I totally thought [spoiler]old Ulrich was the result of CGI or something.[/spoiler] Season 2 is best thing I've watched this year and last year included (ever?).

A German Lost, but way less interesting.
A writing so poor that they have to explain everything three times. To hold up this nonsense plot they had to make characters so dumb it takes them 5 episodes to get anything.
One more in a long list of Netflix' garbage

Watching the trailer it seemed like a really interesting show. Unfortunately the show itself was not as good in the end. There's too many characters you have to keep track of and you constantly get confused who's who now as people look so alike sometimes. All the scandals, [spoiler]time travel[/spoiler] and so on makes you dizzy. Some parts of the story seem really involving but then they kind of screw up and it's not as amazing anymore. Most annoying was the music… the same "thrilling" sound effect for every single scene… even if it's not even remotely thrilling…

Dark Season 1 & 2: “Things can’t get any more complicated than this”

Dark Season 3: “Hold my beer”

Overly convoluted with characters that are difficult to keep track of and very little by way of payoff at the end of the season.

Just masterpiece fucking happens. Probably the **best Netflix production until now**.

Until season 2 it was ok, but season 3 was way too repetitive and boring.

An incredible series. Every episode leaves you wanting more. It is the kind of show that needs to be watched in silence and 100% focused. Can't wait for season 2, and I still have to more episodes to watch from the first season. Great job. The music choice is excellent.

Extremely good show, just finished re-watching season 1 and I will probably re-watch again soon.
Highly recommended to watch it in original German audio with subtitles. The English-dubbed version is just terrible.

Netflix offers this dubbed in English, but if you don’t mind subtitles stick with German audio, the dubbing hurts the feeling of the show.
