Dark - Season 2

The second season of Dark has not fundamentally convinced me that it is a particularly great television series. However, I must admit it will probably excite science fiction fans even though I found it perhaps too overwrought, too overcomplicated. I was also disappointed in the lack of atmosphere despite the great soundtrack. Oh, and I am not going to lie, time travel and causality are not exactly something I want to watch. (01/03/2020)

I must admit that I'm gradually falling in love with this perfectly executed concept of various time loops. Sure... I expected to get more answers to previous questions in the second season, but Dark is one of the few cinematic works where this flaw doesn’t really bother me in the end. Let me explain why. Dark relies so heavily on the precise performances of all the involved characters and a breathtaking atmosphere that engulfs you and never lets go. So, even with these aspects, I can forgive the fact that sometimes every advance in the story and every action of the main characters isn't fully explained... Moreover, I have to commend the series for the audiovisual side of things. Nothing that Dark throws at you throughout its runtime feels cheap; you can see the money and, more importantly, the talent of the team that gave the series its now indispensable face. I enjoyed the twists because they didn’t feel superficial; most of the time, I could only react with amazement because they almost always shook up the already running plot. And the final episode capped it all off; such a plot twist delivered in one sentence raised my anticipation for the third season very high. Hopefully, it won’t be delayed, and we’ll see it in June of this year. The Germans simply outdo themselves. For me, the second season gets 88%. (04/10/2020)
