Honestly, the story seemed like a jumbled mess of imagery and random plots that didn't mesh together into a cohesive story.

When the authors try to convey some idea, all their characters start talking about it, which looks strange.

In some scenes, it was clear from the first seconds what all this meant because "the message" was woven into the plot, and from the first words, it was obvious how the scene would end.

When you remove the music from a very simple scene, it becomes an empty, boring production. It's just a collection of clichés and boring characters.

Bad script. Slow and boring. Cold characters. Nothing like Dark. Woke.… Expand

I really like mystery, thrillers and horror films. But this one is just a neverending mess. Boring as it is senseless.

Another example of bad writing and sloppy mysteries. Throw a bunch of puzzle pieces but never bother to actually check if they fit. This is a great example which follows the Lost/OA/Dark dogma.

This is a great example which follows the Lost/OA/Dark dogma. Eventually end up closing the whole series with nonsensical elements that sound cool and look cool, but once thoroughly checked, fail to connect the dots and provide a satisfying resolution and well-thought storyline. Skip it, or hate watch it, but don't for once think you will be satisfied with how this series will eventually one day end. Each season will just throw it further into the Lost abyss.… Expand

This reminds me of Lost, but the dialogue is worse (you will understand why as soon as you watch it). This prevents the characters really bonding with each other and therefore leaves you feeling a bit detached from them. I watched it rightThis reminds me of Lost, but the dialogue is worse (you will understand why as soon as you watch it). This prevents the characters really bonding with each other and therefore leaves you feeling a bit detached from them. I watched it right through to the end. The overall premise had potential, but they made a royal mess of it. The pace and plot kept stuttering, and they never quite found their footing. As a result, it's boring, filled with drivel, but is remarkable as an insomnia cure (true story; I fell asleep on three different episodes). Give this one a miss, it pales in comparison with Dark (heh).… Expand

If you enjoy being teased with one "mystery box" after another only to experience a completely underwhelming season climax that explains absolutely nothing and really does nothing apart from forcing you to watch another season -- still not greenlit at time of writing by Netflix by the way -- and adding a new gigantic mystery box that all the other boxes fit in, then this show is for you. If this makes you feel like you wasted several hours on a story that gave you nothing apart from feeling infantilized, annoyed and duped, then this show is not for you.

If I had to say something forgiving about this series, there are a lot of great performances, and the special effects are good, but in terms of writing and pacing this whole season is a train wreck.

Netflix, please stop this madness before we end up with six seasons and a movie.… Expand

I really didn't enjoy this at all.

The story is not what you thought it was going to be. Lots of really dumb mystery stuff added in which may seem interesting but comes out to nothing in the end.

Felt like a massive waste of time.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, show is extremely boring. I could barely find enough strength to finish all 8 episodes. After 3rd episode most of the time they are crawling through the "rabbit holes" and it was so booooring. We saw it ones, we saw it few times but for love of the god stop! At one point it reminded me to Nakatomi Plaza and I was waiting for the characters to start say: "'Come out the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs...'" So Mr. Baran bo Odar why did you put in your show gay couple? What is thier porpose in this show? Representation? Diversity? How did they affect story? Are you flowing Netflixs orders? Strong female lead character? Well that is prescription for disaster...… Expand

The guy with the dark, soy sauce colored hair is particularly hard to love.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starts out atmospheric and intriguing, then does the usual Mystery Box Storytelling trick of gradually unpacking into utterly meaningless nonsense that doesn't at all fit with anything anyone does if you watch the series again from episode 1 Basically 7 hours of people wandering around going "ooh this is all very mysterious," then a single hour of "lol none of this mattered in the slightest and you're an idiot for expecting any kind of payoff" Why was anyone but Maura on the ship? (Lol who cares, says the show)

What was the point of everyone's traumatic memory and excruciatingly drawn out backstory?
(Lol who cares, says the show)

Why was The Boy acting like a Horror Movie Weird Kid for so long despite there being no in-story reason for it ("they're listening" doesn't explain why a child should act so deliberately expressionless and creepy when the child knows what's going on from the off, knows he's being observed at all times, and could have handled his role in the story in countless other ways?
(Lol who cares, look at how many horror tropes we can sellotape onto this creepy weird kid for 6 hours! says the show)

I'm finding it hard to justify this show as anything more than a giant waste of time, and the sudden pivot 'twist ending' is such a pathetically cheap rug-pull that seems to be there purely as bait for getting a second season greenlit Safe to say I'm not interested in coming back… Expand
