    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was another great season of Dark and it firmly cements it as one of the best shows ever. The plot is so tightly constructed and it may now be my favourite time travel media ever (books, TV and movies). The acting is phenomenal and this is not mean feat considering that many of the characters need to look like each other. The editing and cinematography continues to be fantastic, and I especially love how the editing is used to keep both worlds and timelines clear as this could have easily been super confusing.

    This season scores slightly lower than its previous two (both 10s) as I have two minor gripes. Firstly, I really started to get sick of the montages to music at the end - I realise it may be a stylistic choice but I felt like it became a crutch to demonstrate certain events. Secondly, whilst the ending is very good with no obvious plot holes (something which is extremely tricky in a show like this) it did feel kind of like a Deus Ex Machina as, prior to this season, there was literally no way to know that Tannhaus created the world - I assume this was planned from the beginning due to the triquetra but, if it was, there was very little obvious foreshadowing to this. The fact that this is even a gripe though demonstrates just how good this show was at foreshadowing prior to this plot point.

    Overall, Dark is a fantastic show and it is destined to become a cult classic - deservably so imo.

    Fantastic series. Time travel and tense thriller through and through. Series planned out and written perfectly. And keeps asking questions and insight into life, fate, desire, actions, past, future, and the meaning of our actions.

    Dark is a German language science fiction thriller.

    The story is complex and requires complete attention of the viewer in order to follow the plot.

    After seasons 1 & 2, I was sure this was a new favourite for me, but after season 3, something just felt off. I have no idea what it is, but this season just didn't have as big an impact on me as the other seasons. A great season, but the weakest in my opinion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The third (and last season) is better than the first season, but it has decayed in some ways that were better used in the second season. An example of this is the way in which this new year treats its characters, they are all "discarded" in a very quick way (there are exceptions), which made me feel a bitter taste in my mouth and I missed them a lot in the last episode.… Expand

    It is downright confusing, slow burning and tricky for the most part but is transformed into an amazing piece of story telling through excellent character writing, perfect casting and believable performances. There is never a time when a character decision or character action would be doubted or confusing to you no matter how negative or positive.
    All of which add up to a thoroughly satisfying and complete watch.

    It is surprising how this was touted as another 'Stranger Things' type show when it first released, yet 3 seasons later in comparison to 'ST/S03' Dark delivers so much more along with being a completed story instead of dragging on until the story and characters go into trash territory.    … Expand

Viewing it in the native German with English subtitles (which I strongly recommend), I was captivated by a story that lifted this show up into the stratosphere of Breaking Bad, The Americans, The Expanse, and only a handful of other series I have ever watched. Dark expertly examines not simply time travel but the whole nature of spacetime and quantum mechanics that I have read about in books. Does free will exist, or is it just a myth as we plod along the same path to our ultimate fate no matter what we try and do to change it? This is the question Dark explores. It then weaves these theories into the lives of four families across multiple generations and even alternate realities, and just when you think this show has bit off more than it can chew and is heading down the road traveled by "Lost", it perfectly connects all the dots and explains all. But even that alone isn't what propels Dark into "Greatest Ever" territory, it is the unbelievable heart it displays as it explores all of these characters through different points in their lives, understanding their strengths and weaknesses, their flaws and imperfections, their motivations and desires. You care about these people and what happens to them. You root not only for their happiness, but their very existence. I don't give 10/10 lightly, but Dark is just that, certainly one of the greatest series I have ever watched, and possibly the best.… Expand

    Dark is one of the best TV shows in which all seasons do not sink through the dynamics and the peak takes place in the last season.

    It's a 10. Breaking Bad tier show for me. The show got crazier from S1 to series end, but that's perfectly in line with the series itself. The pieces fit, and Dark sticks it's landing.

    Fino a qualche settimana fa non avevo idea di cosa fosse Dark. Dopo aver visto una promettente prima stagione mi sono ritrovato fra le mani una serie TV eccezionale, la migliore prodotto e presente su Netflix. In 3 stagione è riuscita a presentare diverse narrazioni che si intrecciano tra di loro e concluderle tutte. Fantastica.

    The season-three set pieces are gorgeous, as the German show remains fantastic on a technical level. The camerawork goes from feeling hectic and nervy to slow, steady, and measured several times throughout each episode. It’s disorienting, just like the layered narrative it’s depicting. Hoffman’s performance continues to be top-tier, especially from a young actor. ... One of the most mind-melting shows on television, and possibly the most unique Netflix original, “Dark” finishes its run with peak writing, shocking conclusions, and a bittersweet sense of finality.

    Dark is distilled to its essence, which is a mix of epic philosophical arguments and sad vignettes about loss and betrayal, all wrapped up in anything-goes sci-fi and gorgeous production design that delivers ice-cool ideas and imagery.

    Even with all that uncertainty, “Dark” has maintained that highwire act for three of the most thrilling sci-fi TV seasons ever made. To see it make it across the chasm with its ambitions and technique intact is certainly something worth remembering.
