    Dark, the German sci-fi on Netflix that is super highly rated on a bunch of websites. It is incredible. From production value to writing quality to casting. Just such a good tv show. If you are at all into sci-fi thriller/mysteries, just watch it.

      i absolutely loved that show. i felt that the pacing could be a bit slow at times, and that the show was sometimes a little repetitive, but the plot was so unique and interesting that i didn’t mind very much. and a bit of repetition isn’t the worst thing in the world, especially not when done properly. definitely worth a watch. i haven’t seen a show with such good writing in a while, especially in such a complex setting. and i loved watching the complexity of the setting gradually reveal itself.

      also the plot of the show just inherently lends itself to having a bit of repetition. and i think the repetition helped to build suspense a bit. the ending was also very good in my opinion.
