Dark is a German sci-fi thriller exploring four interconnected families across multiple time periods in the town of Winden. Created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, it features one of television's most complex narratives, involving time travel, parallel worlds, and philosophical questions about fate. The show demands viewer attention but rewards it with a meticulously crafted story. Its atmospheric cinematography and haunting soundtrack create a unique tone. Dark proved non-English language series could handle complex storytelling and find global audiences, predating Squid Game's breakthrough.
