Binge watched Dark yesterday.
I understant why many people say this is "like Stranger things, but european" or sth along those lines, but in reality ..it's not.
It's more like a scandinavian crime story, with long shots of nature, characters not talking to each other, somber music, rain etc.. with (not really a spoiler) time travel thrown in.
Maybe it's me, I grew up in a town very similar to Winden - roughly 120km from where they filmed it, in a town surrounded by identical forests and with a huge power plant (not nuclear but coal) looming over it.
Anyway, Dark.

It's dark, it's surprising, it's pretty slow paced but man, is it fascinating.
I have some issues with the series but they're minor, generally a strong 8+/10, looking forward to the 2nd season (should be out in december, from what I read).
