Starting to watch as we speak. The intro with music by Soap & Skin sets a nice tone imo. Here is one of my favorite tunes from her:

Looks good so far; they have overdone it a bit with the constant spooky background music though.

Has many of the standard elements of this genre, dead birds, dead flock of sheep, flickering power, missing kids, nuclear power plant, cave, time travel and so on.

enjoyed this show, recommended

and i disagree with the previous post, i think it definitely feels like a unique take on time travel, which is tough to do

This is a pretty conservative use of the spoiler tag, but, just in case,
Spoiler:
it was amazing to me how much most of the actors/actresses of the characters over the different years actually looked alike
.

I really enjoyed the show and am eager to see what happens next season.

Just watched ep 1. Gott im Himmel! They weren't kidding when they called this Dark. Not sure I can take 10 eps of this. The time thing does look interesting though, not so much the nuclear power angle. I'll give it at least to ep 3.

About 3/4 of the way through and really digging it. Very original and well done. Can't wait to finish.

I enjoyed the show very much.

Spoiler:
The time travel concept was well done imo and they did a good job with the actors portraying different timelines. I also enjoyed the mood and even though there's very little "monsters jumping out of nowhere" types of scenes, the series kept me on edge most of the time.

The part I'm not crazy about is that introducing two additional timelines towards the end seemed like it added too much extra confusion to an already confusing show.
I'm not very excited about the future scenario, but let's see where they go with it in season 2.

Loved it, going to have to rewatch. Lots of stuff I'm sure I missed.

FYI I've heard the dubbing is brutal. I don't understand why people have such an issue with subtitles. This is not the type of show you can just have on in the background btw. You really need to pay attention.

I switched immediately to German with subtitles, took like 30 seconds to say "F this" to the awful dubbing. Was much better after that.

Started watching this, wish someone wouldn't have spoiled what it was about in another thread.

Reminds me a bit of Les Revenants

Through 3 eps, and can't wait to binge through the rest.

The show is a giant mind****. �� Enjoyed it, tho as the further it got along seems to be descending into madness.

Definitely great soundtrack

Binged this in 2 days, great show. Made it 10 minutes with English dub before I had to switch to the German and use subtitles. Dubs are basically almost never a good way to watch. The dub misses a lot of the emotion and tone behind the characters.

Agree with the reveal at the end of Episode 5 being crazy. I did not see that coming at all. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Season 2 but I have some fears it might be awful.

The hardest part for me was keeping track of all of the characters

Yeah, certainly needs a rewatch before s2. But thats prob not this year anymore, so time enough. Im guessing this show isnt popular here because of the need for subtitles that americans dont like?

Best new show of 2018 imo
