,,Once there was a world, that never should have been. It partnered with its sister self, ended all anguish for both, And its memory... Stayed a dream" Dark is the most intriquate and unique story I have ever had the pleasure to experience. How did Jantje and Bo come up with this? I have no clue. Dark has been a major inspiration for me, creatively. The way it tells its story, and uses its characters to tell a grand story about battling depression, family trauma, the search for religion and the cruelty of the world... There's something for everyone to enjoy if you are in the right mindset. It's depressing, but also melancholic in the right way. It also manages to be fun, despite having no action, and mostly relying on dialogue. This rewatch made me appreciate the story more, how it was crafted, and the characters journeys. I don't think I can present my love for this show with words. I just have this deep love and admiration for it. It's perfect in my eyes, despite being heavily flawed. It has made me think a lot about time travel, and how it can be used in stories. Every character here is gray. There are no black or white characters. Everyone makes bad decisions for their own reasons. Consider Ulrich beating a child nearly to death, to stop it from becoming a murderer in the future, just to be locked up in an insane asylum for 33 years until he kills himself from loneliness. It's heavy. Jonas Kahnwald is my favourite character of all time. Someone so relatable. That goes through so much. You like Jonas, because he is just a victim of this loop of suffering. I feel so bad for him. Being cast into this world like that. There are more amazing characters, like Noah and Claudia of course. The ending is perfect. Read my S3E8 review for that, because I already wrote what i wanted to say there. I'll miss Winden. I'll miss it's residents. I'll miss the atmosphere and mysteries. I'll miss the melancholy of Ben Frost's soundtrack. I guess all that's left in me is this emptiness, but also satisfaction. This series is as good as I remember. SEASONS RANKED: 3. Season 3 2.

The world had ended. It was dark, and it was never light again. And the weird thing is... It felt really good. For everything to be over. Like suddenly being free of everything. No wants. No needs. Unending darkness. No yesterday. No today. No tomorrow. Nothing."
