We have adjusted settings for the next ep.
A surprising and cool thing about Dark is that S2 is even better than S1.
Dark is great. It ends a little messy but not too bad
It's a court case told mockumentary style, and everyone is a professional actor except for one guy who has no idea. And then James Marsden plays an elevated version of himself.
It's great.
I just started this - so far I'm really enjoying it

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

i kinda felt this show was being written as they shoot it, i agree with most of what you say, specially the husband being horribly miscast. That dude is just not funny at all. Still, it was funny enough to come back to it, and the two leads are so fucking good together.

Dark is the one came out a few years back from Germany and looks like it’s nearly all shot in black n white right? Creepy town n something going on in the woods?
If so how is season two only happening now? The first was years back no?

I think you might be confused a little.
While it is from Germany, it clearly is not in black and white, and they did three seasons that have been completed and available for some time now.

I enjoyed this. Wasn't prepared for the twist at the end of the 3rd episode where they reveal that Maria Shriver has been the housekeeper this whole time
"I really enjoy sandwiches but the other guys are so good at making sandwiches that I don't make them. Now I make sandwiches."
Four episodes into Dark S2. This show is fascinating. I wish there was a site to research the show/characters/plot beats without spoiling the stuff I haven't seen yet. I have so many questions....
Lizzy Caplan and Joshua Jackson were so fucking good...Amanda Peet also. Real MVP was Toby Huss. I want a full series of him and Jackson doing pot and solving cases.
