Not Where, But When

The German series “Dark” (Baran bo Odar, 2017) is not something you just ‘watch and chill’ on Netflix.

In every episode, you raise questions that deal about time, purpose, and laws of nature.

Here, you solve the mystery together with the characters only to find out that you are already engaged in philosophizing life.

Here, you do not merely watch. You would find yourself theorizing about what was in the past, what will be the future, or something in between at the backdrop of time and space.

No, it is not merely a science fiction. It is philosophy on screen.

An intricate puzzle that leads you in questioning even your own existence.

Here, you are the character.

But it is not about where you are, but when you will see the light amidst darkness.

The premise of the series basically reflects with this conversation:
