The only thing more frustrating than the plot is the potential which went wasted with this beautiful setting and concept. At one point, you'll start wondering why are people not even doing or saying the least logical thing they should. The setting is beautiful, the acting is commendable, the cinematography is amazing and some of the scenes just keep you in awe, which tries to make up for the unbelievably predictable dialogue and screenplay. I had to skip some of the long "thoughts-settling" scenes just so I could finish the season. If you like it, well, kudos to your taste. If you're frustrated too, go binge Bordertown in a dark room.

*No Spoilers* Dark's first season was criminally under-rated, mostly because it's getting more and more tiring to choose something good from Netflix's vast collection of sub-par shows. But as it garnered more and more views and word-of-mouth towards the release of second season, this show made people realize what a gem it was. The cinematography, the classic German-show grey backdrop, a beautiful score and a gripping storyline, this show had it all. It was sad that some people started comparing it with Stranger Things. It was way more "dark" and technical. The episodes made you pause the video and think about what you saw. How often do you do that apart from a good Nolan ? Season 2 followed with an even more complex storyline which would later give this show some of the weirdest scenes to be remembered by. The curse of the third, well, how should I put it, couldn't be completely avoided by this entertainment giant. Just like the much appreciated Westworld, this show somehow failed to realize adding more and more technical stuff would just sacrifice the human touch in it. The makers made this show mechanical that at some point, you would realize, just like a nice old riddle, you would just like to know the end. The third season is tiring but if you can go on with your forward button on your side, you will love the closure. Also, just like Game of Thrones couldn't live up to it's own hype, this show too suffered a similar fate, but in retrospect, you'll love that you watched both of these shows and what they gave to the TV industry, years later.

This is one of the most beautifully made incredible short story I've ever seen. It's amazing how the chemistry of every combination just, clicks. I wish more and more people see it.

There are some movies where you just wish to see the protagonists die, lose or atleast get beat up. This is one beautiful example for such kind. People keep making senseless mistakes, keep vanishing in a small mansion and are mostly confused throughout the movie. This movie would have been a masterpiece if the central concept was given a much better hand.
