Sreemoy Talukdar

I was late to Dark, and was apprehensive that it will fall short of the hype created around it. Two seasons later, I can say that Dark is everything that I hoped for, and more. You have heard of adjectives like "mind-bending", "terrifying", "brilliant", etc. These adjectives mean nothing. The best thing about Dark is that it challenges you to come out of your 'passive viewing' mode and demands full attention from you. And when you have submitted to its demands, Dark plays around with your mind like a toy. I have lost count of the number of times I have had to play back, to note little clues that I missed at first. Dark is not a show, Dark is a phenomenon. It has set such high standards with its writing and schematic presentation of an idea, that it may trigger an entirely different genre. I feel scared that nothing that I watch after 'Dark' will appeal to me. Dark has spoiled me for good. Tock. Tick. Tock!
