Dark - Season 3



DARK – Season 3 is a German web-series which was released over Netflix. It is sequel to the 1st two seasons with same name and is the final nail in the coffin. The series ends on a high note. The story continues from where it left and this season definitely hits you hard at right spot both in mind and heart.

 

The story comes to a satisfying conclusion and answers most of the questions. As show casted in previous two seasons, it continues to bend your mind in ways where you feel what more can be done to keep you hooked. The theme remains the same but everyone is trying to achieve their personal agenda, be it Adam, Eve or Claudia (you will understand the characters once you start watching). However, beginning is the end is what the story comes to, a full circle linking the first season with the third season.

 

But no matter what you do, you will find yourself stuck in a never ending loop of time. This season specifically has episodes spanned over a century with continuous shift between the various years. Based on a town name Winden, the 8 episode series finale is beautifully depicted. The story continues from where it left with Jonas vanishing along with Martha (who comes from a parallel world).

 

The weirdness and mind boggling story leaves you in awe of the script writer. With not many new characters, it is pretty easy to identify all of them after watching first two seasons. The best thing is story has developed which is totally new from any genre and also the ways in which it has been linked portraying the characters.

 

(Kindly go through reviews of Season 1 & 2 before getting hooked with Final Season).

 

The story gets complicated with characters spanning over century and continuous shift and one won’t like that after a hectic days work. So a definite watch for the weekend. The direction and background music is perfect and go hand in hand. The suspenseful music adds to the flavor. The actors have been exceptional. Both the main leads are themselves the antagonist, with time being the supporting devil as well as God. When you play with course of time, there is no big barrier then TIME itself. 

 

The original version in German but despite being a language barrier, the series does not disappoint you in any way. The name ‘Dark’ totally coincides with the gloomy scenes and most of the shots being in rain. The story has all the elements of anger, mystery, suspense, romance, time travel, betrayal and most importantly an out of the box plot. This is not everyone’s cup of tea as people may find it too slow & boring. But this one will definitely be a series that catches one’s eye. So you will watch it sooner or later.

 

If you have completed season 1 & 2, this season will definitely have an impact on you and leave you thrilled. The ending itself is sublime with long lasting effect on the viewer. The 3rd and final season unlike many other web-series, has beautiful ending.

 

Connecting the different segments of season 1 and season 2 is very important in order to be able to enjoy ‘Dark’. You might need pen and paper to jot down everything, that’s the level of craziness involved..


This series will not ooze that action sequences or fighting scenes like other flicks, but will definitely get you puzzled. If you haven’t watched ‘Dark’, go through review of Season 1 and Season 2 on our blog. It will definitely leave you binged.
