Science fascinates all of our minds. Especially we have never been able to get over with the concept of time machines and time travel. Starting from Doraemon, to now this German series, time machines have always been something we have wanted to exist. Netflix’s Dark series is addition made into this genre. With its third and final season having released on the 27th June 2020 on Netflix, it is a look out what mysteries got solved in this season? Will there be a final pause to the time travel? Will the mysteries of people being killed and the nuclear factory be solved?
Dark invariably, is one of the most complex to understand series of all times. The characters an their relation with each other are strangled together. It is based in the backdrop city of Winden. But we are here to give you a brief idea of the plot without too many spoilers.
The 1st season began with the sudden disappearance of a child named Mikkel. He was the youngest son of Police Inspector Ulrich. Ulrich was also seen cheating on his wife with another woman. Mind you, there are a lot of cheating partners in the series. Another main character of the series is Jonas who is the son of Ulrich’s love interest. What was strange about Mikkel’s disappearance was a series of events, like animals dying, strange light flickering, etc. Well, according to Mikkel’s grandmother and some other elders of the city, this wasn’t the first time, all this was happening. Similar events happened at a time when they were young. And from here begins a series of mysteries.
All these event, get directly related to a cave that is present in the jungles of the city. The series get more and more complex with the upcoming episodes. People time travel to different years with the help of the cave. The cave actually is a warm hole that transports people from one time period to another time period.
In the latest season, we witness Jonas and Martha is the main lead. The concept of two different world, Adam’s World and Eve’s World come into the picture. Things takes a nasty turn.The third season is full of mysteries. Every character has different looks from different time period. The question lies, what is the constant transportation of people into different time periods? How is the warm hole supposed to close? Will there be more deaths? The connection between the character is very confusing. Martha is the 2019 time period is Jonas’s friend, but in the future time period, she turns out to be his aunt. Wondering, how is that even possible?
Dark, indeed lives up to its name. The series is full of mysteries and concepts, which cannot be easily adopted by the human mind. It is one of the best science- fiction series made till date. We highly recommend you to watch the series. And, remember to watch it with full concentration because even a furniture in the series has a role to play.
