As I said, that was the intent. I want people to get into this show, because it is really good. Amongst the best of Netflix Originals.
I wanted to make an LTTP thread but decided to search for the OT instead, but I was definitely going to put "Stranger Things" somewhere in the title. Because there are some superficial similarities and it helps to attach a name that is well known because I honestly think that
Dark is an awful name for the show and way too generic. It doesn't stand out from the sea of other shows at all. So, saying that it has some similarities with "Stranger Things" (that's a much better name already) helps a bit.
"Dark"... it really is a bad name. It doesn't give anything away at least but my wife didn't want to watch it at first because she thought (and I thought too) that it was a basic drama/thriller show with a bit of horror.
Anyway, we just finished season 1 and we liked it a lot (she loves time travel stories), even though we had to talk often to help each other keep track of all the characters.
Some great choice of music too but I often thought it was overbearing (not sure if it's the right word). Like, a way too dramatic violin even for some very common scenes. It's too loud and a bit overused imo. But I did like the music a lot and the song selection.
I can't wait for season 2. I hope we don't spend too much time (heh) in
because the setting looks kinda boring and uninspired, from the little we've seen. I feel like I've seen this a million times. But I guess it'll all come down to the characters.
Oh, and Ulrich is a total moron. My god, I thought he was gonna be cool, but what an idiot. He's a failure on every level, it's almost funny when you take the things he doesn't know into consideration.
Alright I'm cheating on my wife, but not only that, I'm cheating with the girl that accused me of rape and put me in jail for a while. I despised a cop when I was a kid and decided to become a cop too to be better than him but I'm actually worse. A dead kid appears from nowhere and it takes me almost a week to realize it's my long lost brother that I always look at on pictures everyday. Okay now I'm in the past I'm gonna make everything right. I'm gonna kill this kid with a rock and go home, that will go well. Wait where's my damn phone?
