Dark Season 2 review: Netflix's highly ambitious show flawlessly turns ordinary into outlandish
FirstpostLanguage: English I stopped and rewound a few minutes of Dark in season 1, after a corpse of one child was revealed to be the corpse of a kid that went missing 30 years ago. In contrast, the second season is more fluid and self aware with its twists and turns, particularly after its electrifying fourth episode; post which the show leaves behind its blistering pace in favour of more meditative moments between Jonas and Martha, the love of his life whom he cannot be romantically involved with because the time travel mechanic has turned them into relatives. It makes for a well-ordered inversion of the structure of Season 1, which slowly and deliberately pulls the characters of the show apart at the seams, as Noah’s relationship with Jonas and other people in Winden, and the grand conspiracy, is gradually revealed. The other characters, like Jonas’ school friends, who kick-started the series of events, could have easily been lopped off to simplify the story, but their loss would have diminished the latter half of Season 2’s wild spiral, where they are forced to confront the horrors of their own actions in different timelines. The first half, which is largely set in the ‘future’ that Jonas ends up in at the end of Season 1, needs far fewer qualifications.
