Dark (spoiler-free) review: Season 3 offers closure, answers and leaves us to contemplate on them
FirstpostLanguage: German “Everything is connected,” We’ve been told over and over again across three seasons of Dark. When the clarity comes, it is not a loud Eureka moment but one of quiet resolution to every unanswered question, every trip across space-time, every metaphor-laden speech, every word spoken and unspoken, and every moment lived and relived. What was teased in the Season 2 finale is confirmed in the first episode of the final instalment as Martha 2.0 escorts teen Jonas to her reality. Three-quarters into each episode, he lets a poignant indie track play over a montage — it feels like the camera is checking in on all the characters to inform us of their emotional state. Take a shot every time: Jonas or Martha wake up gasping for air, they indulge in incest missionary-style, and someone repeats, “The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning” or “What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.” And take one final shot after the finale in tribute to Odar and Friese — for pulling off something destined to be a cult TV phenomenon sure to be dissected and discussed for ages.
