I just finished it. I'm seriously not sure how to process all the information. Interesting set up for a season 2. Although, I really wanted closure on all these mysteries NOW. Some mysteries were solved, some I guessed correctly, others I'm still not sure about.

This was an ambitious story that if you are going to watch, you must pay attention. You have to listen closely and put on your thinking caps and commit.

I'm definitely going to be rewatching at least the beginning episodes again. As I said before, it is a very tangled Hawingesque trip.

I really liked it.

I watched a bit of the first episode and really liked it. I got sidetracked with Doctor Who and Mindhunter. I'll get back to Dark when I'm done with those two because, as you said, it is something tat demands your full attention. I was really intrigued by the little I saw of it so far though.

I liked DARK a lot -- perhaps even more than STRANGER THINGS. I quickly switched away from English overdubs to German audio with English subtitles, which greatly improved the viewing experience. The fact that none of the actors were recognizable to me increased my confusion once the various younger versions of the characters entered the story. They did a decent job with the split screens to assist us in matching up who was who was who, but I was still lost some of the time. I went back and watched the first episode after finishing the series and things are much clearer now!

I always listen to a show in its original language and add the english subtitles. I also will go back and watch the first few episodes as it was confusing who was whom at times, but I really loved the show.
