In short: If you're into sci-fi and time travel stories, DARK blows everything you've ever seen or read out of the water.
In detail: I'm from germany and believe me, we're not blessed with lots of high quality shows. DARK is a german show and I was very sceptical when I heard the buzz. But I gave it a chance, and I was floored. This story is executed with so much love to detail, with so much passion in the writing, delivered by perfectly chosen actors, and it accomplishes everything so many failed to do before. This is everything you ever wanted. You can drop names like Dick, Asimov, Clarke, and you'll hit the nail on the head. Throw in some Nolan for good measure. I've read them all, seen them all, and DARK is fully on par.
This is no action flick, this is classic sci-fi in perfection. You'll need to stay alert all time, because of the complexity of the story. If the english dub is really that bad as I've read here (didn't try it), watch it in german with subtitles. Nearly every word has a meaning, every character has a purpose, and you'll have to follow with all your attention.
Just finished season 2, and it is even better than season 1. If they can keep up this level for the final season 3, and it really seems like they can, DARK might become THE BEST TIME TRAVEL STORY EVER WRITTEN.
