I like that the show is called "Dark", as the brooding and depressing mood is exactly what made it different from other sci-fi shows with mysteries like "Lost". Although it does feel like it's trying to imitate American TV shows, there is still a delightfully European touch which makes it slightly different than the other Netflix products.
It was hard to keep track of so many characters over multiple timelines at first, but the pacing is slow enough to prevent people from being left behind. I still struggle to recognize some faces, but the main storylines are pretty easy to follow. The first few episodes felt a little dull, but things get considerably better from the fifth episode. There are times people would act out of character or make illogical choices, but it's still tolerable. I just hope the time travel and "egg or chicken first" gimmicks will be able to bring something new to the table in the next season. The landscape at the end of the season finale was not too encouraging if I have to be honest.
