Two episodes left to watch tonight, absolute quality on rewatch, definitely pick up a lot nore but it's still mind-bending stuff.

And the soundtrack is stunning listening to it again.

Absolutely loving season 2 so far... feels like this show is just made for me. Its mind bending and odd,but I love it.

Its full of clever twists and sometimes, things seem so wide apart,but ultimately,just seem to fall in sync with the story.

Just love it !

Id definitely recommend watching Season 1 again, I hadn't a notion of what was going on in S02E01 just now despite the recap. I had to pause and read the complete Wiki episode guide of S01 to remember all the twists and even then I'll probably have forgotten something.

I'm going to rewatch 1 first

Haha same with me but I think I have a grasp of it again by end of episode 2

Uncharted · 22-06-2019 8:49am

I had watched season 1 twice already and I was thankful for the recap.

Its definitely a brain melt of a show

extra gravy · 22-06-2019 1:16pm

Watched the trailer for season 2 and couldn't remember a thing so started season 1 again this morning. Had forgotten how good it is.

I'm on recap episode 4 now; reading summaries after I've watched episodes to make sure I've got my head screwed on properly afterwards.
I didn't realise til I read wikipedia that Dark had been based on a web series. No wonder it got taken up. It would have given the writers a great opportunity to tweak stuff for the rewrite.

It's one of the very best programmes I've watched. Must watch season 1 again

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 23-06-2019 1:07am

Finished Season 2 in one sitting this evening, and all I'll say is... Wow!

Zillah · 23-06-2019 1:13am

I'm in a bit of a bind...I don't remember Season 1 well enough to have any idea what is going on, but I really am not in the mood for watching the whole first season again. I watched the Netflix recap and it did not help very much!

I'm exactly the same ! That recap has me more confused.

As someone once said "..every decision for something, is a decision against something else"
(Hint- a character in Dark.)

Soundest advice would be to wait til you're in a better mood to rewatch season 1. Or you could just chance it. Your decision.

Unearthly · 23-06-2019 8:04pm

Well that was excellent. Such a hard show to write I'd imagine with all the different time zones and making sure things add up.

multi verse next season just to add to the confusion :pac:

It's amazing how complex it is and it absolutely demands your attention. If they stick the landing with the final season next year, it could arguably be the greatest show of all-time (pun intended

)

I don't want to say much about the season just yet, as it's so fresh and I need a chance to digest it more (or even re-watch), but just a note on one of the castings

they did such a phenomenal job with the elderly Ulrich - I literally thought it was the 2019 Ulrich actor with prosthetic makeup because the eyes and the nose are so identical, but it is actually another actor entirely.

cdgalwegian · 24-06-2019 9:08am

Just finished watching season 1 again. I have to lie down coz my head hurts.
I had to have the wiki page open as I was watching the episodes; I found it really hard to remember who was who, especially when people were referring to others. That's not a criticism- it's just a measure if how insanely complicated this fantastic show is.

I've finished the online Darkology honours degree, and I'm sad to say I only got a 1.2. I'm not as clever as I thought.:p

Ok. I'm ready for season 2. I'll see ye on the other side- some time in the near future, or maybe the past....

I rewatched Season 1 a few months ago and still had to go back and read the ep-by-ep synopsis on Wikipedia before I started Season 2. Give that a read, try S2E1 and if you still haven't a rashers what's happening, go back and watch the last two or three episodes of S1 again.

I rewatched most of season 1 whilst hungover yesterday, I think I'm going to have the read the wiki now too!

How Soon Is Now · 24-06-2019 8:23pm

Really really good show very underrated.

Finished the second season last night and ya had the same problem as others trying to remember certain bits from the first season but a lot of it came to me as things progressed.

Its also well worth sticking with the subs i dunno how half the people online more then likely in America.... are watching it dubbed ffs!

Wont comment on what happened on season two and how it ended up but **** didn't see it coming that's all ill say :pac:

cdgalwegian · 24-06-2019 10:34pm

Using some (crackle, crackle) discarded batteries, I've managed to fashion a miniature black hole, through which (crackle) I hope to have contacted ye from the other side - stop - definitely re-watch series 1 - stop - no spoilers, but intro music (crackle) same; GOODBYE, by Apparat. Haunting, with such appropriate and cool lines (crackle) as "for either never, or ever, goodbye". - stop - . I love this show- stop.

Half way through season 2 now, I'm a bit lost!

Just after watching older Jonas talking to Charlotte in the bunker. Can anyone explain why he doesn't seem to know that he's Adam? Or maybe he does and he's not letting on?

Cordell · 25-06-2019 10:02am

I was really disappointed by the ending...

The carefully build the concept of unbreakable time loops that can only be broken by that elusive loophole, then poof, multiverse, the lazy concept for light and easy time travel shows.

I've just finished episode 6 and even with checking the wiki after each episode it's pretty safe to say I haven't a fcuking rasher's what's going on. But man, that episode hit me right in the feels.

Dial Hard · 26-06-2019 11:25pm

Just finished it. Have rapidly lost interest, tbh.

Just finished S2 also, thought it was incredible.

Aaaah.... but we don't yet know if

the appearance of multiverse Martha (if that's what she actually is) is also part of the loop

Cordell · 27-06-2019 4:28pm

Yeah, maybe, the did a pretty good job keeping the plot interesting and hole free, so maybe

Is S3 confirmed?
