Choosing something to watch on Netflix can be daunting, but social media often comes to the rescue.
When you ask fellow viewers for recommendations, you’re bound to receive a wealth of suggestions. One popular spot for recommendations is the Facebook group Netflix Bangers, where fans eagerly share shows they can’t get enough of.
Recently, members of the group have been raving about a particular series, even though its first season premiered back in 2017. The show in question is Dark, Netflix’s first German-language original series.
The synopsis for the first season reads: “When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids.” The mystery-drama presents an intricate puzzle filled with twists, introducing a range of characters, each connected to the town’s dark history in ways they may not fully realize. The story also incorporates supernatural elements that link back to events in 1986.
One fan described it as “One of the best Netflix series’ ever made.” Another viewer noted that you need to be quite sharp to follow the plot’s many twists and turns, saying, “It needs a high IQ or else you’ll get lost in the DARK.”
Another fan humorously commented, “What’s the best Netflix original of all time and why is it DARK?” Echoing this sentiment, someone else teased, “DARK. An absolute Masterpiece. And yeah, it’s boring for people having low IQ.”
Dark has also been a critical success, boasting an impressive 95% critic score and a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, solidifying its place as a must-watch for Netflix subscribers.
