So I’ve just finished rewatching Dark (2017) on Netflix, and I think it’s proof that it’s possible to deliver a high-quality piece of art if that’s genuinely the goal, and if you don’t let the prospect of making more money get in the way, because that show is objectively fucking perfect.
There are no plot holes, no filler episodes, and no room for useless spin-offs, because everything is resolved. You get the sense that the writers knew exactly what they were doing and where the story was going at every single moment of every episode. It’s evident they did extensive research across several fields of study, and yes, it’s crazy, but they still managed to make it make sense. It was carefully and deliberately written, with the story meticulously planned from beginning to end.
The visuals, references, storytelling, mystery, pacing, and symbolism were amazing. The casting was mind-blowing. And the show also had a finale that couldn’t have been better. Not only did it wrap everything up perfectly, but there weren’t even any fan theories that could possibly top it. There couldn’t be. It had to be done exactly the way the writers intended.
And even if there were other ways it could have ended, you wouldn’t bother considering them... because it was perfect as it was. Nothing could have made more sense.
That’s something I’ve rarely seen, if ever.
That’s how a show should be written.
