Season 1 was great if youre a fan of horror movies like IT.
I think a lot of people felt it goes down hill after that.

Season 2 was alright, Season 3 meh.

I stopped watching some point throgh season 3 as it started falling apart imo
Watched it with family, that's a great show. But yeah, season 1 is the best, as you still don't understand a lot of things and the mystery creating more tension naturally. Once responses come more and more, the show kinda lose some of its edge.

Absolutely worth to watch anyway.
The first season was really good but the mystery was solved. After that it's just more of the same, still enjoyable to watch though.
It's an overrated kids show. Can't wait for the last season to debut at the end of 2025 so the online weirdos can stop talking about it.
It's designed for kids to sit with their parents and the parents can go "this is the clothes we used to wear/music we used to listen to" and all the family can share a laugh while the dimensional monster makes someone's head explode.
I couldn't get more than 5 eps in. I thought it was incredibly boring and slow paced.

This is how I felt about Dark. The mystery seemed interesting but I bailed after a few episodes as it felt like nothing was ever going to happen.
s1 is good, then it drops off in quality because the producers of the show became self aware that it was a success so they doubled down with the "REMEMBER THE 80's" and had endless nostalgia bait.

I sat through and watched all of Dark. I liked the show for the most part, but it is most definitely slow. What they did in multiple seasons they could have done in 1 probably. It starts to pick up later, but the twists are pretty weird and it all is somewhat nonsensical. It was still interesting, but only if you can tolerate the slow pace of it. You are probably better off reading a plot synopsis if you find it too boring to sit through. It was also hard to follow along as they skip through time and flashbacks a lot.
I decided to watch some of it after someone couldn't stop raving about it and insisted I watched it.

It loses almost all of its allure after season 1.

They hyped it up so much I thought, oh this must be like the best psychological thriller show ever.

I was severely disappointed. Season 2 got boring after like maybe the fourth episode...maybe sooner. At that point I was like, alright, I get it, lol. Mystery solved and acting is meh.

The only seemingly interesting part about it is that the director and producers did a good job of making me think they were back in the 80s or whatever.

But yeah it feels like a show I would have been glued to as a teenager or younger.
Fair enough
Mid but good
