This haunting series ran for three seasons on Netflix and looks like three bad vibes in a trenchcoat. Let’s get to know this Stephen King-approved title a bit better.
Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis
“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 series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town’s troubled history — whether they know it or not. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986. Dark represents the first German original series produced for Netflix.”
