DARK Season 1 Official Trailer # 2 (2017) Netflix Mystery TV Series HD
ONE Media
Feels like we have seen this show before. We've got a rainy, dark, forest, the small town of Winden, Germany, a smattering of school kids, big and little, and two missing kids. We've also got animals inexplicably falling dead, electric lights being flaky, a mysterious cave adjacent to a nuclear power plant and a mad scientist conducting weird experiments.

Winden is about ten miles from the French border. There is a nuclear power plant 18 miles northeast of Winden.
Realized after the first episode that we had started watching it once before, but found that the story line included time-travel, and being as the boss was opposed to anything science-fictiony, we turned it off. I'm not a big fan of time travel, but some time travel stories are pretty good even though they are fundamentally ridiculous.
This one is just confusing. We've got a dozen or so characters, but we have them operating in three different times periods, so we have three different actors playing each character, one for each time period, which makes it challenging to keep the characters straight, never mind the plot. Wikipedia has a good cast listing.
Did I mention it's rainy? And dark? And the music is creepy. (Soundtrack) The whole show has a very creepy vibe. And because most of our characters are confused and upset, they spend an awful lot of time out wandering around in the rain without umbrellas or even hats. Amazingly, nobody dies of pneumonia.
One good thing is the elaborate clockwork time machine. We catch glimpses of it early on, but we finally get a good look at in the last episode.

The gyrations it goes through reminds me of the title sequence from Game of Thrones.
10 Episodes, ~50 minutes each.
