How did Dark fail? Are people too dumb to watch an amazing show in a foreign language with subtitles?
Dark was amazing.

I thought the 3rd season was pretty underwhelming and really disappointed me.

I didn't like the twist on the second season finale. Personal taste, ofc, but the show lost me there and everything I didn't like on the third season came from that plot point.

Amazing how every goddamned scene had somebody say "Ich..." and trail off with a thousand yard stare?
The show started well and ended very far up its own ass.

Shoot - I've been studying German on duolingo.com just so I can watch Dark without the subtitles. Oh, and one day I might go to Germany, too.
AnakinRagnarsson66 OP t1_ix8ywzg wrote
no no no Dark didn't fail. it was a masterpiece. But it had its failings, mainly the complete lack of joy throughout and complete lack of any personality in almost every character. It also took 2 episodes to get truly engaging. These are things which 1899 fixed.
Also, I guarantee a lot of people quit Dark before getting to the end of the 2nd episode, because the main special aspect of the show wasn't revealed yet, and the show had very bad vibes and was slow in the beginning. It was off-putting in the beginning but it became truly sensational after a couple episodes

Lack of character and personality? Maybe if you watched dubbed.
AnakinRagnarsson66 OP t1_ix8zqcd wrote
I would never watch dubbed. It took time for me to realize this, but there is extremely few scenes of humor or joy in Dark, especially season 1. And everyone speaks always in a super serious tone = no personality.

The show is literally called "Dark" it isn't suppose to be humorous.

AnakinRagnarsson66 OP t1_ix90tv9 wrote
So? My point is that a joyless show with bad vibes is off-putting for many.
And it's a flaw too imo, there needs to be balance.
Fondle_My_Sweaters t1_ix917h3 wrote
Balance to whom? Did you actually watch it? Maybe How I Meet Your Mother is more your style.
AnakinRagnarsson66 OP t1_ix92ckn wrote
Strawman.
Dark would be better and more enjoyable if characters actually had some personality and there were some more moments of joy in it. I'm gonna leave it at that.
Fondle_My_Sweaters t1_ix92yuf wrote
The show was to complex for you. Move on.
AnakinRagnarsson66 OP t1_ix936fu wrote
Are you a troll? I said the show was a masterpiece. I watched it all and appreciated the complex story. You seem to think the show is beyond criticism and anyone who criticizes it is dumb. When in reality it is you who is narrow-minded.
Fondle_My_Sweaters t1_ix93s4r wrote
So how is 1899 better? In your opinion? There is no humor or character development yet either. It takes time yet you eqiviat it already. Where is the joke? Find a mirror and point at yourself because then will you find it.

Lol ur getting downvoted because u have a legitimate opinion. All while the other guy is getting upvoted for acting like a child in an argument because he's taking offense and got butt hurt over criticism of a show.
AnakinRagnarsson66 OP t1_ixbntjg wrote
Thanks these coondescending, snobby Dark fanboys are excruciating! I even admitted the show is a masterpiece and they still can’t handle me even slightly criticizing the show. They’re so pathetic

Off-putting for many. Many being a small percentage of viewers compared to those that didn't think it was off-putting and actually felt pulled-in due to the tone and content.
So maybe it was off-putting to many, but it was the opposite of off-putting to most people, like a significant factor more people than those that disliked it.
You and your RL social circle are not 'many people', you're just anecdotal evidence, bias, not proof of any fact or statistic at all

I would seriously consider holding off on contrasting the shows until you finish the season.

Seriously... a lot of what OP is saying is pretty funny knowing what's about to happen.
Mattyzooks t1_ix9nsdq wrote
Exactly.
BigMetalGuy t1_ixa336x wrote
Lack of joy and personality in characters? Have you watched 1899? There are about two (bad) jokes in it, and the characters are all wafer thin.
Uro06 t1_ixa9kwx wrote
What? The exact opposite is the case. The characters in Dark are, well actual characters and feel like real people. They have normal lives and behave like normal people until shit hits the fan.
In 1899 everyone is miserable from the start before any mysterious things even happen. The characters don't feel real because everybody is acting so anxious and everyone is so damn serious from the beginning as if they know they are starring in a mystery show.
