Stranger Things vs. Dark

Kid goes missing in a smaal town, launching friends & family into a sci-fi, fantasy, conspiracy thriller.

Which one is better, though? That’s the question.

Stranger Things is better if you're in the mood for a lighthearted adventure with likeable characters and 80s nostalgia.

Dark is better if you're more in it for the compelling long term mystery.

I might be one of the half a dozen of people who liked 12 Monkeys more than Dark.

Not to say it's better than Dark, both were great.

Yeah I honestly don't know which is better

Dark stronger start, but 12 Monkeys stronger finish.

I feel like the similarities only hold up for a few episodes though. Though Dark does keep the elements you say.

Stranger things is great, but Dark blew me away. The way that Dark tied that insanely confusing and convoluted plot line up into a nice beat little bow with the series finale was just beautiful. It might be the most satisfying ending of any series I've watched.
