Dark S3E1

I am 34 minutes in and am not okay.

I think I am having a breakdown. I just paused it, made several laps around the room, reminding myself how to breathe. It's too much, I can't handle it.

It's like if you woke up one day, and all the mirrors are somehow showing you not-mirrorred version of yourself. And it's confuses you to the core.

Also I can sum up my thoughts about the half of S3E1 to:

"Oh, so it's ok here, different but so similar.

*3 seconds later*

Wait, what? Man, just hold on a minute, just..."

Dark S3E5

Heartbroken and grief stricken, I was crying for about 15 minutes after the ending of this episode.

After I calmed down a bit, and started to think about what I have seen, I realized that I missed one important detail.

Major spoiler alert!

I warned you!!

If this Jonas dies here, he cannot become neither The Stranger not Adam. I would love to jump to conclusion that they have finally changes something, and the loop is broken, but no. There must be something that we are missing, or something that we don't know. The Stranger we know haven't met Martha 2.0 when he was young. It actually might not have happened to him, which makes me wonder that maybe there are some key points that are changing from one circle to the other. Or that there are other versions of Jonas we don't know about. Or maybe, anything is possible at the end of the loop, because if will start anew and the last details of the last days won't matter that much.

What if that's exactly what needed to be done to create the redemption path for Martha? I guess we'll see the reason for everything in the following episodes.

P.S. Also, the whole Katharina and her mother situation are heartbreaking. However, it made a lot of sense about the pendant that Jonas has found and gave to Martha, eventually becoming a symbol of travelers. I am so sorry for Peter too... And Eli, poor soul, the shit she went through in several months and especially that day is just too much.

I don't know if I am ready for what's about to happen.

Spoiler alert!

Okay, so there actually is an explanation to why everything is happening in such a double way.

Good to finally see who are the representatives of the Light and the Shadow.

It's awesome to get a confirmation of my theory about Bartosz which I had from the moment I saw him in the beginning S2.

I also don't know what kind of a fucked up reality it is to constantly murder someone you used to love and say that it's okay.

Also I am really intrigued by the Unknown because he might be a powerful player in this Time-Space War. If I got what the series was pointing at, he is the beginning, the son of the most messed up love story I have ever watched.

I wonder what happens with Martha inside the Particle...

She must give birth to their son, so I assume she is going to be okay. Or at least some version of her. I don't know... It's really confusing.

But I like every second of it.

Dark S3E7

In between time...

The most wonderful recap and explanation of what happened during the centuries and what lead us to this moment.

Full of surprises and unexpected plot turns, and yet designed so everything will find it's place and be exactly where and when it needs to be.

Wow.

Dark S3E8

Spoiler alert!

It's perfect. They made it possible. They made it right. They finally put what their heart wished for aside and helped to restore the world. It is the paradise. Everyone is happy. They all stay in touch.

No more pain, no more lies, no more missed kids and cycles of violence.

I am glad with how Jonas & Martha were together in the end, and even though they had strong feelings for each other - they let it go, erasing it all. In that moment they were perfect together: pieces of what is wrong, finally making it right. One of the most beautiful, dramatic and deep moments I have seen on screen.

It is unbelievably sad. Nevertheless, it's absolutely brilliant and beautiful in every way imaginable.

I am so happy. It's perfect, every bit of it.

I cried a river here, but I am in a superposition of being sad and happy at the same time.

Thank you Baran Bo Odar and Jantje Friese as well as the cast and everyone who made this masterpiece possible. The finale you gave us is everything.
