My final thoughts, I think, on having finished Dark: about halfway through the finale season they inject some extra nonsense seemingly just for the hell of being able to keep pushing the confusion. I found it unnecessarily distracting and kind of narratively pointless, and I think there was a way to do what they ultimately did without it. Meanwhile, someone at Netflix at some point should greenlight a quasi-Bandersnatch cut where you can pick a character and just watch what happens to them from their own chronological point-of-view—and then some pop culture website should watch all the possible ways to watch and give me a summary.
