• Netflix's Dark

    From Netsurge@77:1/100 to All on Sat Jun 22 01:49:26 2019
    My wife is a big fan of this time travel foreign series and I recently, while on the road for work, decided to give it a whirl.

    I only have 2 episodes to go in the first season so no spoilers please, but
    up to this point I am hooked.

    Between Stranger Things, Black Mirror and Altered Carbon; Netflix has been doing right with SciFi for this junkie.

    I haven't seen the last two, but Stranger things is really good. Season 3 on the 4th...

    I have been considering checking this out and I hear good things just have
    not pulled the trigger on watching it yet -- but now sounds like a good time
    to jump in and check it out.

    100% Agree! I am still behind on Black Mirror (I absorb too much from each episode I need an emotional break from them in between).

    Have you checked out Black Mirror: Bandersnatch?

    As a retro computer guy I highly recommend checking it out if you have not
    but you have to make sure you are able to take the time to focus to make choices -- so do it when you have no distractions.

    I think it was done very well for choose your own adventure style platform.

    I am looking forward to it. It looks like it will be much darker than
    anything previously. The kids are growing up!

    I just hope they don't go and fuck it up. The 1st season was well written
    with very complex yet easy to follow time travel twists.

    100% Agree! I am still behind on Black Mirror (I absorb too much from
    each episode I need an emotional break from them in between).

    Have you checked out Black Mirror: Bandersnatch?

    I have watched Bandersnatch at least 30 times with my wife. Each time we literally map out what choices we make on paper to see how many combinations
    we can get. Kinda like mapping out a dungeon while playing Eye of the
    Beholder on the Amiga, lol.

    I just finished watching all of season 2.

    Without spoiling anything, it's a well thought out time travel scifi show
    that turns very dark (no pun intended) from time to time.

    I finally started watching it last night and 5 episodes in. Really enjoying
    it so far. I love shows / movies that deal with the complications of time travel so thanks for the nudge to finally check it out.

    You almost have to map out who is what and where and when to follow along. A great psychological exercise.
