Dark: Die Reisenden (2019)
Season 2, Episode 4
9/10
First bit of humour in Dark
27 April 2024
Discoveries are made in two time periods.

This is another impressive episode of complex storytelling and effective visuals.

As Dark progresses the plot gets increasingly complex, with various connections between characters and events. This leads to impactful moments of information reveals to individuals and this episode has its share. For me the most powerful moment involves Katarina in the school office as it combines great emotion with visual storytelling. There is a big reveal to the audience near the end, but as it is on the basis of a character's hearsay I'm not ruling out it might be a red herring.

All the characters are used well by the filmmakers, particularly the adults shown in 2020 as they piece certain details together. I also like the scene with Claudia at the library as for a few seconds some light humour actually emerges from the usual bleakness.

Visually it's fantastic like previous episodes. The cinematography, period detail, art design and editing is superb.
