Finished Dark. Glad we didn’t binge it. Glad we watched it. Glad I could watch it together with somebody who matters to me. Not sure if I would recommend it to somebody who is not with somebody. Glad we spent the money on a decent 4K OLED. At 77″ it is – with decently lensed content like this – actually on the small size. Glad that we got our telco to switch us away from the DSL sub station that we were on before. With the 15Mbit they sent us from there 4K didn’t fly. With H266 it eventually will as we have learned this week. But today it would not be enough.
Daᴙk is really worth watching I think. Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar did an outstanding job in writing and directing it. Also in assembling an awesome cast and talented production designers, composers and all the other crafts one need to make such a tight piece. It is refreshing to watch something and not to know if I am just stupid and don’t get it, or if it is not known yet why something happens. I am looking forward to watching it again. There are still things that don’t make sense to me. Interesting to find out why I still don’t understand some aspects.
That Netflix makes large bets like this one is great. Lots of other, actually rather crappy, stuff they make as well. But then again, there is no Sendeplatz that it would take away from content like Daᴙk.
