People say it's as famous as Game of Thrones.
With the release of Netflix's new big sci-fi series Body Matters 3, some people are taking to social media to praise the streaming service's previous effort in an equally ambitious sci-fi drama.
That series is darkthe show aired for three seasons and 26 episodes from 2017 to 2020.
The show’s synopsis reads: “When children begin disappearing from the German town of Winden, the fractured relationships, double lives, and dark pasts of the four families who live there are revealed—uncovering a story that spans four generations. The mystery of man.”
With a three-season average rating of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, Dark has earned near-universal praise for its imaginative, intricately twisted story, blend of human drama and sci-fi elements, and dark, dark atmosphere.

You can read a sample of some of the positive reviews the first season received here:
Decider: “Dark feels like a version of Lost, where action on a magical time-travel island and secret-revealing, surprise-filled, character-driven backstory flashbacks all happen simultaneously.”
The Daily Beast: “Netflix’s smart new supernatural thriller is steeped in philosophical conundrums and 1980s nostalgia, keeping Stranger Things fanatics tuned in for another episode.”
The Sun (UK): “Yes, it's hard to remember who, what and when, but it's a hugely exciting series with twists and reveals that will keep you spiraling.”
Tampa Bay Times: “‘Dark’ is one of those shows that stays with you long after you’ve finished watching it.”
That last comment rings especially true given that the German show's loyal fan base is still taking every opportunity to recommend the show to others today.

I started watching The Three-Body Problem, but 10 minutes in, I realized I’d rather rewatch another Netflix series, Dark — so that’s what I did. The second time was just as exciting. My favorite show of the past decade. pic.twitter.com/zLzojNj7cc

I haven't seen something so bizarre and original since “Dark” (which I absolutely loved). This is a science fiction novel with a difference. You don't know what's going to happen next. It is no exaggeration to say that this is an extraordinary experience! I really hope Netflix commits to finishing this story. 🤍 pic.twitter.com/z9V9B0qcvt
