Tommy, Josh, and Jenn dig into the epic season finale, season 3, episode 8 of the incredible German language Netflix series Dark! In our discussion of the conclusion of this series, we discuss our thoughts about the episode, as well as our overarching thoughts about the thematic points the show makes over the whole series. This is a show that definitely benefits from re-watching, and you will benefit from a second viewing, especially if you (like us) were less than impressed with where season 3 had been going before this. Listen to figure out how everything is connected, the end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end, and how to untie the knot that has been tangled up for us for the past 3 seasons.

Tommy, Josh, and Jenn dig into season 3, episode 7 of the incredible German language Netflix series Dark! In our spoiler-free (up to this episode) discussion, blast through 300 years of time shenanigans and try to make sense of it. Everyone seems to be stuck in hiatus before they can make their next move, and we watch the blossoming friendship of characters who are often enemies, relationships with characters who shouldnât exist in the same time, and get closer to seeing whether Adam or Eva will ultimately control time.
Thanks for your patience in this episode coming out! It'll probably be a little bit longer of a wait until the final episode as well, but hopefully if you've come with us this far, you don't mind a bit extra of a wait! Thanks for being on the ride with us. To one more episode!
