How this season is filed

Filed by Max Sterling · Streaming Confidential

Children vanish in a German town whose caves hide time travel and multigenerational guilt. Netflix's first German original to go fully global: family trees as crime scenes, whiteboards required. Mystery as closed loop — three planned seasons of knotting, and the rare streamer hit that actually knew how to end.

TV Flash files Season 1 of Dark (2017–2020) on Netflix as the first listed season of 3 — 10 listed hours, 2017-12-01 from “Geheimnisse” (S01E01) to “Alpha und Omega” (S01E10). Titles, dates, and synopses on file — no invented recaps.
