[@MotelsonMars]

Aaron is right. The writers did plan out the entire series. And Eric is right, if you rewatch the series after knowing the end, everything has a new meaning. That's one of the reasons it's a masterpiece of storytelling.

[@JBjopa8]

Yes that is so true, Dark is one of those shows that is even better when you watch the show again you appreciate so many things even more.

[@bigted6351]

I think DARK is the best television show ever for rewatchability. Overall its definitely in my top 10, but its easily the best on rewatch. There are so many hints you pick up on, plot twists that you feel you should have seen coming as they're obvious to you now. The casting blows you away every time, particularly with the Stranger and Jonas. I sort of guessed he was him before the reveal, but they genuinely look so alike. It's like they were saying last episode, the showrunners definitely discovered time travel, its the only possible explanation

[@YourBlackLocal]

I agree to an extent. I think Dark really has a lot of stuff that only works on a rewatch, which is pretty cheap in my opinion.

[@bigted6351]

@@YourBlackLocal I disagree. I think as a whole it just takes the mystery genre to a different level. You yourself are trying to work out this massive puzzle, just as the characters are. It keeps giving you just enough, you work things out, get reveals along the way. But you don't truly understand everything until the end of the last episode, and then it all makes sense. To me that makes it gripping all the way through, and satisfying at reveals, epecially at the end.

[@YourBlackLocal]

@@bigted6351 You can do everything you said without having scenes that only exist to be understood after watching. A good mystery adds layers to what you saw and makes you see it in a new light. I’m not saying Dark is bad, but there are so many scenes that literally mean nothing in the moment and exist solely to be answered later.

[@jonathanbelfire]

I think you may have missed Noah lying to Adam at the end. Adam asks if Claudia had the pages on her and Noah shakes his head to say no. That's the first time we've seen Noah break away from Adam that we know of. Whatever was in the pages changed his view.

[@kathi_LG]

Yes … very important

[@haridaspalleeri6765]

Oh they DIFINETELY planned ALL of the 3 seasons out from the beginning which is why Dark is such an amazing delight to rewatch.

[@suicidesquadostmusic3017]

They didn't. They started from scratch after season 1.

[@kvm6]

@@suicidesquadostmusic3017 I guess that's why the Netflix deal was for 3 seasons of Dark and 1 season of 1899.

[@kvm6]

@Piano na Prática - Raphael Mingattos They had the broad strokes for both Dark and 1899 when they made a deal with Netflix. The plan for 1899 was also for 3 seasons, but yes Netflix didn't renew the deal. What my point was that Baran Bo Odar and Jantje Friese had the outline for all 3 seasons when they talked with Netflix. Some details changed like introducing stuff in finale instead of earlier in S2E6, but the story is largely the same. So, much so that if you zoom in on the family tree in S1E1 first scene (or get a better shot in a later episode), you'll learn of Noah's real name way before the show brings it up.

[@wonderwomanmillow2281]

Charlotte was NOT in the Tannhaus shop, because it was 1953. When Ulrich was there he saw two girls: Jana (his mother) and Ines (Mikkels Adoptivmother/ nurse). We saw Charlotte with the birds in 1986! Greetings from Germany ❤

[@foxyazure4272]

Claudia knew where she was going to die, but Noah didn't. She gave the obituary page to Agnes so she could give it to Noah, so that Noah knew where to find her and kill her so Noah would get the pages. Claudia knowingly killed herself to give Noah the pages.

[@StandardCabrera]

Seeing Claudia watch Regina on the balcony breaks my damn heart every time I see her breaking down. Unimaginable pain. Also, you've probably worked out out by now, but Tannhaus raised Charlotte as his grand daughter

[@JCmud351]

I really do realize something new every time. Claudia saying, “I like how you wear your hair. It makes you look so grown up,” to her Regina in the past and then going to see her daughter grown up who has lost her hair from cancer. It made that scene hurt even more!

[@aidarosullivan5269]

With every rewatch I like Claudia's character more and more.

[@ПавелФишман]

Mid Magnus clear

[@KayaaaaDe]

17:58 this is one of my favourite moments in this series. It totally changed our perception of Noah.

[@NinjarioPicmin]

I just can't wait for the next Weeks. Every single episode that is coming up is such a banger! (well really all Dark episodes are, but for some reason i like 2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7 and 2x8 especially!!!)

[@haridaspalleeri6765]

oh absolutely. The final half of Season 2 is *chefs kiss*

[@JBjopa8]

That is so true till the end every episode is just perfect. And the season finale is in my opinion the best season finale of any show that I have watched.

[@bigted6351]

I love every episode of Dark. For me though, the next episode is where it really steps up a gear. Every single episode from this point forwards is a 9 or 10 out of 10.

[@abonny]

The show is brilliant. All episodes from 4-8 in season 2 are some of the BEST TV ever created.

[@bigted6351]

Its sort of hilarious, in a dark sort of way, how many time travel hints Egon has been presented with. It happens to a lot of characters, but he gets SOOOO many hints and even by this point in his life, in the 80's, he just has a weird feeling but hasn't come close to putting it together. And it makes sense, why would he draw the time travel conclusion

[@bialynia]

Hence, satanism XD

[@MichaelConroy24]

This is one of my favorite shows ever! Love that y'all are liking it.

[@cupcake5114]

This is one of my favorite episodes in the whole show (if not THE favorite). Nothing too crazy happens compared to others, but Noah is my favorite character and the Tiedemanns are my favorite family so I love that they get so much focus here. Dark is mostly remembered for its crazy tight plot and its iconic twists, but I personally think that the show truly shines when it lets us breathe a little and focuses on the characters and their relationships. (And you know that a show is great when the main character doesn’t show up for a whole episode and you don’t even notice!)

[@J__T]

I too love the Noah character and Claudia and her father's relationship. Personally wish Noah figured it out faster or actually considered all the revelations instead of what he actually did.

[@reaper5222]

So many Egon and Claudia scenes, but rarely the same two actors. It's a great mashup of the different Claudias meeting the different Egons. Also, so many things I dare not mention.

[@umangumathe6911]

The thing about bootstrap paradox is that it is a paradox, there is no beginning & end to things, some things just exists in the loop. So it is wrong to ask who started it or who is responsible for things happening, it just happens deterministically. That's why eric is wrong.

[@linsidious11]

Till season 3 lol

[@J__T]

​@@linsidious11Yet there still isn't a beginning especially in the explanation of the original comment (spoiler territory ahead). Your response only gives a reason for why it exists and why it continues to exist, but there is no start. Using Dragon Ball as an opposite example - the Mirai timeline is what would happen if Trunks didn't go back in time. This is the reverse; there is no original way this happened.

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealtho]

the rewatch of this series is so special, u see more, u feel more, u have new perspectives. and u can do that as much as u want.

[@MaxwellBort311]

Dark is one of my 10 shows all time. I love this show

[@turboklanias9626]

Damn, you don't know it yet, but this episode sets up so much for the next of the series. Old Claudia is a top G accepting her fate.

[@ValentinasWatching]

It's so fun to see you guys theorize 😂 Me waiting for your reactions when you find out everything :: sips tea:: 😁👍

[@danimoorehead]

7:33 eric was right though. it did come back. a few episodes after that when they mentioned madds they said that he was in fencing class right before he went missing i knew that they were gonna talk to her because she was also in fencing class.

[@mitrey1551]

I knew this show would lead to discussion gold.

[@TheJudeniro]

The next Episode Will be a Ride!!!!!

[@kathi_LG]

Ohhhh yeah 😂

[@MaxwellBort311]

All aboard

[@hazri8758]

"I just realized I didn't get anything from that" 🤣

[@thales8153]

next episode is so good

[@cbt1138]

Watching Blind Wave watch this show is like watching a broken NPC in an open world game.

[@acbridge4th999]

This is why I commented in season one that a spreadsheet is needed. Not only for each character, but in which timeline did did they come across a version. For Egon to have the "witch" then is daughter repeat a phrase, then his next time line the Ulrich paradox. Even for those who speak German, I'm sure keeping track of the versions of each character became a daunting task.

[@MRGooodwineTV]

thats child claudia not charlotte

[@navo159]

yeah even the editor was confused

[@StandardCabrera]

Eric made a great point about the bootstrap paradox. That's what so head-fucky, if you introduce a change into the loop by the very nature of the loop that new action has happened an infinite amount of times and has always been. It's such a weird thing to wrap your head around.

[@Commander_Shepard.]

heehehehe head-fucky uwu

[@HerSandiness]

I like they way the 12th Doctor explained it on Doctor Who. If you play a record of Beethoven's 5th Symphony for him before he writes it, did he then actually write it, or has he just copied a piece of music, that he himself wrote?

[@StandardCabrera]

@HerSandiness lol, exactly. Same with tannhaus book. He always wrote it, but by his younger self then receiving it, he then accelerated his younger self's understanding of it all as he could learn 4 decades of his own research in the time it takes him to read the book. There's so many in this show, but the best one, in my opinion, is still to come. I'm looking forward to seeing how they react to it lol

[@tunasub7727]

The fencing classes bet is so funny lmao

[@calebramat7649]

Agnes son is tronte which is ulrichs father

[@jonathanpowell7256]

The present day is 2020 now, there was a 6 month time jump between seasons 1 & 2.

[@MRGooodwineTV]

you got your timelines mixed charlotte was in was in the 80s and 2019... not 1950s

[@Whistler4u]

Asking so many questions the show already answered.

[@sylviacottrell502]

Aaron strangling Calvin in the thumbnail loooolololol

[@mimikannisto4418]

I have watched your reactions for years. I greatly enjoy exercising parts of the mind that are not used as often as you made the analogy about and the complexity of shows in general. I have watched your reactions to many shows. However I think the combination of this show and the fact that it challenges you this much. I believe this show is my favorite reaction from you!!! Idk the other shows that you mentioned as being this complex but my next favorite might have to be The Expanse reactions. Does anyone have suggestions for other complex shows like this to watch?? They seem to be rare shows to find imo.

[@pandycious]

Can someone please tell me the name of the book Eric recommended at the end? Edit: found it. The Elegant Universe. Thanks closed captions! 😂

[@texasrattlesnake31637]

Hoorah! Another mind bending episode! 🤯🤯🤯💯💯💯👍👍👍

[@rachit1042]

This show is a masterpiece because it was always planned perfectly! Once you finish it and rewatch, you notice new stuff every single time! And I have a feeling if you guys are this confused here, what the hell would you do in season 3!

[@reaper5222]

The camera will just be splattered with Blind Wave brains.

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealtho]

the bootstrap talk is just.... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@em8066]

41:23 That's interesting, and kind of what I was wondering. It seemed contradictory that some characters would have wounds carried through timelines, as evidence of things unable to be changed. Yet the time machine has been altered according to Tannhaus, when he notices a chamber for the Cs 137 cartridge. So things can be changed, maybe? That seems to be the turning point of the whole climax for the show: will anyone be able to change events? If the climax shows them changing things, will they differentiate that by removing wounds on certain characters, for example?

[@HerSandiness]

They started talking about Charlotte, but showed a picture of kid Claudia. Their editor has something mixed up in his head.

[@karenclaudino]

I can’t believe they are finally watching Dark. 😢 I love it :)

[@bialynia]

This show has so many interesting relationships and entwined fates but the mutual prejudice between Ulrich Nielsen and Egon Tiedermann is one of the best.

[@zethayn]

Will you do 1899 too? there are too few reaction/theory videos on KZbin and I've got nothing to watch

[@Hah4-23-80]

I would vote 1899 as my number 1 choice for new series but I have no idea how to do that. I just started watching these for Dark and now going back for GOT. It's 1 season, but blows your mind.

[@luisaschmidt9169]

I'm really anxious for ep 5

[@goat1895]

episode 6

[@alliona502]

It’s so painful watching the crew mess-up the characters🥲 Like Tannhaus is charlottes adopted grandfather not father, and Charlotte was not in the 50s as she wouldn’t of been born, and how they mix-up characters or overthink characters like thinking that Bartosz and Noah are the same person 😭 I don’t know if they’re struggling with subtitles, or watching it week-to-week amongst other shows. When I first watched the show I managed to get everyone sorted in my head by the end of S1, I’m surprised that they are struggling so much and can’t remember a lot of characters names or the relationship to other characters. Like there’s four of them, I would of hoped one person would remember 💀

[@closedmouth]

they're definitely overthinking it, and i think the four-person discussion at the end is making them more confused, not less they're getting better though, and episode 4 will sort a lot of things out

[@kvm6]

It's alright to struggle, and have wrong ideas, but if they are using the family tree then these shouldn't happen, as it clearly clarifies who Noah is.

[@J__T]

Completely agree. When I watched it over the course of a few hours each weekend for several weekends, I did not have any problems remembering who anyone was or is without need of writing it down. My folks were the same way.

[@JCmud351]

It is hard to keep track of everything when you’re watching a ton of other shows with the same expectation of remembering everything *and* when you’re trying to watch something for content creation vs. at your own leisure. They’re gonna miss things. But Dark has enough (really great) writing that it takes people forgetting details into account. It knows it’s a detail-heavy show but will still deliver the story without getting caught up in them. And the idea that Noah is Bartosz was a big theory amongst fans when the show first released. Given that we see young Noah by first episode of S2, I never got it, but they’re not the only ones.

[@pseudonymousbeing987]

Jude Law and also Michael Fassbender are who Noah/Mark Waschke the actor remind me of. Fassbender would totally play him on the shitty English speaking remake of Dark lol

[@wickamo]

Relax guys. You're still completely off, but there's still so much you don't know that no one would ever be able to figure out the final plot, so it's not you. The show is designed to fool you until the end.

[@goat1895]

you guys should rewatch the show

[@owenmcbrearty9387]

I'm very much enjoying this reaction run, but I think the crew really need to learn the family tree names and faces off before going any further. Like not knowing names and people's native times is only going to get in your way going forward. and reveals and developments won't land the way they're meant to.

[@JBjopa8]

💯

[@mustafahussain2416]

Thats right Season 3 is super fast and there will be so many players

[@misshell]

Yes, when I watched it on my own, I constantly paused and had to look up the family trees. I was still confused about other things, but it did help!

[@KayaaaaDe]

Yes it gonna be even more confusing if they don't recognise the characters.

[@cbt1138]

This show is not really conducive to the way they watch shows. You really have to absorb every detail to keep your head afloat. So they are going to be struggling by the time season 3 rolls around.

[@TheJerbol]

Eric, you can't _do_ a bootstrap paradox, that's the whole point. A bootstrap paradox means there _IS_ no origin, not that people don't _know_ the origin

[@masteronionnorth2341]

They honestly don't see the Charlotte/Elisabeth twist coming, do they? Or Adam..... 😋

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

Do "Yellowjackets"

[@Hah4-23-80]

Yes, that is another great one.

[@ItsShaz1]

Loved the reaction guys!

[@Spotto26]

I was gobsmacked when I learnt old Ulfric is played by a different actor. Thought for sure it was the same guy with makeup and a wig.

[@neezduts69420]

Egon isnt at fault for when Ulrich choked him because Ulrich never told him his name until that very moment where he choked him. so yeah ulrich was totally unjustified with that.

[@tatianamaranoedits4184]

Aaron is kinda on the right track attthe end with the conspiracy and theory

[@Fizzoom]

Can you guys react to Ozark

[@gonheroedits]

This has nothing to do with the show but them to react to Money Heist. At least the first season.

[@dominikmann4751]

Is there no English dubbed translation? Many greetings from Germany. I didn't know that this series was so popular in English-speaking countries😅

[@lpharmer3496]

There is one but it is not that good. Rather the German is just so good, I found the dub distracting and hard to watch

[@charlieg2262]

Thumbnail looking very Biblical this week

De ja vu again . . .

Noah is Jonas's Great Great Great Uncle.

[@SuperSkateToLive]

Still waiting on that Attack on Titan reaction :(

[@mimic1984]

Anyone hear the song My World by Damascus? Completely unrelated to this video, but still recommend it. The song creator's (My cousin) trying to raise cash with a go fund me to hire a lawyer to help his brother get his missing kids back (long story, read it in the description under his video)

[@kathi_LG]

Episode 6 Season 2 is one of the best and most important one. Can’t wait to see your reaction 😍
