[@mowglisavonturen]

Trying to identify people through their facial structure, because you know casting would be on point 😆 You're in this cycle now, there's no escaping itttt gotta keep watching 😂 Hope you enjoy season 2, you're in for a treat!

[@ItzWilson2]

Yea that’s how good it is 😂 can’t wait to get through this show!

[@connectingthedots100]

There is an interview where both actors reach for a glass of water at the same time. Some commenters went nuts 😂

[@jaijais]

already enjoying your speculations!! buckle up, it gets wilder 😄 also fun fact: the second season premiered on june 21, 2019, which in-universe is the day adult mikkel d*es, kicking off the story, and the third season premiered on june 27, 2020-here noted as the beginning of the last cycle

[@ItzWilson2]

Thank you! That’s sooo trippy 😂 love that from the show runners haha

[@aliciaaaa2154]

Welcome to season 2! Can't wait for you guys to get through this loop!

[@ItzWilson2]

Thank you can’t wait!

[@lennmeisterPVP]

fun fact: 4 years ago today, the apocalypse they're talking about happened🫡

[@ItzWilson2]

Damnnn you’re right 😂

[@masteronionnorth2341]

All three seasons were released on important dates mentioned in the series.

[@michaelklaus]

In the cold open of this season, they basically announced the release date of season 3. Which is also the date of the apocalypse. Many of us assumed correctly so. bo and Jantje had taken to call the seasons cycles (like the ATLA seasons are called books). Season 2 premiered on June 21st, 2019, or, in other words, the day Michael committed suicide. Season one premiered on Dec 1st, 2017... I'm not sure. Is that an important date? On another note a cycle is also a submanifold. This becomes interesting once we know that spacetime is a four dimensional Lorentzian manifold which curvature models gravity. So a cycle could be understood as a specific part of spacetime. If we now take into account that bo goes with the term timeplanes for the different parallel years, we could assume that cycle might also represent a specific group of equi-distant timeplanes.

The intro with young Noah is one of the best scenes from the whole show. I don't know why

[@hitarezin]

hellyea, started watching u guys yesterday dark is my favorite series by far

[@ItzWilson2]

Let’s go man! Thanks for watching

[@dresden123456]

How do you manage not to marathon this show, I wouldn't have that willpower 😅 I love how the teen Jonas is starting to resemble the Stranger and how much of the teen Jonas we could see in Stranger's scene with his mum. Their mannerism is on point (obligatory "what a fantastic casting" comment lol).

[@ItzWilson2]

If we didn’t record these so late we would certainly be binging 😂 happy to live with the show for a while tho. Ur right I didn’t even think about that between the two Jonases, I can’t hear enough praise for the casting so keep it coming!

[@TheJudeniro]

This season is my favorite!!! I

[@cantremember817]

Every season of this show is incredible but season 2 is my favorite

[@ItzWilson2]

Lot of people are saying that, stoked!

[@jamalchess7636]

Best show ever. You all are NOT ready for this season

[@masteronionnorth2341]

You find out later this season what Stranger meant, when he told Jonas that Michael saved his life, but didnt understand this until later. Seaon two ramped up the complexity and plot twists by 3... 😉

[@Loked420]

This is one of those shows where I'd love to watch your reactions to a rewatch of the show once you've seen everything. It could be fun to see you guys make connections that you didn't know to look for the first time around.

[@ItzWilson2]

I’d love to do that too but I don’t think I’d put the time in for that haha maybe we do a bonus vid for like hidden details and connections that we may have missed or would understand once we’ve finished

[@crazysecondname]

I found your dark reactions yesterday and they're so good I am so excited for you to experience this show. and also I need to mention this idk if someone already did. if so feel free to ignore this^^ but like season 1 came out in december 2017 and the very first scene was set on 21st june 2019. season 2 came out on 21st june 2019 and they mentioned the last cycle starting on the 27th june 2020. season 3 came out on 27th june 2020. it has been 4 years and everytime I think about dark I also think about that. like that's still such an impressive thing to do for me

[@ItzWilson2]

Thank you so much! I did hear about it but it is really awesome, I love stuff like that haha

[@rini6]

Nuclear power was phased out in Germany. That’s why they are closing the plant. This is not a spoiler since the show doesn’t explain it but assumes you know that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Germany

[@b3z3jm3nny]

Oh wow fully didn’t know that context and I’ve seen the show so many times haha, never thought to look that up - thanks!

[@ItzWilson2]

Ohhh fascinating thank you!

[@rosu3870]

The political reasons are indeed not explained in detail by the show, but the decommissioning of the power plant because of a governmental decision is already told in episode 1x1. It's told to the audience in a radio announcement in the scene where Ines Kahnwald is opening the wooden box where she kept her son's mysterious suicide letter. She walks around her living room while listening to the radio, then she looks out of the window and watches the power plant in the distance.

[@ScarredRomeo]

Wait until you see what really caused the origin and started the chain of events in the last season. Your mind will be blown. There’s some Biblical/Christian symbolism with the names: Adam, Noah, Jonas (Jonah), etc. Jonah is the Biblical prophet who was lost at sea and got swallowed by the whale and was stuck in it for a while. Also, the pendant has a picture of St. Christopher on it, who is the patron saint of travelers. Time travel is always confusing since it’s inherently paradoxical. At the beginning of the show Mikkel the adult knows that he is Mikkel the child who got trapped in 1986 and became the father of Jonas and that he was the son of Ulrich, but he keeps it all to himself for so many years (as the letter in the first season showed) because it’s a crazy story. But no one knows how and when the time loop all started which is what they’re all trying to figure out so they can stop it. At the end of the series, you see how, where and when the origin “started”.

[@jasonh0812]

You are my 12th channel to watch reacting to this brilliant show. Love watching your curious confusion but eagerness to see what's coming next.

Thanks so much for watching along, proud to be on that list!!

[@connectingthedots100]

​@@jakethomas2598 There are always new angles to this story. It's caleidoscopic. Dark gives really early clues and spells it out much later. So people deduct things at different times in different ways. 😊

[@davidmunro546]

@@jakethomas2598the normies were my first reactors to this show. These guys are matching the analysis and attention so far. I’ve tried watching some other reactors but they don’t pay enough attention and are way off with their questions and analysis. I’ve recommended this show to a couple of reactors but they have yet to do it because SoA or GoT or peaky blinders won their polls. As good as they shows are, Dark is next level for reactions.

[@michaelklaus]

Good that you remembered to pick the proper subtitles. The CC simply says something along the lines of [speaking French] when the French scientist ia speaking.

[@michaelklaus]

21:00 wihtout checking back I think they mention during the walk and talk that they moved the barrels; but as we can see in the next scene they moved them from the truck to the cool down pool that they fill up; ... oh I see; yeah... they talked about bringing the barrels back in and that is a cool down pool or rather a spent fuel pool (had to look up the term); so when the reactors were still fully operational the used rods of nuclear meaterial were brought here to cool down in water which reduces not only the heat but the ionizing radiation; now that they are shutting down the power plant they will fill up these pools with concrete because they are now themselves ionized; which is also what 'whatshisface' talks to Aleksander about: if anyone comes to check for the radiation levels here, they will not suspect radioactive waste to be disposed here, as the levels will be higher due to the aforementioned use of the pool; I am pretty sure I learned these things in school, btw.

[@SubKween]

The biblical references and the analogies of faith are wild in this show. So many people are manipulated and misled because of faith. Hot take: religion is the same thing. Tons of people being manipulated because of their faith.

[@ItzWilson2]

I think you hit the nail on the head

[@Whistler4u]

Not to brag but I knew right away who that was in the first scene. I think it was great casting.

[@ItzWilson2]

Not a brag at all, just props to the casting department! 😂

[@jarbaslol]

For me season 2 is the best of all

[@mushfiqurrahman8810]

Why are you guys so late to the party!

[@ItzWilson2]

I’m ashamed of myself!! Happy to be here now 😂
