Maybe it's a case of the Dark creators trying to outsmart the audience and the fans with their endless theories, but in doing so, Dark season 3 prioritises surprise over internal logic. Deconstructing Dark's takeaway towards the end is a curious choice, not least because it negates what Dark has been trying to say since the beginning, but also because it helps bring about what's bound to be a polarising end. Assuming you've followed Dark's early concepts well, you'll see the twist coming all season long. That holds true on much of Dark season 3 - also, the final season - as you would expect, but it's strangely upended with the help of a late-game twist. Instead, Dark's universe - now, a multiverse - is governed by the laws of destiny and fate, as oft espoused by the older, wiser versions of its time travellers. That would mean there is no free-will, per se. Or rather, so do its husband-wife creator duo Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, who serve as the director and writer, respectively, on every Dark episode. In short, Dark seemingly believes in determinism. But every single time they tried to alter their reality, they merely helped bring about what they had set out to change. During the first two seasons, many of its time-travelling characters promised they would fix everything in the future by changing something in the past. Proceed at your own risk, if you don't want to have some parts of Dark season 3 spoiled for you.Įxcept Dark has repeatedly refuted the idea that the past can be changed. Thematic spoilers and veiled references to storylines ahead. SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't seen Dark season 3, you might wish to stop now. It essentially blew up Dark's central conceit, for one possible time travel theory - used in a lot of modern fiction, including Avengers: Endgame - states that multiple realities are the result of toying with the past. That changed at the end of season 2 with Martha Nielsen's (Lisa Vicari) death, when a Martha with bangs - let's call her alt-Martha - showed up out of nowhere, and told her puzzled and grieving love Jonas Kahnwald (Louis Hofmann) that she was from another world. But for its first two seasons, even as Dark explored the many facets of time travel in confounding yet mesmerising ways, it refused to entertain the discussion of parallel worlds.
