@rasms I totally agree with you on the "struggle to remember who everyone was" but I think that's also what makes the (family, love, etc.) relationships revelations even more enthusiastic. Cause in almost every one of those revelation moments you are surprised by yourself realizing "Wait a minute! That is also the father/son/whatever of X!! And so that means Y!". I find this awesome!

I literally had no idea what this show was about when I started the first season. I thought I'm about to watch just some dark-themed crime series but no.. not even close. It's a masterpiece. Outstandingly written and acted. Also, the soundtrack is brilliantly picked! This is easily one of my all time favorite shows from now on. I'm so happy I chose to watch this.
Update after watching the series finale:
After the second season, when I wrote this review the first time, I had dropped one star because of the complexity. Yes, I struggled a lot trying to remember who everyone was, and it didn't really get much easier until the very last episodes. The character relations in this show are something else.
But now, after seeing the finale, I think this show definitely deserves 10 out of 10. The final season provided a very satisfying ending for the show. And piece by piece, they actually managed to untangle the complexity in a wonderful way. Kudos to the writers for creating such a clever, complex yet still surprisingly clean story. And without forgetting to mention, the story truly lived up to its name. It is dark, very dark but still beautiful.
