i always thought jonas was a good name, goodbye one of the best shows
A perfect ending to a perfectly scripted and perfectly planned show.
ENDING IMO
I think , once they prevent the deaths and time-travel from being invented, Jonas'(Split Reality 1) and Martha's(Split Reality 2) universes(realities) are annihilated, the Scientist's "Original reality" splits/branches again, to form another "3rd" Split Reality which is the one shown in the end.
Since "Endings are beginnings and beginnings are endings or everything is predetermined and past/future can't be changed", this would make the most sense without breaking the show's rule because if the Scientist didn't try to invent time Travel, there wouldn't be 2 split realities and with that no Jonas or Martha coming to change the past, and if they didn't come, he would invent time Travel, a Paradox.
So the original reality still exists alongside the new 3rd reality. However Jonas and Martha are erased from existence since their universes no longer exist.
Hannah deciding to name the unborn child 'Jonas' was also a nice way to spare us a completely sad ending.
But hey who knows! The series is open for multiple interpretations.
I half expected Jonas and Martha materialising in the road to actually cause the car to crash, in turn causing the clock maker to build his machine and create the knot, causing the cycle to start again.
Nice ending to a great show all the same. However, I think I would definitely benefit from watching all three seasons back to back at some point. I'm sure there are pieces that I missed, due to the complexity of the story.
Reminded me a lot of "The Leftovers" Finale. Both complex shows with a lot of things happening (and a lot of stuff you don't understand immedialty), but at the end, you know what was always the most important aspect. Dark is a Masterpiece and the best Netflix best show.
Masterpiece. Simple as that.
Writing. Directing. Cinematography. Casting. Acting. Soundtrack. Everything is perfect.
I'm going to miss the beautiful music montages at the end.
I take back everything I said before.
Yeah, things were mega-ultra-frustratingly-complicated, but this finale makes up for it all. It cleans up the mess with a clear-cut answer: these two worlds of wild connections and repeats were the product of one genius simply wanting his family back. And — ultimately — he succeeded! With a little help from our cast of characters, particularly Jonas, Martha, and Claudia (the kween who truly figured it all out).
This final episode was beautiful. I loved the lighting effects. I loved the final “dissolving” moments with all of our characters realizing the knot was untied. The moment with Jonas and Martha saving the family from the car wreck was incredibly heartwarming, as was the family’s reunion with Tannhaus. I loved how the colors were so much brighter in the origin world... the real world. It just all came together very well.
But who was that older man in the photo with Claudia and Regina? Egon? And what were they toasting Regina for? And what happened to Wöller last summer?!
It was also great to see everyone happy at the dinner table! And to see Peter living his best true life!! It dawned on me that the Nielsens never existed in the real world (good luck wrapping your brain around that if you haven’t yet). I’m sure that there’s so much more I didn’t pick up on! Perhaps this show was smarter than I ever gave it credit for.
The journey was confusing for sure, but when is time travel not? I’m officially giving ‘Dark’ all the praises. Kudos!
my mind is blown and my ears are ringing.
damn that was so beautiful.
love the part when it kinda Interstellar and then kinda Infinity Wars
oh my god this was amazing. a perfect ending of this truly amazing show.
After two seasons in which a singular and original universe has been built, a kind of vital labyrinth, the third season had the difficult mission of bringing all these plots together and solving the questions that had been asked.
In the first episodes, the introduction of new temporal paths seemed to further complicate the story, and this new contribution was certainly not strictly necessary. But step by step the writers have been developing a common thread that has led us to a beautiful and spectacular finale, although they have taken the easier path for it.
"Dark" is undoubtedly one of the best European series created in recent years, which has managed to stop at just the right time.
I imagine what if Martha and Jonas arrives in the middle of the road and they cause the death of Marek, his wife and daughter, and everything's going to loop again and again and again.... :D:D:D
What a wonderful finale. Amazing work from the writers, the cast and everyone else involved. They managed to create such a clever, complex yet still a surprisingly clean story. I enjoyed the whole journey, and I loved that Dark really made me use my brain like no other show in this world.
This finale completed my experience with a satisfying ending. After the end credits started rolling, I actually didn't have any questions left. I see why this can be a bit unrewarding conclusion to some, it feeling quite straightforward and simple after all the complex twists they've offered througout the series. However, I think they wrapped up the story in a beautiful way, and at least I'm more than happy with this ending.
Like many of the best series, it's impossible to wrap things up perfectly while maintaining the drama. It wasn't a perfect ending, but it was elegant in its simplicity.
Some top level trolling by the showrunners that, after nearly 30 episodes of dense, near incomprehensible plot and heavy science and philosophy, the entire knot was undone by two lovers standing on a road in the rain and someone else sort of believing they're angels.
A beautiful series, even if it got too complicated for its own good at times. I'll miss it.
I feel like this is the first show or movie involving time travel (and multiverse!) without any plot holes and time paradoxes overseen by the writers. You can see the story was very carefully built. Kudos to the creators!
That said, I still had to do some research to understand how did Claudia discover the origin world. I feel like that could have been better explained in this episode. But that's ok, that didn't take away the brilliance of the show for me.
Great story, casting and all. Dark is now one of my favorite series!
Very satisfying and well done ending. If only Game of Thrones could have has this level of writing of quality writing :sweat_smile:
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all and leave forever
What's done is done, it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again, my world is ending...
I wish, that I could turn back time
Cos now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from those you love
I know, we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that it's killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down...
Throughout this season I was getting a little tired of having to read Wikipedia after watching each episode because I couldn’t help feeling that I wasn’t fully understanding what was happening. Everything was abstract and confusing to me. Who is this man with the broken lip? What was the point of introducing Eve? What’s part of Jonas' world and what’s part of Martha's?
Despite it all I’ve got to say this is one of the most perfect endings I’ve watched recently. The way everything made sense in the last two episodes was incredible! I’m really glad I didn’t give up on this show.
"Mr Stark, I dont feel so good..."
Perfect finale.
This was such a beautiful end to a beautiful series. This show really set the bar high and will definitely go as one of, if not the greatest.
It was a Love story.
The series finale. It was a Love story....
One particular song is going to be listened to a lot over the next few days... :)
I've been thinking of a name for my cat which will arrive in a couple of weeks. Ending the show that way I've decided now. Jonas it is.
Am I the only one who is disappointed with the finale?
So I guess we'll never know what happened to his eye.
On a serious note, this was a solid finale, but it was not without a couple of cop-outs along the way. Still, it was thoroughly enjoyable, and after watching it in English in order to ensure that I missed as little as possible, I plan to rewatch it sometime soon in the original German.
So, Claudia wins Dark, not Adam, not Eve
So, basically, Tannhaus created the break, Jonas/Adam and Martha/Eva perpetuated it, and everyone else suffered through this ultimate twist on Greek tragedy, all until Claudia finally figured out where the original break was. And we all felt our brains stretched and twisted trying to follow all of the convolutions that a bunch of time-traveling breaks and perpetuations would cause, despite what all the other time-travel stories have told us.
Interesting at the end to see some of who would still have existed without all the mad timeloop feedback yarnballing the family trees (and thinking through why they're still there and others aren't), and that Hannah would be the one to somehow Kenobi-sense the millions of voices crying out in release...
Daaaamn.
There was probably no way to wrap up all of that interwoven complexity in a way that would make all viewers happy, but I'm at least satisfied that this wrap-up make some sense and tied (so to speak) up the loose ends, despite the loss of some characters that will now never be. Well done.
Reading the good reviews for the finale cemented the feeling that I'm actually in the mirror verse and have been watching a different show than everyone else. Unbelievably overrated. Glad this terrible mess is over.
The most unexpected ending of a Show in 33 or 66 years !
A decent conclusion to a beautifully crafted and incredibly complicated tragedy.
The three sisters of fate (and the entire cast and crew of the show) laboured very hard on this family, they deserve a vacation, lol. My only real nit pick is that with all the genetic overlapping, I'm surprised there weren't more visible disabilities and deformities, aside from some deafness here and a cleft palate there.
Infinite kudos to this goodmess.
a perfect ending for a perfect tv show
Masterpiece :heart: one of my top shows ever :heart::heart::heart:great acting from all the actors.. great finale with such thrilling romance between Unas & Martha... loved that the complexity of this show author ll put in it place & understood everything
Really good series finale to an exceptional show. You definitely need to watch it as one piece and not three individual seasons as it‘s much too complicated to understand everything when watching it separately.
Amazing show.
But I'm not really into happy ending and I was certain it wouldn't be one. I thought Jonas & Marta would the cause of Tannhaus' family's death.... I was really expecting this paradox but unfortunately, paradise is the true answer, I guess!
Anyway, what an amazing ride! The soundtrack was incredible as well!

I have no words to describe this season finale. It was just amazing.
