Darkness
This show is the epitome of evidence board
This is one of my favorite sci-fi dramas on Netflix that I couldn’t stop watching until it finished its three-season run. Darkness a German time travel thriller that shares some similarities to Netflix’s golden child, Stranger Things. A complex web of timelines follows an ensemble of four intertwined families in the small town of Winden, whose lives are thrown into chaos after mysterious disappearances and unsolved murders. Spanning multiple timelines, the story takes you through a rollercoaster of mysterious disappearances, time machines, and events involving a cave that holds more secrets than Winden’s inhabitants.
