May you live in interesting times / Willkommen in der Zukunft
Dark is a three-season German-language Netflix show that was produced and released between 2017 and 2020. It's a sci-fi show that centralizes time travel, and all the various causal pickles you end up in when you could end up both Marty McFly senior and junior. It's a lot of fun. The casting of characters at different ages is, mwah, amazing. A delight.
The show takes place in a bunch of different times. At one point in the show's near future, a nuclear apocalypse happens. We spend a lot of plot time trying to avert this. Characterizations are defined by how they react to it. The show mostly asks: do we have free will? It mostly answers: not if we can't change our desires. Blah blah.
Anyway. The show was filmed pre-covid, and now we're all living in this very weird covid reality. And the show is a pre-covid artifact about some imagined terrible dystopia. Hm.
Anyway, hello 👋
So I really recommend Dark. It's so fun. Maybe I'll make a post about my Covid Lifestyle, and recommend all my other new hobbies.
Either way, I found my SSH keys for this blog (only took me a year!) and so new content is forthcoming. 🎉
