Save your time and don't bother
It's got a following because of fans of Dark, which I haven't seen, but it is as tedious and pointless as anything I can remember in a while. Go rewatch the original Lost series if you need your fix in hidden back stories. At least those characters were developed and you cared about some of then, unlike this exercise in terrible pretentious screenwriting.
The characters, all coming from different countries with their own secrets, could have been interesting, but they're all just window dressing. Whatever you might be interested won't likely be developed because the creators of this are too in love with their atmospheric gimmicks and annoying sound track. Maybe if you love steam punk it might at least appeal to your aesthetic.
Just hate watching the last episode to see how bad it finally is at this point.
Hope Street: Episode #1.9 (2022)
Subtitle fail
As with some other Irish shows, we use subtitles to get the full dialogue. It's been good up to this episode but they must have shifted to voice recognition software or someone who was impaired at work because they are terrible in this episode--among other things putting in expletives that aren't ever in this show.
The Sinner (2017)
Everyone is Unlikable
(Season 3 only--I won't be watching more) Without spoiling anything, I can say that every character behaves like an idiot and in real life no police force would let Harry continue employment. Plus his "partner" is the neediest, most irrelevant cop ever.
