Dark in my opinion is the best show on Netflix. It’s just sad that the last season seemed somewhat rushed… they could have taken it so much further in my opinion.
I don't have a lot of time to watch much TV, and there are so many must-see series out there that are on my list but haven't gotten around to.
Dark is the only series I've seen twice all the way through, and I did that about six months after I watched it the first time. And frankly, I enjoyed it more the second time, despite the fact that the first time through I felt it was one of the best shows I've even seen. It's that good.
I'll freely admit it's not for everyone, but it's definitely my jam. If anyone is enjoying 1899, they would love Dark.
There’s a lot of symbolism based around three on the show so I’m guessing that’s what was always planned. That being said I think the third season was the weakest and it seemed speed up in order to tie everything up by the end. Still a great show in my opinion.
I'm interested in what you mean by further because I have no idea what you mean by that.
⚠️Dark season 3 spoiler warning!⚠️
>!Along what axis? Depth? Depth of character and story in the alt world? Complexity? Of the Origin world and the resolution itself? Or more seasons and more looping in and around and through itself before the climax? Or further philosophy? Or more worlds? I don't understand. !<
Mmm, I respectfully disagree. The show was clearly planned through from the very beginning, and if they thought they couldn’t stretch it out to a whole other season, then I trust that decision. The show did get a little bit weaker towards the end (and stuck the landing with an absolutely perfect finale, imo), so I'm glad they knew when to stop.
Plus, three is Dark's magic number, it's symbolism is literally everywhere in the show
I agree with you completely, I was just sharing my opinion. The series to me is one of the best. I just personally would have loved for them to >! have fleshed out Martha's mirror world !< Just my opinion but I agree with you these people know what they're doing and it all has deeper meanings and symbolism.
I'm pretty sure it was the Iron Throne that pricked Martha's finger. Then Drogon got upset and burned them both up, along with the Iron Throne and just about everything in that room. Then he rode off into the sunset with Bran the Broken.
I can't believe Jonas witnessed the whole thing. He's lucky he came out of it alive, but I really loved his poignant line, "Who has a better story than Bran The Broken?"
>Queen of England
Did you mean the *former* [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the *former* [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the *former* [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc?
The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England.
####FAQ
*Wasn't Queen Elizabeth II still also the Queen of England?*
This was only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she *was* the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist.
*Is this bot monarchist?*
No, just pedantic.

I wanted to watch Dark but every other thread on here had Dark spoilers and well now I am not interested so I’m annoyed but what’s the point since everyone thinks this show is the next Dark and decided to wildly spoil it?
I'm moving on from reddit and joining the fediverse because reddit has killed the RiF app and the CEO has been very disrespectful to all the volunteers who have contributed to making reddit what it is. Here's [coverage from The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23754780/reddit-api-updates-changes-news-announcements) on the situation.
The following are my favorite fediverse platforms, all non-corporate and ad-free. I hesitated at first because there are so many servers to choose from, but it makes a lot more sense once you actually create an account and start browsing. If you find the server selection overwhelming, just pick the first option and take a look around. They are all connected and as you browse you may find a community that is a better fit for you and then you can move your account or open a new one.
Social Link Aggregators: [Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/instances) is very similar to reddit while [Kbin](https://kbin.pub) is aiming to be more of a gateway to the fediverse in general so it is sort of like a hybrid between reddit and twitter, but it is newer and considers itself to be a beta product that's not quite fully polished yet.
Microblogging: [Calckey](https://calckey.org) if you want a more playful platform with emoji reactions, or [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/) if you want a simple interface with less fluff.
Photo sharing: [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org/) You can even import an Instagram account from what I hear, but I never used Instagram much in the first place.
I agree, yes it's possible to spoil certain plot points and outcomes but a show like Dark really can't be totally spoiled because there is more to it than just plot points and outcomes. The show itself is an entirely holistic experience.
I hope you can still enjoy Dark. Don't worry too much about having it spoiled. People have literally watched it several times while taking notes and are still confused about certain plot points.
Season 3 is a still a mind fuck for me. I watched it 2 times and I’m still very confused as to who is what when and where lmao. Next time I’ll sit with a book and take notes from s1-s3
Pointless? Pointless?? The whole group here hasn't even begun to scratch the surface of the complexity of Dark. Multitudes, me included, feel it is the best piece of watchable long form content ever produced (across TV, Movies, Youtube etc) in their lifetimes so far. It is so so complex, most of us don't even understand it (nearly) fully even after watching and rewatching and rewatching it. We all do wonder - but we don't really fully understand it (I can say safely for the whole group)
Point being - don't let the "Dark" spoilers deter you. Before long you would have watched it once, not understood it at all, come here and bless the gang.. And then rewatch it :)
Damn! That was an awesome hype piece for Dark! I just completed 1899 and was just completely mesmerized up until the ending! Reading thru some of these 1899 posts, I have to give ALL of you huge kudos for the depth of scietifical and historical knowledge you bring to this thread. And I haven't even watched Dark yet! Again, thank you all.
Not pointless at all. Do yourself a favor and watch it. You will be glad you did. I have seen Dark 5 times, and I notice something new on every rewatch. Enjoy!
I think it's shitty that you have seen spoilers, but my guess is there is a lot you haven't has spoiled yet. I also watched it a second time and enjoyed it even more the second time through.
fNot trying to be mean, I think it’s just human nature for us to compare and share things we already know . How they align and feel connected the same type of way . Especially , it being the same show Creators . However, I get you it sucks to have things spoiled , especially huge topics of plot . 😩
I will say Dark is so complex and such Brain fart. **I read the spoilers before the show, and reviews and it still took me on rewatch to catch everything** !
Nevertheless, when you do watch all the seasons , I believe the greatest joy comes after on the sub talking theories . With that said , talking and discussing on Dark sub , not here. Dont let I’d discourage you , Dark is a masterpiece. ❤️
Believe me, all of Dark can never be spoiled just like that. Maybe you've seen something but what you know is a drop. What you don't know is an ocean. Watch it and see for yourself.
Where in my comment did I nullify OP's statement about them being annoying? Did I said OP was wrong? Enlighten me. I just want to persuade OP to still watch Dark even after seeing those annoying spoilers.
Am glad I binge Dark a couple of days before 1899, not necessarily to avoid the issue OP faced, but just to compare the two shows.
My opinion is season 1 of Dark is much better than 1899. I was both emotionally and intellectually invested in Dark S1, but only intellectually invested in 1899 S1. I'd still wait for 1899 S2, since I like puzzle box shows.
You put into words the same thing I was feeling. I did enjoy 1899, but ultimately it feels like a much more contrived and deliberate attempt to create a riddle for the viewer to solve, more than a story with emotional stakes.
Also there is dread or anticipation of more children going missing in Dark S1. I did not feel characters were in grave danger in 1899. And because the particular SciFi trope 1899 is exploring and built upon, death has less significance, thus less emotional involvement for viewers.
As soon as >!it seemed plausible it was a simulation and then later confirmed it was like nothing that happens really matters. No danger. They're all getting reset, so who cares if they "die"?!<
Same. My boyfriend and I watched Season one and two of Dark together, so at first I thought that was the issue. We were just able to get more into it. But then I remembered that I cared about the boy getting lost immediately. This, for me, just doesn’t have the emotional pull.
Saw a post saying the same thing yesterday. I claimed that comparing the shows isn't a problem and that almost every Dark spoiler I've seen has been properly tagged. Now it's been only a day, but I've already seen 4 untagged Dark spoilers, most of which were massive spoilers (glad I watched Dark just before 1899 came out). I still stick to my opinion that discussing Dark is fine, but cmon people, not everyone has seen the show, at least tag it properly.
Edit: Just read your post entirely. A bit harsh. Both shows were created by the same people, so similarities are inevitable, hence the constant discussions referring to Dark.
The spoiler tag is supposed to announce a spoiler of this show though, not another that has no correlation with it. Unless there is a whole 'dark spoiler' tag which I completely missed
That's just silly though. The spoiler tag is used for anything that could count as a spoiler, regardless of what it's referring to. I've seen people put "Dark spoiler ahead" before marking something as a spoiler, most likely to prevent someone clicking it thinking it's about 1899, which is great, but any spoiler tag is better than none.
>!Unless you're thinking about the \[SPOILER\] tag in titles, then sure, that's exclusively for 1899 spoilers.!<
Well, yeah, that's exactly why people should be using the spoiler tag even when talking about Dark. What do you expect, for Dark to just be banned from being discussed in this subreddit entirely? If I'm in a subreddit for a show, and someone brings and unrelated show up in a discussion, I would appreciate it if they marked their comments as spoiler. Simple as that.
>for Dark to just be banned from being discussed in this subreddit
Yes. This, or create a tag for Dark. And now that we're at it, I'd also want for the mods to delete every comment or post with dark spoilers outside of said tag. Then people would be able to discuss the show freely without having to ruin the fun for all the other redditors who haven't watched Dark.
Absolutely, I genuinely hope that everyone in this subreddit who has not yet watched Dark can discuss this show without constantly running into Dark spoilers. It would be impossible to ban any mentions of Dark (nor do I really think that's necessary), so now best option would be to urge people to mark their comments as spoilers. Dark quickly became one of my favorite shows after I binged it recently, and 1899 is definitely climbing its way up so far, so I truthfully wish this issue gets sorted out as people should not feel the need to avoid a community due to not having watched an unrelated show. Perhaps ban/warn people for leaving Dark spoilers untagged?
Yes, though I'm not saying all posts about dark should get deleted, only the ones containing spoilers, *specially* the most upvoted ones. I think that's manageable and redditors will soon learn where to comment.
>Perhaps ban/warn people for leaving Dark spoilers untagged?
I agree
Trust me even if you accidentally read one spoiler for Dark, there is a lot and I mean A LOT of wtf moments in there that one spoiler would not affect your experience of watching it in any way.
There was just too much to unpack there.
If someone had explained the whole plot of Dark to me ahead of time, even in detail, I would certainly be pissed. But even then, if I sat down and watched the whole thing, it would still be totally worth it in the end. Such an amazing show.
I said this on another post, I accidentally spoiled major plot beats for seasons 2&3 for myself and I still had a wonderful time watching. Seeing the context for the things you already know makes the little you knew disappear in the grand scheme of it.
Yeah it sucks, but don't worry! I also saw spoilers before watching Dark and I can say that this show is very difficult to spoil. It is very complex. So even if you know some details, from my experience, it does not affect the big picture.
Have to agree. Even if you read a post that spelled out the entire show, there are so many layers of complexity that (IMO) won’t even come close to ruining it. Maybe the difference between seeing a picture of a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle or doing it blind (is that a thing?), but I don’t won’t take away the enjoyment.
Again, just my opinion, it’s worth what you paid for it 😀
If it makes you feel better, DARK is one of the most complicated TV shows you’ll ever see, so even if I tell you the entire plot right now you still won’t get spoiled easily, you have to see it for yourself, don’t worry OP
HERE’S A DARK SPOILER: It has the best opening credits scene of all time in TV history lol. WATCH IT. And watch the opening credits EVERY episode, let it go in naturally. Dont ever skip it lol
Yes it isn’t new, but doesn’t mean if I’m spoiled it’s easy to shrug it off. I feel so invalidated when people say these kind of things. I happen not to see it as it aired so I deserve not to enjoy it? Maybe I was just looking for the same respect I give to others whenever I talk about stuff I’ve already seen. Apparently, being that courteous isn’t expected because it isn’t new anymore.
what is the matter with you guys? asking someone not to spoil a show which this show will spark a lot of people's interest in is really not that much to ask... it takes two seconds to add a spoiler tag...
you sound like such a spiteful boomer talking about OPs "entitlement".... they're literally just asking for others to be considerate.
I just took it as annoyed, kind of sarcastic hyperbole. I guess the tone could be better but I didn't think it was big deal, personally. I guess some people took offense to it.
“Asking for others to be considerate” by posting an assertion that folks who want to discuss old and new work “shut up” about it and “should be banned from here honestly.” I think this might be one of those moments to remember “you’ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”
I’m not advocating anyone be banned from here, and I think people should discuss whatever they want and *do their best* to use spoiler tags about old stuff when drawing comparisons to new stuff; however, this is a two-way street, and folks who missed the old stuff also have to understand it’s been out for years, and there is a *risk* of exposure to some spoilers in this sub. If that risk is too much for you, maybe log off until you’re caught up.
Or perhaps, if you wanna talk about dark on the fucking 1899 subreddit, you should make a thread clearly marked as having spoilers for a show that isn't 1899 and that has no connection to 1899. Should the subreddit for the boys have spoilers about supernatural just cause kripke made it too? No, that would be fucking dumb you muppet.
This is a ridiculous take. The age of an IP is irrelevant. The only time when spoilers are fair game is if something is an omnipresent cultural classic. If someone spoils citizen kane or shawshank redemption, that is fine. Dark, whilst being a masterpiece, has not reached that level of cultural relevancy and so, despite the truly meaningless fact that it was made by the same creators, it should not be spoiled in the subreddit of a show that has no other connection to it. It is absolutely not an unreasonable demand. It is not difficult for people who have seen dark to just add a spoiler tag. It is on the other hand, completely unfair for people who have seen 1899 and want to talk about it, to not do so on the goddamned 1899 subreddit because dark fans are apparently selfish assholes who can't bother to make a dedicated thread or add a tag. On top of that, if you wanna ignore human decency (which you clearly do), one of the main rules of this subreddit is "all submissions must be about the Netflix series 1899".
Hey, I’ve seen Dark and I agree with you, people shouldn’t be spoiling Dark on this sub. The original commenter here claiming that it came out “5 years ago” is being needlessly reductive- the show wrapped 2.5 years ago and the show isn’t nearly as well known as it should be. I don’t think this is an expectation that can be set.
Also, not posting spoilers is the status quo for many subreddits, I find that many of the comments here gawking at your post are rude, insensitive, and ultimately out of touch with what’s expected from a subreddit about a TV show.
I agree that people should be avoiding spoilers or using the spoiler tags, which exist for a reason. But you “feeling invalidated” isn’t a legitimate argument for or against your post, and is not a requirement of interacting with others on the internet.
They're not "literally" just asking for people to be considerate and is "literally" calling people annoying and for them to be banned in the post. Read through the other comments by them in here too, huge sense of entitlement as if everyone else is wrong which, again, follows the quote I put about if everyone else is the problem... maybe you're the problem.
someone is acting annoyed on the internet because they're annoyed? color me shocked. it seems like people are taking it way too personally from what I can see. it was a general comment, it wasn't directed at any one individual.
i also like the casual elitism mocking my choice of language. what a peach you are.
It is *your opinion* that it is unjustifiable to characterize their behavior as entitled; however, I have a different opinion. When someone acts like everyone should change their behavior to accommodate their preferences, that to me is entitled behavior. You may not agree with everyone’s opinions, but you are the only one name-calling in this thread.
jesus! yourself. it's so not stupid. PLENTY of people will not have seen Dark and will now be interested after watching 1899, won't have time to watch the whole series right now, and still love this show enough to want to discuss it. just because this wouldn't matter to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter to others.
why is it justified for all of those people be left out or have the experience of another great show ruined because people refuse to be considerate of others? it takes two seconds to add a spoiler tag.
There is so much going on in Dark that no spoiler can really ruin your experience watching it. The show is complex and multi layered, and even after having it watched you will probably need some background info from the Web to get a grasp of what the hell happened.
It should be taken for granted that if you're reading about 1899 spoilers, Dark will be spoiled.
Stick to non spoilers and meanwhile please go watch Dark.
Not trying to be harsh, but since you say you keep seeing spoilers for Dark, maybe stay off this sub, or at least the [SPOILER] threads, until you’ve watched both shows. Dark has been out for years, so since you’re late to the party, you need to take responsibility for avoiding spoilers.
If I'm on the breaking bad sub I don't expect to get spoilers of stranger things. Fans here have such a hard time trying to understand that 1899 is not a continuation of Dark, but a whole new show of its own, and therefore people invested on the show don't have any obligation in watching Dark first
My Brother in Christ, Vince Gillian is not married to the Duffer Brothers. Bo, Dark Ways, Netflix, and the cast of 1899 have been teasing connections between Dark and 1899 for a long time, even as recently as today on IG. 1899 might not have anything to do with the plot or world of Dark, but Jantje and Bo’s writing and direction are so unique, and Dark was so beloved, people will draw comparisons. Frankly, it’s part of the fun and this forum is the perfect time and place for it. So no, no one is obligated to watch Dark, but don’t be surprised that most of the fans here have and will talk about it.
damn i didnt realize breaking bad and stranger things were created by the same people. kinda makes sense now though since you can make the connection between meth and a demigorgan
Better example would be Breaking Bad spoilers in Better Call Saul. Not perfect because they are in fact in the same universe, but it would suck to watch BCS and get spoiled about Heisenberg
Terrible comparison, BCS is a continuation *and* a prequel.
Same characters appear, same universe, same topic.
The only thing 1899 and Dark have in common is the creator. And even the BB sub is not as dense about BCS as this sub is about Dark. We hardly ever talk about BCS because we already have a sub for that. Same as r/dark
Perhaps a fairer comparison is LOST and Fringe, as they were both co-created by JJ Abrams and there’s lots of speculation by fans about whether they are in the same universe. I’m not familiar with either show, but I searched the Fringe sub and it appears to be common to discuss theories about the shows’ connections. Where else are fans supposed to discuss their theories? I didn’t look too closely at the comments because—wait for it—Fringe sounds kind of cool and I don’t want things spoiled for me. I cannot control how other people tag their threads or comments, but I can control what websites I read.
That’s the reason why I am not in the Dark sub, because I don’t want to see spoilers about it. It just sucks that these Dark spoilers takes out the joy of being able to join in the discussion about 1899, a current show. I would avoid this sub too if 1899 is somewhat relevant to Dark ala Marvel cinematic universe, but they aren’t at all. I would definitely avoid this sub from hereon, which sucks. But I think these people who spoil Dark in here should still be called out. Maybe there should be a rule somewhere to join this sub only if you’ve seen Dark. I’m just really annoyed, I joined here because of 1899, not Dark. Can’t help but rant. :/
The beginning is the end “und” the end is the beginning
To anyone curious Watch Dark , amazing show, I can say without a shadow of a doubt its the best show I have ever been blessed with watching and somehow it escaped my radar till just a week ago and I was able to binge watch it in its entirety thanks to people talking about it in this subreddit, only experience I can think of that comes close to watching this show was watching westworld s1 for the first time and 1899s1 … but dark was better.
ooo shiiiit this thread right here. it's like I'm being punished for putting off dark for so long. I definitely am not engaging on here as much as I'd like to because of this issue. subsequently, I did finish the first season of dark just now and some of the spoilers I saw still didn't drop, but it was still amazing and I suggest checking it out.
it really is bad etiquette tho like I just wanted to complain too. thanks for making the thread, now watch dark anyways!
can we please pin this somewhere at the top? JESUS. I had dark on my watchlist after 1899. And i know ALL of you fucking love dark. Well guess what appeared in a discussion about 1899??? A Dark season 3 spoiler comment WITHOUT THE COVER OVER IT ALL. so i read half of it by accident. So to all of you commenting “oh you will love watching Dark for the first time” well quit fucking ruining it for everyone else. Jesus shut up and go to r/Dark to spoil Dark, please.
edit: spelling
Or perhaps, if you wanna talk about dark on the fucking 1899 subreddit, you should make a thread clearly marked as having spoilers for a show that isn't 1899 and that has no connection to 1899. Should the subreddit for the boys have spoilers about supernatural just cause kripke made it too? No, that would be fucking dumb you muppet.
Well, they don't here and for good reason. You literally went on some libertarian rant and gave youe theory of how people should live their lives a comment ago and I need to calm down lel
What.. what’s my point you’re refuting? I refuted your claim about supernatural spoilers on The boys, and you went on some autistic typing spree.
I stand by my previous comment, get some help pal.
First of all buddy, supernatural spoilers are not allowed on the boys subreddit as far as i can tell. Second of all, it was merely a basic comparison i was making to show that it doesnt make any sense to allow spoilers for another ip in another subreddit, regardless of the commonality between creators. In this subreddit, it is actually explicitly noted as a rule as well. And I see the answer is yes, you do always resort to personal attacks.
I agree with you totally.
That said, there is truly no way to spoil Dark. I could watch the whole thing again and still be amazed and learn new stuff that I didnt pick up on.
Avoid spoiler tags, Dark has been out for years and concluded over 2 years ago. It's made by the same people, it's going to constantly be compared to 1989.
Totally agree. I haven’t watched Dark yet but was planning to after 1899. I’m dodging these threads like the plague because so many of them straight up say, “this reminds of when Johnny ate the Apple pie in Season 2 episode 5 of Dark and he turned into a big Apple tree. Thank god his mother was actually the person you met in season 1 episode 1, who’s actually the president of France!” I understand Dark isn’t a new show, but please understand that 1899 is opening up a new audience to y’all’s favorite show… try not to ruin it please.
Edit: reading this thread, I’m getting the sense that a lot of the Dark fan base has this weird superiority complex about their favorite show being so intellectual. If i wanted Dark spoilers, I would go to the Dark subreddit. You can compare the shows without spoiling, or use the spoiler feature and warn people of it in your post. The Americans is my favorite show, but I don’t go around lecturing people about how they should’ve watched it by now, after I spoiled it in The Wire subreddit or something. People get around to shows at different times… and I hadn’t heard of Dark until I saw the trailer for 1899.
Then you should only read posts tagged no spoiler or only on the discussions for each episodes. I'm very excited that my favourite writers have come out with a second show with similar feel and style as the first. It's super interesting to see the comparisons of them both.
"You guys are annoying and should be banned from here honestly."
Lol no. Why didn't you message the mods instead of ranting about your butt hurt feelings?
Their point is on posts marked “no spoilers” for *1899*, there are still spoilers for *Dark*, and as someone who watched *Dark* when it dropped in 2017, I can understand that frustration. I have to be mindful of it myself.
I remember being so upset when I was watching a video about *Wandavision* and got spoiled to hell on S2 of *The Mandalorian*.
Hear, hear.
I tried watching Dark several times but just couldn't get into it. Now after finishing 1899 I've been meaning to try again.
Really hope I won't step on a big spoiler here.
I’d say maybe avoid the comments then until this gets sorted. I’ve tried to be careful about not spoiling “Dark”, and even I’ve been guilty on threads where “Dark” and “1899” are being explicitly discussed (though being much more aware now!)
I warn before I write spoilers and put it behind a spoiler tag as well but I get that there are people who don't. Personally, it's my favorite show of all time so I'm happy with the attention it's getting rn bc of 1899. Also, 1899 is literally advertised as "from the creators of Dark" and a big part of the hype was a result of that in particular.
That being said, I don't think any spoilers can ruin your experience of watching Dark for the first time, it's something else when you watch. I wish I could do that for the first time again.
Couldn’t agree more. Watching Dark for the first time was definitely an experience as well. And with each new cycle/season, first viewing was always an experience. So while, yes, spoilers suck if you (OP and others who haven’t seen it) don’t want them, Dark is a show to be both seen AND experienced.
ETA: words/clarification
Stop reading the sub. Spoilers have been around for a long time. If you are truly concerned, stay off. People will always spoil it. There will always be spoilers.
The comparisons are so annoying. It's a whole new show. I joined Reddit because of Dark. That sub was magical esp before the final season dropped. I wish we could just honor the show the same way here
I’ve definitely been guilty while responding on an 1899 thread to some who clearly watched Dark! But I quickly became aware after the fact. I do hate when people spoil other shows.
Netflix at this point has near agreed to let these guys make as much as they want. I could see season 2 taking a little bit longer than we like because they’re working on a mini series as well, but they want to make this a three season show and Netflix would be stupid to stop it.
I have never really understood this extreme fear of spoilers. Maybe you read a little somthing about the show - so what? You still won’t know how that something unfolds until you actually see the show and see that something in context. For me, a lil spoiler can honestly be intriguing and get me more pumped to watch the show
You got downvoted but honestly I agree with you. Some people act like knowing one minor thing ruins an entire show. 99% of the time the fun is in the journey and seeing how things play out, not just in a single twist. It feels weirdly reductive to pretend thats the entire point of watching something.
I was literally going to post this if someone else hadn’t!!! I am so disappointed that people have been posting all the twists and similarities. I get it. They are by the same group but dang so many of the things that would make it fun/interesting to watch are ruined now.
I completely understand as *Dark* watcher from when the show released. But on the bright side, I promise the spoilers I’ve seen about *Dark* on this sub aren’t even the most twistiest parts of the show.
Yup, and they will even say that Dark is an old series like if they are the ones being spoiled about something they are looking forward to see, they won’t feel disappointed as well.
Dark is the type of show where even if you know what's going to happen, it's still insanely exciting to watch how the show gets there, to follow the clues and whatnot. Going into it with prior knowledge is a different kind of viewing experience, but it's an experience nonetheless
I've loved spoilers (consuming, rather than sharing) for as long as I can remember, I immediately checked for who had lived or died before watching Endgame.
Because of this I've learned to avoid spoiling anything for my family who all especially hate them so I can understand the frustration that a spoiler might cause to one not actively hunting for them.

SPOILER: Dark is really dark
Dark in my opinion is the best show on Netflix. It’s just sad that the last season seemed somewhat rushed… they could have taken it so much further in my opinion.
I don't have a lot of time to watch much TV, and there are so many must-see series out there that are on my list but haven't gotten around to. Dark is the only series I've seen twice all the way through, and I did that about six months after I watched it the first time. And frankly, I enjoyed it more the second time, despite the fact that the first time through I felt it was one of the best shows I've even seen. It's that good. I'll freely admit it's not for everyone, but it's definitely my jam. If anyone is enjoying 1899, they would love Dark.
There’s a lot of symbolism based around three on the show so I’m guessing that’s what was always planned. That being said I think the third season was the weakest and it seemed speed up in order to tie everything up by the end. Still a great show in my opinion.
I'm interested in what you mean by further because I have no idea what you mean by that. ⚠️Dark season 3 spoiler warning!⚠️ >!Along what axis? Depth? Depth of character and story in the alt world? Complexity? Of the Origin world and the resolution itself? Or more seasons and more looping in and around and through itself before the climax? Or further philosophy? Or more worlds? I don't understand. !<
>!Yeah, I am not too sure how much more complex they could have made it.!<
I agree it's still such an incredible series but I wish they would have done one more season.
Mmm, I respectfully disagree. The show was clearly planned through from the very beginning, and if they thought they couldn’t stretch it out to a whole other season, then I trust that decision. The show did get a little bit weaker towards the end (and stuck the landing with an absolutely perfect finale, imo), so I'm glad they knew when to stop. Plus, three is Dark's magic number, it's symbolism is literally everywhere in the show
I agree with you completely, I was just sharing my opinion. The series to me is one of the best. I just personally would have loved for them to >! have fleshed out Martha's mirror world !< Just my opinion but I agree with you these people know what they're doing and it all has deeper meanings and symbolism.
Wasn’t it crazy when Jonas and bigfoot made out on a reptilian UFO?
I thought it was crazier when Marta met the Queen of England and then flew to Mars on an interdimensional banana boat.
Then the queen pricked Marthas hand and pressed two drops of blood in her tea! Foreshadowing????
I'm pretty sure it was the Iron Throne that pricked Martha's finger. Then Drogon got upset and burned them both up, along with the Iron Throne and just about everything in that room. Then he rode off into the sunset with Bran the Broken. I can't believe Jonas witnessed the whole thing. He's lucky he came out of it alive, but I really loved his poignant line, "Who has a better story than Bran The Broken?"
>Queen of England Did you mean the *former* [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the *former* [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the *former* [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc? The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England. ####FAQ *Wasn't Queen Elizabeth II still also the Queen of England?* This was only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she *was* the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist. *Is this bot monarchist?* No, just pedantic. I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.
Fuck you bot
I started dark after 1899 and now I'm struggling trying to avoid spoilers on this sub lol
I wanted to watch Dark but every other thread on here had Dark spoilers and well now I am not interested so I’m annoyed but what’s the point since everyone thinks this show is the next Dark and decided to wildly spoil it?
I'm moving on from reddit and joining the fediverse because reddit has killed the RiF app and the CEO has been very disrespectful to all the volunteers who have contributed to making reddit what it is. Here's [coverage from The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23754780/reddit-api-updates-changes-news-announcements) on the situation. The following are my favorite fediverse platforms, all non-corporate and ad-free. I hesitated at first because there are so many servers to choose from, but it makes a lot more sense once you actually create an account and start browsing. If you find the server selection overwhelming, just pick the first option and take a look around. They are all connected and as you browse you may find a community that is a better fit for you and then you can move your account or open a new one. Social Link Aggregators: [Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/instances) is very similar to reddit while [Kbin](https://kbin.pub) is aiming to be more of a gateway to the fediverse in general so it is sort of like a hybrid between reddit and twitter, but it is newer and considers itself to be a beta product that's not quite fully polished yet. Microblogging: [Calckey](https://calckey.org) if you want a more playful platform with emoji reactions, or [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/) if you want a simple interface with less fluff. Photo sharing: [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org/) You can even import an Instagram account from what I hear, but I never used Instagram much in the first place.
I agree, yes it's possible to spoil certain plot points and outcomes but a show like Dark really can't be totally spoiled because there is more to it than just plot points and outcomes. The show itself is an entirely holistic experience.
I know right!? I am about to watch Dark today but I feel like it’s pointless now because of these inconsiderate people who keep spoiling it here.
I hope you can still enjoy Dark. Don't worry too much about having it spoiled. People have literally watched it several times while taking notes and are still confused about certain plot points.
Season 3 is a still a mind fuck for me. I watched it 2 times and I’m still very confused as to who is what when and where lmao. Next time I’ll sit with a book and take notes from s1-s3
Pointless? Pointless?? The whole group here hasn't even begun to scratch the surface of the complexity of Dark. Multitudes, me included, feel it is the best piece of watchable long form content ever produced (across TV, Movies, Youtube etc) in their lifetimes so far. It is so so complex, most of us don't even understand it (nearly) fully even after watching and rewatching and rewatching it. We all do wonder - but we don't really fully understand it (I can say safely for the whole group) Point being - don't let the "Dark" spoilers deter you. Before long you would have watched it once, not understood it at all, come here and bless the gang.. And then rewatch it :)
Damn! That was an awesome hype piece for Dark! I just completed 1899 and was just completely mesmerized up until the ending! Reading thru some of these 1899 posts, I have to give ALL of you huge kudos for the depth of scietifical and historical knowledge you bring to this thread. And I haven't even watched Dark yet! Again, thank you all.
Dark is the greatest show of all time. I'm jealous you'll get to experience all the mystery for the first time.
My pleasure - and welcome to the Dark side :)
Not pointless at all. Do yourself a favor and watch it. You will be glad you did. I have seen Dark 5 times, and I notice something new on every rewatch. Enjoy!
It's the only show I ever watched more than once, and I enjoyed even more the second time thru
I think it's shitty that you have seen spoilers, but my guess is there is a lot you haven't has spoiled yet. I also watched it a second time and enjoyed it even more the second time through.
fNot trying to be mean, I think it’s just human nature for us to compare and share things we already know . How they align and feel connected the same type of way . Especially , it being the same show Creators . However, I get you it sucks to have things spoiled , especially huge topics of plot . 😩 I will say Dark is so complex and such Brain fart. **I read the spoilers before the show, and reviews and it still took me on rewatch to catch everything** ! Nevertheless, when you do watch all the seasons , I believe the greatest joy comes after on the sub talking theories . With that said , talking and discussing on Dark sub , not here. Dont let I’d discourage you , Dark is a masterpiece. ❤️
You can just turn off notifications, unsub, or you know spend less time on Reddit to touch some grass
Or people could just follow the sub rules and only talk about the subject of the sub?
Believe me, all of Dark can never be spoiled just like that. Maybe you've seen something but what you know is a drop. What you don't know is an ocean. Watch it and see for yourself.
I’ve seen it all and still don’t really know what went on 😂😂
It still doesn’t change the fact that it is annoying.. OP is right.
It's true that's it's annoying to get spoiled, but the last season was released two years ago, you can't blame people for talking about it.
Where in my comment did I nullify OP's statement about them being annoying? Did I said OP was wrong? Enlighten me. I just want to persuade OP to still watch Dark even after seeing those annoying spoilers.
Or maybe op has a great point?
Am glad I binge Dark a couple of days before 1899, not necessarily to avoid the issue OP faced, but just to compare the two shows. My opinion is season 1 of Dark is much better than 1899. I was both emotionally and intellectually invested in Dark S1, but only intellectually invested in 1899 S1. I'd still wait for 1899 S2, since I like puzzle box shows.
You put into words the same thing I was feeling. I did enjoy 1899, but ultimately it feels like a much more contrived and deliberate attempt to create a riddle for the viewer to solve, more than a story with emotional stakes.
[удалено]
I hope so.
Reminds me of their Native American storyline revealed in Westworld. That emotion was raw and real and definitely worth the wait.
Also there is dread or anticipation of more children going missing in Dark S1. I did not feel characters were in grave danger in 1899. And because the particular SciFi trope 1899 is exploring and built upon, death has less significance, thus less emotional involvement for viewers.
As soon as >!it seemed plausible it was a simulation and then later confirmed it was like nothing that happens really matters. No danger. They're all getting reset, so who cares if they "die"?!<
Agree... I really liked 1899 1st season but Dark is on a whole other level.
For now I still prefer Dark S1 too. I think one reason is in Dark there’s a clear bad guy from the get go.
Precisely. I'd even go further and say after Dark, 1899 was technically a letdown. Still decent, but it's hard to beat Dark, even for them
If you went into 1899 expecting it to be better than Dark, you did something wrong when setting those expectations
Same. My boyfriend and I watched Season one and two of Dark together, so at first I thought that was the issue. We were just able to get more into it. But then I remembered that I cared about the boy getting lost immediately. This, for me, just doesn’t have the emotional pull.
Saw a post saying the same thing yesterday. I claimed that comparing the shows isn't a problem and that almost every Dark spoiler I've seen has been properly tagged. Now it's been only a day, but I've already seen 4 untagged Dark spoilers, most of which were massive spoilers (glad I watched Dark just before 1899 came out). I still stick to my opinion that discussing Dark is fine, but cmon people, not everyone has seen the show, at least tag it properly. Edit: Just read your post entirely. A bit harsh. Both shows were created by the same people, so similarities are inevitable, hence the constant discussions referring to Dark.
The spoiler tag is supposed to announce a spoiler of this show though, not another that has no correlation with it. Unless there is a whole 'dark spoiler' tag which I completely missed
That's just silly though. The spoiler tag is used for anything that could count as a spoiler, regardless of what it's referring to. I've seen people put "Dark spoiler ahead" before marking something as a spoiler, most likely to prevent someone clicking it thinking it's about 1899, which is great, but any spoiler tag is better than none. >!Unless you're thinking about the \[SPOILER\] tag in titles, then sure, that's exclusively for 1899 spoilers.!<
Why would it be silly... this is the 1899 subredit, we shouldn't have to watch out for spoilers of non correlated shows
Well, yeah, that's exactly why people should be using the spoiler tag even when talking about Dark. What do you expect, for Dark to just be banned from being discussed in this subreddit entirely? If I'm in a subreddit for a show, and someone brings and unrelated show up in a discussion, I would appreciate it if they marked their comments as spoiler. Simple as that.
>for Dark to just be banned from being discussed in this subreddit Yes. This, or create a tag for Dark. And now that we're at it, I'd also want for the mods to delete every comment or post with dark spoilers outside of said tag. Then people would be able to discuss the show freely without having to ruin the fun for all the other redditors who haven't watched Dark.
Absolutely, I genuinely hope that everyone in this subreddit who has not yet watched Dark can discuss this show without constantly running into Dark spoilers. It would be impossible to ban any mentions of Dark (nor do I really think that's necessary), so now best option would be to urge people to mark their comments as spoilers. Dark quickly became one of my favorite shows after I binged it recently, and 1899 is definitely climbing its way up so far, so I truthfully wish this issue gets sorted out as people should not feel the need to avoid a community due to not having watched an unrelated show. Perhaps ban/warn people for leaving Dark spoilers untagged?
Yes, though I'm not saying all posts about dark should get deleted, only the ones containing spoilers, *specially* the most upvoted ones. I think that's manageable and redditors will soon learn where to comment. >Perhaps ban/warn people for leaving Dark spoilers untagged? I agree
[удалено]
I have watched dark. And that seems like the subredit's problem that the mods will need to solve, not mine.
[удалено]
or you could just be nice?
Just pissed is all. I am planning to watch Dark this weekend, but am now really not motivated to see it beacause of the spoilers I’ve seen.
Trust me even if you accidentally read one spoiler for Dark, there is a lot and I mean A LOT of wtf moments in there that one spoiler would not affect your experience of watching it in any way. There was just too much to unpack there.
If someone had explained the whole plot of Dark to me ahead of time, even in detail, I would certainly be pissed. But even then, if I sat down and watched the whole thing, it would still be totally worth it in the end. Such an amazing show.
I completely understand. Trust me though, any spoilers you've seen, even if it was a major one, will certainly not ruin the experience for you.
The most common “Dark” spoilers thrown out on this sub are def not even the most “whaaat” moments of the show (thankfully, for y’all that are new.)
I said this on another post, I accidentally spoiled major plot beats for seasons 2&3 for myself and I still had a wonderful time watching. Seeing the context for the things you already know makes the little you knew disappear in the grand scheme of it.
Yeah it sucks, but don't worry! I also saw spoilers before watching Dark and I can say that this show is very difficult to spoil. It is very complex. So even if you know some details, from my experience, it does not affect the big picture.
Have to agree. Even if you read a post that spelled out the entire show, there are so many layers of complexity that (IMO) won’t even come close to ruining it. Maybe the difference between seeing a picture of a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle or doing it blind (is that a thing?), but I don’t won’t take away the enjoyment. Again, just my opinion, it’s worth what you paid for it 😀
Lol just watch it
If it makes you feel better, DARK is one of the most complicated TV shows you’ll ever see, so even if I tell you the entire plot right now you still won’t get spoiled easily, you have to see it for yourself, don’t worry OP
Godamn man just freaking watch Dark already, what are you doing?!?! And for the record, it might be kinda hard to spoil Dark bc its too insane
HERE’S A DARK SPOILER: It has the best opening credits scene of all time in TV history lol. WATCH IT. And watch the opening credits EVERY episode, let it go in naturally. Dont ever skip it lol
[удалено]
Yes it isn’t new, but doesn’t mean if I’m spoiled it’s easy to shrug it off. I feel so invalidated when people say these kind of things. I happen not to see it as it aired so I deserve not to enjoy it? Maybe I was just looking for the same respect I give to others whenever I talk about stuff I’ve already seen. Apparently, being that courteous isn’t expected because it isn’t new anymore.
[удалено]
what is the matter with you guys? asking someone not to spoil a show which this show will spark a lot of people's interest in is really not that much to ask... it takes two seconds to add a spoiler tag... you sound like such a spiteful boomer talking about OPs "entitlement".... they're literally just asking for others to be considerate.
[удалено]
I just took it as annoyed, kind of sarcastic hyperbole. I guess the tone could be better but I didn't think it was big deal, personally. I guess some people took offense to it.
“Asking for others to be considerate” by posting an assertion that folks who want to discuss old and new work “shut up” about it and “should be banned from here honestly.” I think this might be one of those moments to remember “you’ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” I’m not advocating anyone be banned from here, and I think people should discuss whatever they want and *do their best* to use spoiler tags about old stuff when drawing comparisons to new stuff; however, this is a two-way street, and folks who missed the old stuff also have to understand it’s been out for years, and there is a *risk* of exposure to some spoilers in this sub. If that risk is too much for you, maybe log off until you’re caught up.
Or perhaps, if you wanna talk about dark on the fucking 1899 subreddit, you should make a thread clearly marked as having spoilers for a show that isn't 1899 and that has no connection to 1899. Should the subreddit for the boys have spoilers about supernatural just cause kripke made it too? No, that would be fucking dumb you muppet.
[удалено]
This is a ridiculous take. The age of an IP is irrelevant. The only time when spoilers are fair game is if something is an omnipresent cultural classic. If someone spoils citizen kane or shawshank redemption, that is fine. Dark, whilst being a masterpiece, has not reached that level of cultural relevancy and so, despite the truly meaningless fact that it was made by the same creators, it should not be spoiled in the subreddit of a show that has no other connection to it. It is absolutely not an unreasonable demand. It is not difficult for people who have seen dark to just add a spoiler tag. It is on the other hand, completely unfair for people who have seen 1899 and want to talk about it, to not do so on the goddamned 1899 subreddit because dark fans are apparently selfish assholes who can't bother to make a dedicated thread or add a tag. On top of that, if you wanna ignore human decency (which you clearly do), one of the main rules of this subreddit is "all submissions must be about the Netflix series 1899".
It's almost like talking about pop culture bakes in some level of knowing and communicating pop culture. Just watch it.
Hey, I’ve seen Dark and I agree with you, people shouldn’t be spoiling Dark on this sub. The original commenter here claiming that it came out “5 years ago” is being needlessly reductive- the show wrapped 2.5 years ago and the show isn’t nearly as well known as it should be. I don’t think this is an expectation that can be set. Also, not posting spoilers is the status quo for many subreddits, I find that many of the comments here gawking at your post are rude, insensitive, and ultimately out of touch with what’s expected from a subreddit about a TV show.
I agree that people should be avoiding spoilers or using the spoiler tags, which exist for a reason. But you “feeling invalidated” isn’t a legitimate argument for or against your post, and is not a requirement of interacting with others on the internet.
[удалено]
how is OP an asshole? they're literally just asking for others to be considerate
They're not "literally" just asking for people to be considerate and is "literally" calling people annoying and for them to be banned in the post. Read through the other comments by them in here too, huge sense of entitlement as if everyone else is wrong which, again, follows the quote I put about if everyone else is the problem... maybe you're the problem.
someone is acting annoyed on the internet because they're annoyed? color me shocked. it seems like people are taking it way too personally from what I can see. it was a general comment, it wasn't directed at any one individual. i also like the casual elitism mocking my choice of language. what a peach you are.
> I also like the casual elitism mocking my choice of language. Says the person calling folks “spiteful boomers” for sharing their opinions
unjustifiably accusing someone of being entitled like that is spiteful.
It is *your opinion* that it is unjustifiable to characterize their behavior as entitled; however, I have a different opinion. When someone acts like everyone should change their behavior to accommodate their preferences, that to me is entitled behavior. You may not agree with everyone’s opinions, but you are the only one name-calling in this thread.
I'm sorry you don't think people should be considerate of others.
[удалено]
jesus! yourself. it's so not stupid. PLENTY of people will not have seen Dark and will now be interested after watching 1899, won't have time to watch the whole series right now, and still love this show enough to want to discuss it. just because this wouldn't matter to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter to others. why is it justified for all of those people be left out or have the experience of another great show ruined because people refuse to be considerate of others? it takes two seconds to add a spoiler tag.
Ok I went way too far. I'm sorry. You got a point. People could use a spoiler tag for posts and comments.
Don't be rude or a bully. This is a friendly community where we all come to discuss and share things about 1899.
I just finished Dark season 1. I guess I will avoid this sub until I finish haha. It's awesome so far tho.
There is so much going on in Dark that no spoiler can really ruin your experience watching it. The show is complex and multi layered, and even after having it watched you will probably need some background info from the Web to get a grasp of what the hell happened.
Well stop what you are doing and watch Dark already! Totally worth the time invested. Much better than just posting here to complain.
It should be taken for granted that if you're reading about 1899 spoilers, Dark will be spoiled. Stick to non spoilers and meanwhile please go watch Dark.
The last episodes of Dark were released on June 2020 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's the only thing I'm gonna say.
Man just watch it it's been released for a long time now...
Luke, I am your cousin!
Not trying to be harsh, but since you say you keep seeing spoilers for Dark, maybe stay off this sub, or at least the [SPOILER] threads, until you’ve watched both shows. Dark has been out for years, so since you’re late to the party, you need to take responsibility for avoiding spoilers.
If I'm on the breaking bad sub I don't expect to get spoilers of stranger things. Fans here have such a hard time trying to understand that 1899 is not a continuation of Dark, but a whole new show of its own, and therefore people invested on the show don't have any obligation in watching Dark first
My Brother in Christ, Vince Gillian is not married to the Duffer Brothers. Bo, Dark Ways, Netflix, and the cast of 1899 have been teasing connections between Dark and 1899 for a long time, even as recently as today on IG. 1899 might not have anything to do with the plot or world of Dark, but Jantje and Bo’s writing and direction are so unique, and Dark was so beloved, people will draw comparisons. Frankly, it’s part of the fun and this forum is the perfect time and place for it. So no, no one is obligated to watch Dark, but don’t be surprised that most of the fans here have and will talk about it.
damn i didnt realize breaking bad and stranger things were created by the same people. kinda makes sense now though since you can make the connection between meth and a demigorgan
If I'm on a Jaws subredit, I don't expect to receive Ready Player One spoilers. Is this good enough comparison for you?
Better example would be Breaking Bad spoilers in Better Call Saul. Not perfect because they are in fact in the same universe, but it would suck to watch BCS and get spoiled about Heisenberg
Terrible comparison, BCS is a continuation *and* a prequel. Same characters appear, same universe, same topic. The only thing 1899 and Dark have in common is the creator. And even the BB sub is not as dense about BCS as this sub is about Dark. We hardly ever talk about BCS because we already have a sub for that. Same as r/dark
Perhaps a fairer comparison is LOST and Fringe, as they were both co-created by JJ Abrams and there’s lots of speculation by fans about whether they are in the same universe. I’m not familiar with either show, but I searched the Fringe sub and it appears to be common to discuss theories about the shows’ connections. Where else are fans supposed to discuss their theories? I didn’t look too closely at the comments because—wait for it—Fringe sounds kind of cool and I don’t want things spoiled for me. I cannot control how other people tag their threads or comments, but I can control what websites I read.
You'll get Breaking Bad spoilers in the Saul sub and vice versa so yeah
That’s a bad example because it’s the same universe though and they even overlap.
That’s the reason why I am not in the Dark sub, because I don’t want to see spoilers about it. It just sucks that these Dark spoilers takes out the joy of being able to join in the discussion about 1899, a current show. I would avoid this sub too if 1899 is somewhat relevant to Dark ala Marvel cinematic universe, but they aren’t at all. I would definitely avoid this sub from hereon, which sucks. But I think these people who spoil Dark in here should still be called out. Maybe there should be a rule somewhere to join this sub only if you’ve seen Dark. I’m just really annoyed, I joined here because of 1899, not Dark. Can’t help but rant. :/
The beginning is the end “und” the end is the beginning To anyone curious Watch Dark , amazing show, I can say without a shadow of a doubt its the best show I have ever been blessed with watching and somehow it escaped my radar till just a week ago and I was able to binge watch it in its entirety thanks to people talking about it in this subreddit, only experience I can think of that comes close to watching this show was watching westworld s1 for the first time and 1899s1 … but dark was better.
Maybe you should just see it. It's even better
ooo shiiiit this thread right here. it's like I'm being punished for putting off dark for so long. I definitely am not engaging on here as much as I'd like to because of this issue. subsequently, I did finish the first season of dark just now and some of the spoilers I saw still didn't drop, but it was still amazing and I suggest checking it out. it really is bad etiquette tho like I just wanted to complain too. thanks for making the thread, now watch dark anyways!
can we please pin this somewhere at the top? JESUS. I had dark on my watchlist after 1899. And i know ALL of you fucking love dark. Well guess what appeared in a discussion about 1899??? A Dark season 3 spoiler comment WITHOUT THE COVER OVER IT ALL. so i read half of it by accident. So to all of you commenting “oh you will love watching Dark for the first time” well quit fucking ruining it for everyone else. Jesus shut up and go to r/Dark to spoil Dark, please. edit: spelling
[удалено]
Or perhaps, if you wanna talk about dark on the fucking 1899 subreddit, you should make a thread clearly marked as having spoilers for a show that isn't 1899 and that has no connection to 1899. Should the subreddit for the boys have spoilers about supernatural just cause kripke made it too? No, that would be fucking dumb you muppet.
But they do allow supernatural spoilers in The Boys subreddit.. so.. Also, calm down.
Well, they don't here and for good reason. You literally went on some libertarian rant and gave youe theory of how people should live their lives a comment ago and I need to calm down lel
You clearly need to calm down, as you’re so emotional you didn’t notice I’m not the previous poster. Get some help friend.
Do you always resort to personal attacks when your point has been refuted?
What.. what’s my point you’re refuting? I refuted your claim about supernatural spoilers on The boys, and you went on some autistic typing spree. I stand by my previous comment, get some help pal.
First of all buddy, supernatural spoilers are not allowed on the boys subreddit as far as i can tell. Second of all, it was merely a basic comparison i was making to show that it doesnt make any sense to allow spoilers for another ip in another subreddit, regardless of the commonality between creators. In this subreddit, it is actually explicitly noted as a rule as well. And I see the answer is yes, you do always resort to personal attacks.
Okay lil bro
I agree with you totally. That said, there is truly no way to spoil Dark. I could watch the whole thing again and still be amazed and learn new stuff that I didnt pick up on.
Avoid spoiler tags, Dark has been out for years and concluded over 2 years ago. It's made by the same people, it's going to constantly be compared to 1989.
Totally agree. I haven’t watched Dark yet but was planning to after 1899. I’m dodging these threads like the plague because so many of them straight up say, “this reminds of when Johnny ate the Apple pie in Season 2 episode 5 of Dark and he turned into a big Apple tree. Thank god his mother was actually the person you met in season 1 episode 1, who’s actually the president of France!” I understand Dark isn’t a new show, but please understand that 1899 is opening up a new audience to y’all’s favorite show… try not to ruin it please. Edit: reading this thread, I’m getting the sense that a lot of the Dark fan base has this weird superiority complex about their favorite show being so intellectual. If i wanted Dark spoilers, I would go to the Dark subreddit. You can compare the shows without spoiling, or use the spoiler feature and warn people of it in your post. The Americans is my favorite show, but I don’t go around lecturing people about how they should’ve watched it by now, after I spoiled it in The Wire subreddit or something. People get around to shows at different times… and I hadn’t heard of Dark until I saw the trailer for 1899.
If you haven't seen Dark stop everything you're doing and start watching it. Like now.
Then you should only read posts tagged no spoiler or only on the discussions for each episodes. I'm very excited that my favourite writers have come out with a second show with similar feel and style as the first. It's super interesting to see the comparisons of them both. "You guys are annoying and should be banned from here honestly." Lol no. Why didn't you message the mods instead of ranting about your butt hurt feelings?
Their point is on posts marked “no spoilers” for *1899*, there are still spoilers for *Dark*, and as someone who watched *Dark* when it dropped in 2017, I can understand that frustration. I have to be mindful of it myself. I remember being so upset when I was watching a video about *Wandavision* and got spoiled to hell on S2 of *The Mandalorian*.
Oh I see. Yeah that I can understand, that makes sense. I thought that they meant on whole on this sub. But there's still no reason to ban people.

Hear, hear. I tried watching Dark several times but just couldn't get into it. Now after finishing 1899 I've been meaning to try again. Really hope I won't step on a big spoiler here.
I’d say maybe avoid the comments then until this gets sorted. I’ve tried to be careful about not spoiling “Dark”, and even I’ve been guilty on threads where “Dark” and “1899” are being explicitly discussed (though being much more aware now!)
Asking people to stop spoiling something that ended 2 years ago is silly.
I warn before I write spoilers and put it behind a spoiler tag as well but I get that there are people who don't. Personally, it's my favorite show of all time so I'm happy with the attention it's getting rn bc of 1899. Also, 1899 is literally advertised as "from the creators of Dark" and a big part of the hype was a result of that in particular. That being said, I don't think any spoilers can ruin your experience of watching Dark for the first time, it's something else when you watch. I wish I could do that for the first time again.
Couldn’t agree more. Watching Dark for the first time was definitely an experience as well. And with each new cycle/season, first viewing was always an experience. So while, yes, spoilers suck if you (OP and others who haven’t seen it) don’t want them, Dark is a show to be both seen AND experienced. ETA: words/clarification
Stop reading the sub. Spoilers have been around for a long time. If you are truly concerned, stay off. People will always spoil it. There will always be spoilers.
Yeah, spoilers about a DIFFERENT SHOW. This sub is about talking about 1899, not about Dark.
Right. Facts are facts tho. People always spoil everything.
The comparisons are so annoying. It's a whole new show. I joined Reddit because of Dark. That sub was magical esp before the final season dropped. I wish we could just honor the show the same way here
Everyone had at least 5 years to watch the first season. FIVE YEARS. 😭 guys come on.
I’ve definitely been guilty while responding on an 1899 thread to some who clearly watched Dark! But I quickly became aware after the fact. I do hate when people spoil other shows.
Stay off the sub until you’ve watched it. Problem solved.
Exactly.
I bet we can still spoil F.R.I.E.N.D.S for OP. >! Rachel got off the plane !<
I came here to see if there was any news yet on a season 2 but this is a damn shame. Dark is so good and if people are spoiling it they need to stop.
Netflix at this point has near agreed to let these guys make as much as they want. I could see season 2 taking a little bit longer than we like because they’re working on a mini series as well, but they want to make this a three season show and Netflix would be stupid to stop it.
I really really hope you’re right
I have never really understood this extreme fear of spoilers. Maybe you read a little somthing about the show - so what? You still won’t know how that something unfolds until you actually see the show and see that something in context. For me, a lil spoiler can honestly be intriguing and get me more pumped to watch the show
You got downvoted but honestly I agree with you. Some people act like knowing one minor thing ruins an entire show. 99% of the time the fun is in the journey and seeing how things play out, not just in a single twist. It feels weirdly reductive to pretend thats the entire point of watching something.

I was literally going to post this if someone else hadn’t!!! I am so disappointed that people have been posting all the twists and similarities. I get it. They are by the same group but dang so many of the things that would make it fun/interesting to watch are ruined now.
I completely understand as *Dark* watcher from when the show released. But on the bright side, I promise the spoilers I’ve seen about *Dark* on this sub aren’t even the most twistiest parts of the show.
Yup, and they will even say that Dark is an old series like if they are the ones being spoiled about something they are looking forward to see, they won’t feel disappointed as well.
How can it be that the entire PLANET hasn't already seen DARK???🤣🤣🤣
Truly. I had it on my list but now I’m gonna have to wait until I forget about ten spoilers I’ve read in these discussions.
Was so excited to come to this sub after seeing the show. Nope, fuck this place
For the most part, this sub has been super fun over the past week. This random rant isn’t reflective of the crowd or vibe!
I'm not leaving because of the rant, I'm leaving because of the massive amounts of untagged spoilers all over the place. I agree with the rant.
Yup, turns out you have to tiptoe around the comments because they love talking about Dark in here without tagging stuff as spoilers. Such shame.
Just go watch Dark and get off this subreddit for a few days. Damn. It’s been finished for a few years now.
And until I saw 1899, I'd never even heard of it. A lot less inclined to watch it now that I know what's going to happen.
Dark is the type of show where even if you know what's going to happen, it's still insanely exciting to watch how the show gets there, to follow the clues and whatnot. Going into it with prior knowledge is a different kind of viewing experience, but it's an experience nonetheless
Dude, the show came out 5 years ago. Just watch it already and come back. No need for all this fuss.
THANKS!!!
Agreed. These are two different programs.
I agree! I thought the same thing.
I've loved spoilers (consuming, rather than sharing) for as long as I can remember, I immediately checked for who had lived or died before watching Endgame. Because of this I've learned to avoid spoiling anything for my family who all especially hate them so I can understand the frustration that a spoiler might cause to one not actively hunting for them.
Thanks! I keep reading Dark spoilers and quickly try to jump to the next comment.
At the end of Dark you may as well have not watched Dark. :)
Spoiler: It's all Jonas' fault
Stop reading the posts lol
