Dark is a special show on Netflix. Following its debut on the streaming platform giant back in 2017, Dark ran for an intensely engaging three seasons. The show retains an impressive 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the most popular Netflix shows of all time.

As the plot of Dark featured a winding maze of alternate realities and time travel, Jonas was verily referred to as Adam and The Stranger during the show’s various periods. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to contend that no character in common parlance has ever suffered as much as Jonas Kanhwald on Netflix’s Dark.

Dark kicked off with the suicide of Jonas’s father, Michael, followed by the disappearance of Mikkel Nielsen. He was consigned to the unenviable fate of being stuck in a time loop, facing the same tragedy no matter what he did to make amends.

Jonas’s desperate...

Do you remember the time when Dark fans considered Jonas Kahnwald as the chosen one? What if we tell you that he was merely a tool and not the savior? Sounds baffling, right? After all, the show revolved around Kahnwald time-traveling, visiting different timelines, creating alternate realities, and even saving them in the process.

You may now ask, if not Jonas, then who is the chosen one in Dark? We noticed that Martha Nielsen, the one from Eva’s world, would be the one. As wrong as it sounds, it might be the truth because of her deep connection to the knot in time and how she brought the vicious cycle to an end after her love mistakenly made it far worse.

Netflix’s Dark boasts a gripping storyline in the small and mysterious village of Winden,...

Ever watched a show that sticks with you long after the credits roll? Dark, Netflix’s German sci-fi thriller, is exactly that. The masterpiece has long been praised for its mind-bending plotlines and philosophical scope. With each re-watch, new details, hidden motives, and tragic twists emerge to give all the answers.

But after my latest re-watch, one thing became crystal clear. Amidst all the complex timelines and morally grey characters, it’s not Jonas who has the most heartbreaking fate. It’s Mikkel Nielson who is also Jonas’ father, Michael Kahnwald. Mikkel’s fate is not just tragic; it’s the cruel loop of time, his helplessness, and a life he never chose.

Robert Schwentke’s “Seneca – On the Creation of Earthquakes” ushers audiences into the fraught final hours of Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the Roman philosopher, playwright, and statesman. With John Malkovich embodying the titular figure, the narrative unfolds as Emperor Nero, Seneca’s former pupil, decrees his mentor’s death.

The film anchors itself in the familiar terrain of ancient Rome, yet from its inception, a current of the unconventional, a distinctly theatrical sensibility, courses beneath the surface, suggesting that historical representation here will be anything but staid.

What follows is an examination of a man confronting mortality under the capricious shadow of absolute power, a historical episode reimagined with a peculiar, disquieting verve.

The Philosopher as Performer

The Seneca presented is a creature of immense intellectual vanity, a renowned mind whose philosophical pronouncements are matched only by his profound self-absorption. Once the guiding hand to a young Nero, he now faces...

Have you already binged Stranger Things three times? If you haven’t, what are you waiting for? In case you have, you can definitely quote every Dustin one-liner, still mourn Barb, and clearly imagine yourself in the Upside Down of TV withdrawals. Well, don’t panic, because there’s a whole multiverse of sci-fi shows out there ready to fill that Demogorgon-shaped hole in your heart.

Whether you’re into ‘80s nostalgia, telekinetic teens, creepy government experiments, or just a really solid group of misfit friends on bikes, we’ve got plenty of series that deliver the same kind of madness, chills, and weird vibes. Of course, some will stir up the retro horror, others double down on mystery and sci-fi madness. But whatever they may bring to you, each one scratches that Stranger Things itch without copying it beat for beat.

So, let’s fire up your walkie-talkie, grab some Eggos,...

Dark is listed among the best Netflix works to date. It is a visual treat for sci-fi lovers and gives us one of the most unique time-travelling mysteries in pop culture. While many reasons contributed to the success of the German TV hit, the exploration of Jonas’ character throughout the show was a major factor.

Throughout the three seasons, Dark has flaunted a wide range of characters, more precisely, characters surrounding four families. Despite that, the Netflix show never really loses its focus on Jonas Kahnwald’s story. Interestingly, it was the plan all along to base the entire saga around Jonas.

"I did it for Rome." Freestyle Digital Media has debuted their official trailer for the film Seneca, made by director Robert Schwentke who worked in Hollywood for years (he last made Snake Eyes before this). The full title is actually Seneca - On the Creation of Earthquakes - this first premiered at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival a few years ago and opened in Germany that year. But most critics hated it and reviews have been harsh. It's about the relationship between Seneca and Nero, the infamous Emperor he mentored since childhood and who accused him of plotting his assassination. The plot revolves around Nero telling him to kill himself and Seneca's response to this directive. "Schwentke has made a pyrotechnic display of a film that is almost peerless in its use of over-the-top punchlines, splatter-sarcasm, love of verbal precocity. Stunning & incredibly topical, Seneca asks: is the educated elite a victim...

There are many war movies that military experts praise for realism. However, just as many TV shows do an excellent job of touching upon the true cost of war. Conversely, since the realities of war are so intense, there are some series that omit the harsher aspects. The toll war takes on the psyches of the soldiers and, most prominently, how many civilian lives are lost are at the forefront of many of these narratives. By centering on the individual experiences of people paying the everyday price of war, the realities feel more immediate and impossible to ignore.

Many of these series feature the best TV show battle scenes, as the violence of infamous clashes is frequently portrayed on television. However, it's not just the big bombastic moments that make these projects memorable. The quieter, more intimately devastating moments typically hit the hardest in these narratives, as this is more...

Louis Hofmann is an actor who has a certain Aryan look. There’s no getting around it. He’s used it to find work playing Nazis. “I’ve portrayed quite a few Nazi characters,” the German-born actor says, “which doesn’t mean they’re all the same. I guess it’s very important to remind ourselves of what has happened and to keep making these films to avoid it happening again.” Hoffman is at it again portraying Werner Pfennig, a brilliant German teenager who is reluctantly compelled to assist the Nazi cause during World War II due to his technical skill with radios in “All the Light We Cannot See,” the four-part Netflix adaptation of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from Anthony Doerr. “I’m glad you sympathize with that human, whatever the uniform that he had to put on.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Viewers looking for more historical war dramas can turn to acclaimed shows like "Band of Brothers," "The Pacific," and "Transatlantic" for similar storytelling. "All the Light We Cannot See" is a short binge, but other series like "Outlander" and "Poldark" offer longer, immersive narratives set in different periods and perspectives during wartime.
