The significant respite from the conclusion of Dark is that, somehow, the manufacturers were able to tie all the loose ends together. Even though there were a few closures in the last two episodes, at least you were not left trying to ace the guessing game. The story, which starts with a teenager’s curiosity about the death of his father, transforms into a mind-bender for many. The twisted tale serves a heavy dose of complicated paradoxes throughout the show, colliding seamlessly with great time travels.
A mother who’s her daughter’s daughter, Overall, the portrayal that is complex which breeds on gory stories of dads murdering their sons, mothers murdering their daughters, is simple to comprehend in a watch. Hence, we’re here to make life more comfortable with this explanation of the show’s finale.
Albeit towards the conclusion of the season, the show finally starts to get a little clarity when it’s established that the two distinct worlds of Adam and Eve were made as a result of events in a third, entirely separate world discovery made by Claudia Tiedemann. It also helps understand the ties between the parallel worlds of Eve and Adam. This different Earth, also known as The Origin, is home to HG Tanenhaus, who decides to construct a time machine as he mourns the loss of his family (son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter) a consequence of a car collision.
Regrettably, Tanenhaus ends up creating dual worlds – an indication of the trouble to come mainly because the universes exist to dwell in an infinite time loop.
The only possible way would be to go back in time and undo the crash leading to Tanenhaus never producing the two realities, or the time machine, in the first location.
A universe or vortex disappearing means that everyone associated with it disappears too. And, that is just what occurred in the finale. An occurrence, but heartbreaking.
First things first, both the Adam and Eve universes did not survive. And, with them, a bunch of our favorite personalities quickly vanished into the dark also. Along with this, Martha and Jonas are also, heartbreakingly, separated from each other.
Though painful, this was a planned move in the couple to quit the time loops, where they succeeded. Otherwise, their loved one would continue suffering from also the pain it brought with it and the wrath of the time loops.
The sole survivors: the ones that weren’t part of the time loops that are unforgiving or the parallel universes.
In the closing scene, the daughter of Claudia, a random set of friends, and Regina have been seen having dinner. Which means a lot is lying and a sense of fate for our heroes that were through parts of the set. Regina’s presence in the team proves that she is alive.
On a different note, Officer and Hannah Wöller are currently expecting a baby boy also. Hannah would like to name him Jonas so that he can get a brand new life.
The final arrangement of Dark broadly explores the idea that these strong characters are probably prepared to start a new life, completely oblivious to the problems faced with their parallel counterparts.
