People are absolutely addicted to the new mystery on Netflix

You'll be thinking about this for days.

A large part of the appeal of Stranger Things has been its reverence and love for other film but earlier this month, Netflix added a new TV show that's drawing comparisons to the events in Hawkins.

We've kept our eyes on Dark for quite some time now - the original trailer was great, as was the second one - and while the plot does resemble the first season of Stranger Things, this is very, very different.

The plot revolves around the disappearance of two kids in the German small-town of Winden. The investigation ultimately opens abysses that turn the concept of time on its head. The question is not who has kidnapped the children...but when.

If you love shows that invite you to 'go down the rabbit hole' and theorise over for days then this is definitely for you. The Stranger Things analogy is an easy one to make but if you had to compare Dark to other TV shows, it feels more like the French version of The Returned (Les Revenants), The Missing, Twin Peaks or Fargo.

Are you the type of cinephile that still argues over the ending in Donnie Darko? Have you ever gone down a 'YouTube wormhole' at 1:37 am regarding the hidden meanings in certain TV shows and films? Do you scour the internet for every little Game of Thrones theory? Did you conduct your own research into the murder of Teresa Halbach after watching Making A Murderer?

If you take your TV habits this seriously, Dark is definitely for you.

Dark's central mystery isn't laid bare instantly because the creators prefer to unravel the plot slowly but in doing so, the tension builds, things get very creepy and the twists, turns, and shocks are infinitely more interesting.

In simple terms, it's a mindf**k that will leave you hooked.

The Telegraph said in their review that "Dark is worth persevering with as the tension is ratcheted from gently claustrophobic to actively unnerving, and the decades-straddling plot settles into a web of conspiracies and buried secrets." The Guardian echoed this point by remarking that "There aren't many missteps in Dark. The super slow-motion anguished screams of Ulrich look as if they were copy-and-pasted from a daytime soap, but everything else is tuned into the show's dense and foreboding frequency."

If you plan on watching Dark then we'll give you one tip, switch the audio to German and turn on the English subtitles.

You won't regret it.
