How Netflix’s Dark Avoids Breaking Its Own Sci-Fi Rules

Ultimately, time travel in Dark was a way to delve into complex questions about existence. The show focused on its characters – their connections with themselves, with each other, and even with past and future versions of those same people. Although the science behind the time travel gets complicated and sometimes stretches believability, Dark always remained consistent with its own internal logic.
