Dark
Dark is a German series that spans three timelines: the past, present, and future, all converging into a single confusing timeline. The characters in this mind-bending dystopian sci-fi have no idea what’s happening. With the presence of a time machine, the plot intricately weaves together, creating a disorienting yet compelling narrative. If you enjoy complex storylines, Dark is definitely worth checking out.
Umbrella Academy
The Umbrella Academy evokes a sense of Harry Potter if it were more underground. A group of kids with special powers grows up to be the heroes of the world, but there’s a catch—they don’t know how to use their powers. This leads to chaotic and unpredictable events. As the story unfolds, the characters learn to love and accept themselves while using their powers to travel through space and time in order to save the world. If you’re looking for a lighthearted take on sci-fi and space travel, this show is a must-watch.
