Dark Season 02 Episode 05 Review

Why do we think about time travel? In Intsdstellar, Christopher Nolan tried to bring the time travel concept with gravity anamolies of time and prophecied that one day humans will try to understand the importance of love and gauge the emotion in a scale that is measurable. He masterfully invests us into a world where dust becomes the problem and dare to say that leaving the planet that we so dearly call mother is the only solution.

So, why do we travel through time? We hope that in some way or the other, we can fix the problems or as the information that we have today can help us change the past to live without regret. And also we try to go forward so that we can have that hope in us alive. For Dark, exploring these themes is a major plot point too.

Thankfully, Baran bo Odar gives us glimpse of what he really sees the story. He doesn't look at this as an interesting premise that he is exploring but a story that needs to be told. He has a huge amount of respect to the time and he keeps insisting that time in itself can't be altered fully as it is a beast that doesn't stop.

Adam and Jonas, thug of war between moralities really drives the point home. With this episode, we sense the creators are looking at giving depth to proceedings going forward all the way. As the story moves forward, the things that need to be resolved slowly but surely, gets their due. We don't see any sudden changes in motives but we get to understand where the characters were, where they would be and where they are!

This is another gripping episode but could feel like a little too much if you don't really give yourself chance to understand it and jump to next one. The narrative just gets more complex as well as the remaining episodes need to go to the places that give us a proper understanding of the end of the season. By this time, we should be predicting many things but all could in vain!Tata Sky Annual Flexi Plan Offers One Month Free Service
