Lit After Dark

Dark 103 - Past & Present

Listen Later

Tommy, Josh, and Jenn explore the third episode of the incredible German language Netflix series Dark! In our spoiler-free discussion, we talk about the previous generation of the denizens of Winden, and note the different ways in which history is already repeating itself. We talk about poor Mikkel's fruitless quest and the dramatic irony of his interactions with his young parents, the trials and tribulations of being a powerful woman in the 80s like Claudia, and explore the beginnings of Hannah's relationship with Ulrich. 

Our analysis digs into the symbolic significance of Raider Bars (Raider is now Twix!), possible important connections that relate to the number 33, and Tears for Fears' "Shout" as a protest song.
