re: Dark S3 Discussion (spoilers after OP)

Yeah the real allure of this show to me became the characters. You really feel for all of them, their losses and tragedies. The montages that put together old/young versions of each character are amazingly done. And then when you finally see the conclusion of each person's story, most are truly tragic (and violent) because we realize they don't belong on that world. Katharina and the St Christopher medal, holy shite. And seeing what Elisabeth went through to become who she was, damn.

Edit to add: this is somewhat where season 3 fell a bit short for me compared with the first two. While it was amazing to see some of these conclusions to the characters in the world we're familiar with, I never really cared for the alt world versions. Ulrich's parallel story was compelling, but I just never had time to care for the other alt versions.
