My favourite of all time is Netflix's DARK. Only 26 episodes in total; everyone a work of genius.
It was left unfinished if i recall correctly, right?
Nope, it definitely finished, and it also nailed the ending, despite me being so utterly lost by S3E5 that I couldn't see how they'd possibly wrap it up in a logical and satisfying manner. Season 3 was a complete mind-fuck and I nearly stopped watching; in hindsight it was incredible. It's the sort of show which is actually better on a second viewing, where you know the basic plot and can focus on the characters and foreshadowing.
Sadly, the follow-up 1899 was cancelled after one season, so we were left with a massive cliffhanger.
I see. I'll have to re-watch it. First season was absolutely memorable, but I have forgotten the rest, as it became increasingly unhinged. But I'll give it a second watch to the whole thing...with my gf, who hasn't watched it.
Are you confusing Dark with 1899? After Dark performed so well, the creators started working on 1899 (which had similar vibe and was also a sci-fi mystery). However, it was cancelled after just one season. To my knowledge, Dark was not cancelled and did have a complete story (although admittedly I didn't finish the final season so I could be mistaken).
I don't recall what the ending was. I have forgotten most of the second season and completely the third. I need to re-watch the whole thing again I guess.
