I feel like every story has a plot hole.

Especially time travel stories, none of them ever has a consistant rule of time travel.

    How was Dark’s finale not a plot hole?

    It’s a time loop story where the loop ends by characters behaving different than they did in any other iteration of the loop and for no particular reason.

    I had a hard time following the whole plot, so I could have easily missed something.

      my understanding was that they travelled to the prime world and changed the event that led to the creation of the parallel worlds and preventing everything. The machine that led to everything never was built.

        So the idea is there is a closed loop. There are events that initiate the plot. And by the end we realize the characters we’ve been following are responsible for those events. Thus creating a never ending cycle.

        But at the end of the series, 1 of the characters just decides to do something different. This ends the loop. But why did that character change his behavior? Only reason I could find is to make an ending for the show.

        Worth noting, in spite of this, Dark is such an amazing watch that I recommend to everybody!

      You’re correct. Dark had one of the most irrational and nonsensical endings in television history. It undermined everything the series had established and worked toward. Such a shame.

        What do you think the show worked towards and established prior to the ending? Because in my eyes what the show did up to the ending was in service of the ending.
