Dark 102 - Lies

Lit After Dark

Tommy, Josh, and Jenn dive into episode 2 of Netflix's German language Dark! In our spoiler-free discussion, we talk about the excitement of a small-town coroner upon her opportunity to conduct an autopsy on the mysterious new dead body, talk about Mikkel's arrival in 1986, and the glistening abs of the scarred stranger and his crazy-person wall of clippings. Our analysis digs into the symbolism of birds, hoodies, and candlelight, as well as the companion texts of German pop songs and Jean-Paul Sarte's No Exit.
