Dark(2017)

This series is suggested for ages 13+ and may contain suspenseful themes. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"Revelation 22:13","theme":"Alpha and Omega","description":"The show's bootstrap paradox — in which every beginning is caused by an ending that is caused by that beginning — occupies the theological territory of the Alpha and Omega: the being for whom there is no before and after, for whom beginning and end are a single reality."}, {"reference":"Romans 8:20-21","theme":"Creation freed from futility","description":"Claudia's project — freeing the world from the deterministic loop — enacts Paul's vision of creation liberated from its bondage to decay: a new creation not subject to the futility of the old, genuinely free rather than trapped in endless repetition."}, {"reference":"John 1:1","theme":"In the beginning","description":"The show's paradox about what was 'in the beginning' — when every beginning is the product of a prior ending — engages the Johannine opening's theological weight: the question of what precedes all causation, what was there before the first cause."}, {"reference":"Ecclesiastes 1:9","theme":"Nothing new under the sun","description":"The show's Nietzschean eternal recurrence — the same events happening in an endless loop, no new thing possible under the sun — dramatizes Qohelet's most pessimistic observation, then asks what would be required for something genuinely new to enter the world."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
