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?
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.
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.
