This season fleshes out the nuclear power subplot a bit more (there’s a timely Chernobyl reference) but the season has grander ambitions: Jonas is on a hero’s journey and has to save his future-future-self from himself.

What initially appears to be unlimited narrative freedom and potential can devolve into an unkempt mess of undeveloped plot threads and thin characters. The series takes a refreshingly divergent approach with regard to its treatment of Hannah, as well as Katharina and Ulrich’s two other kids, Martha (Lisa Vicari) and Magnus (Moritz Jahn), by pushing them deeper into the mystery — and therefore the answers they seek — and by having them greet those answers with acceptance rather than rote skepticism.

Dark circumvents this potentiality for the most part by plowing headlong into scenarios that other shows would wait hours (if not seasons) to attempt. Because the series is steering toward a definitive end point, Dark puts a greater emphasis on its antagonists in season 2 as a way of cementing its plot around a singular and more tangible threat.
