The third and final season of Dark has ended on a high, and Netflix's German sci-fi series presented the story of four interconnected families caught in a time-travel mystery which also involved the apocalypse. The complex final eight episodes introduced a second and also a third world, and had stunning revelations which presented unexpected and unseen versions of several characters, after Martha (Lisa Vicari) rescuing Jonas (Louis Hofmann) from the apocalypse during the end of the second season.

As Dark has finished, if you're looking for more sci-fi shows with interesting questions on human existence, the conflicts between good and evil, multiverse and apocalypse, here are some of the shows you must start watching now.

Counterpart (Amazon prime):

Counterpart deals with multiple worlds, and was a short Starz drama, which has two seasons and is a heady mix of sci-fi and espionage genres.

Stranger things (Netflix):

Even during its premiere in 2017, Dark was compared to Netflix supernatural series Stranger Things which was set in the 80s, as it had the striking similarity of beginning with a child going missing.

The fourth season is expected to bring in time travel.
