6) Dark (2017–2020, Netflix)
Dark is about a boy’s disappearance in the town of Winden, but it turns into a story about time travel and family secrets. It follows four families across multiple generations, revealing how their lives are connected through a time loop caused by a wormhole. The show jumps between timelines, showing characters at different ages as they try to break the cycle. The best part is how it sticks to its time-travel rules without getting messy. It didn’t get wider recognition because it’s complicated, subtitled, and requires full attention. Fans who gave it time called it one of Netflix’s smartest shows.
