Equinox

I had high expectations for the series as it had been described as "The Danish Dark" in some reviews and I loved Dark. It actually started pretty good with an interesting mystery peppered with meaningful flashbacks. However, it seems like the writers run out of creative steam in episode 3 or 4 and it went fast on a downward slope to the point I seriously considered not watching anymore. However, my curiosity was more powerful and, at the end, it did not disappoint as much as I thought when the conclusion was reached. If you say you stopped watching, I can't blame you, but give it a try.

I would akin this more to a Midsommer of sorts. It helps if you look up Ostara and Norse mythology. It's not bad if you know what to expect otherwise you probably will have no clue

I wasn't expecting much due to the reviews but someone mentioned Midsommar in his comments so I decided to give it a go.

I was pleasantly surprised. I'd say it's a 6.7 out of 10.

I don't get the comparisons with Dark, not related at all. Equinox is way better than Dark's 2nd season anyway.

Up to you, I decided to give it a go despite the bad reviews and I'm glad I did.

Yes, Equinox will undoubtedly remind people of a dozen other shows and films - most obviously recent ones like Stranger Things, Midsommar, Dark and Hereditary - because everything borrows from everything else, it's unavoidable. But Equinox has its own soul and its own flavour, and if you approach it from there, you'll get a lot more out of it.

Unlike some other shows, the story doesn't mess around - 6 episodes was all that was needed, and it filled them perfectly. The lead actresses are fantastic, as is the music, and the look-and-feel is spot-on.

I can see some people who enjoyed it calling for a series 2; it doesn't need it, at all. There's no more story to be told. Everything was wrapped up (bar a couple of inconsequential things), it's done, and done beautifully.

Alot of people are comparing it to the tv series ''Dark'' and giving it bad scores because they claim it's copying Dark even though it's not. It's a new story and everything. Fans of ''Dark'' are acting like no other Tv series is allowed to be about a creepy forest with unexplainable events, Dark wasnt even the first with their ideas either, it's been done before...

Anyhow I thought it was good, maybe not the best of its kind but it has it's good moments so instead of listening to angry fans of Dark you should try it out for yourself and see what you think.
