And it is really weird.

The first Dark trailer, which Netflix released in June, set the stage for the show: we’re on an immigrant steamer traveling to the “new world,” filled with people who are all “running away from something.” En route, they encounter a mysterious second ship, the Prometheus, which has been missing for months, adrift on the open sea.
