Why You Should Watch "Dark" on Netflix

A little over a year ago, I stumbled across a random series on Netflix called "Dark." I was unsure if I would like it or not at first because it seemed to move at a slow pace. It was also weird to watch the actors' lips move, yet the English words that I heard didn't match up with their lip movements. This show is probably the most confusing show I've ever watched in my life, but re-watching episodes to understand is definitely worth it.

One of the many reasons I enjoy this series so much is because it provides a perfect balance between mystery and sci-fi/thriller. A boy in a small town is taken, and you think it's just like any other child abduction show, but somehow it warps into a show about parallel universes. Having always been interested in parallel universe theories, this show achieved at quickly catching my interest.

Each episode provides you with a clue to the solution, and you're also provided little snippets of the past, present, and future, which cease to be very critical in this series.

The best thing about this show in my opinion, is the fact that there are so many unanswered questions. As the plot thickens and you get more into it, every episode leaves you with an outrageous cliffhanger, making you beg for more.

I would compare this show to "Black Mirror" on Netflix because it contains similar concepts, but definitely more dramatic than "Black Mirror." If you're looking for something new to watch, that isn't extremely gore-y and poorly directed, "Dark" is definitely the show for you.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
