Center
Primary
Dark is rated as neutral/centrist because its central subject matter of time travel, causality, and existential philosophy lacks inherent political valence, and its ultimate solution focuses on breaking a destructive cycle through understanding and self-sacrifice rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie 'Dark' features a predominantly white German cast, consistent with its setting, and does not include explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on a complex time-travel mystery without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The series portrays LGBTQ+ characters Peter Doppler and Benni/Bernadette with complexity and empathy. While Peter struggles with his identity in the main timeline, the 'origin world' offers an affirming depiction of their open and loving relationship, ultimately validating queer lives and love.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Dark is an original series with all characters created for the show. There are no pre-existing source materials, historical figures, or legacy characters from prior installments whose gender could be altered. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
Dark is an original German science fiction series. Its characters were created for the show and did not exist in prior source material or history with established racial identities. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
