I’m finished!!!!!! This show was really epic. I’m used to 60-80 episode palace Cdramas but Magnificent Century was even longer than that and it gave us a show that will take a lot of effort to replicate.

This was a fantastic show for lovers of political thrillers. It also included explored very complex relationships between characters in the royal family and court. The production value was terrific. And all of these combined to create a historical show that I feel will definitely stand the test of time.

Another dramatic season! I really enjoyed the new rivals that were brought in this season.

A very eventful season of Magnificent Century! There were some lulls in this show but I wouldn't say it dragged the show down too much. This was a really long season so apologies if my memory of events isn't quite accurate.

The first season of Magnificent Century was pretty good. It was engaging. I'd say the only downside is how long the episodes are. I wish they broke them down; even 1 hr episodes would be nice.

This season ended on a huge cliffhanger.

This miniseries was alright. It was fine as a crime show, but it had some typical cliches and I didn't think it had any specific charm that made it stand out compared to other crime miniseries that I've seen in the past.

I'll admit that I didn't like the direction that season 3 was going with, but at least I was still able to pick out parts from this season to make the entire show make sense to me (not sure if that makes sense).

Overall, I think I enjoyed this series more for the direction style than the actual story (I'm not the biggest fan of sci-fi/time travel anyway).

I think this season was a bit busier than the last, but it still kept me interested enough in the story and I'm going to start season 3.

I am watching all three seasons of Dark together. I wasn't sure whether to write one review or a review for each season, but I'll go for the latter, since this show was supposed to be consumed in seasons. I'll try to keep it short though.

I like where this show is going, and I'm definitely interested to see how it plays out. The strengths of this show are definitely the direction style. Technically, the story is complex, but the way it's presented on screen is very slowly and carefully so it doesn't feel that fast and complicated until you actually sit down and think about it.
