ABSTRACT
Michael DeAngelis examines how the program Dark (Netflix, 2017–2020), a series set in a small town that features time-travel and that disrupts the logical segmentation of time into neatly discernible fields of past, present, and future. DeAngelis details how characters inhabit historical moments 33 or 36 years apart but then interact and converse with younger and older versions of themselves. According to DeAngelis, not only does the program disorient familial relations by depicting queer desires, it further queers heteronormativity by disrupting conventional markers of the life cycle (e.g. marriage, death).
