And it’s interesting to watch, especially if you’re a 90’s kid who has grown up in a small town like me. For the most part, it pays all this out like an investigative drama, peeling off the layers of its characters and their history, while only hinting at the exaggerated aspects of its underlying themes. It emphasises the importance of letting go of things that cannot be attained via natural means and how the pursuit of unnatural desires can lead one down the path of damnation. Without getting into any spoilers, Equinox deals with familial trauma and how one thoughtless decision taken by a person leads to a catastrophe that permanently damages the emotional quotient of an entire town.

Equinox has the emotional weight of Dark and the dimension-hopping of Stranger Things but it lacks depth. A random phone call to one of the students’ sisters, Astrid (Curcic) restarts the investigation and leads to some startling revelations. The story revolves around the people of a Danish town who are haunted by the disappearance of its class of 1999. It features Danica Curcic, Lars Brygmann, Karoline Hamm, Hanne Hedelund, Viola Martinsen, Fanny Bornedal, August Carter, Ask Truelsen, Alexandre Willaume, Peder Holm Johansen, Rasmus Hammerich, Zaki Nobel Mehabil, Tina Gylling Mortensen, Joen Højerslev, Maria Rossing, and more. The music is by Kristian Letha and Fridolin Nordsø, cinematography by Laust Trier-Mørk and Mattias Troelstrup, production design by Knirke Madelung, costume design by Rikke Simonsen, make-up by Katrine Tersgov, and sound design by Morten Groth Brandt.

The writing is by Mette Kruse, Tue Walin Storm, Andreas Garfield, Jacob Katz Hansen, Bo Mikkelsen, and Mie Skjoldemose. It’s directed by Søren Balle and Mads Matthiesen. Then, I watched it, and well, the hole remains.Įquinox is created by Tea Lindeburg and is based on the hit Danish podcast Equinox 1985.

a small town, a mysterious case of disappearance, an investigation, and something supernatural hiding behind the shadows, and it’s going to fill the gaping hole left by the German show. Now, when I watched the trailer for Netflix’s Equinox, I thought that I have found the next Dark, because it had similar elements i.e. So, anything and everything that I see, especially when it is trying to flirt with the science-fiction genre, is going to face comparisons from me. And in addition to all that, it’s a brilliantly made show overall. It’s one of the only shows out there that I’ll say is perfect, especially because it handled mind-boggling topics such as time-travel, interdimensional travel, quantum physics, and intricate family drama. I am a huge fan of Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese’s Dark. But from a narrative point of view, it falters on many levels, thereby squandering a lot of the show’s potential. And it boasts of some great score, sound design, and production design. It features brilliant performances from its cast. A few decades later, Astrid, the sister of one of the missing students, gets a mysterious call and reignites her urge to investigate this mystery.

Equinox, created by Tea Lindeburg, directed by Søren Balle and Mads Matthiesen, and written by Mette Kruse, Tue Walin Storm, Andreas Garfield, Jacob Katz Hansen, Bo Mikkelsen, and Mie Skjoldemose, is centered around the disappearance of the class of 1999 of a Danish town, with the exception of three students.
