Wowsers! That’s a boxset and a half!

The effort they’ve put into the Extras is above and beyond.

I SO want this!

I was very late to Blake’s 7, I only saw it for the first time a few years ago, but I loved it. This looks brilliant!

#Dark is definitely my favourite time-travel story
How it manages to stay plausible and engaging through three long seasons, even with the massive plot holes required by time travel storytelling, is remarkable
It sags a little in the middle of the third season, but the sequence where that timeline merges with the pre-established one is a real rush
It is also *entirely* lacking in humour, except for a kinda-joke about an unexplained eye injury 🤷🏻‍♂️
