Dark
Time-travel Netflix show
Dark is the absence or near-absence of light: a dark room, dark clouds.
Colors described as dark have deep saturation or low brightness.
Dark extends to anything hidden, unknown, or sinister: dark secrets, dark thoughts, the dark side.
A dark period lacks hope or progress: the dark ages, dark times.
Someone kept in the dark is uninformed.
To go dark is to cease communication or operation.
