Netflix’s Dark Is an Example of Perfect Casting (and We Have Photo Proof)

Every viewer has experienced at least once in their life a mild sense of irritation when two versions of a character – young and adult – were noticeably different.

Either a brown-eyed child grows up with blue irises, or individual features are transformed beyond recognition.

This is because not every project is lucky enough to have casting directors whose thoughtful approach determines the level of immersion in the story.

Well, there were clearly some real geniuses working on Darkness.

Comparative collages with heroes can be clear evidence of this.

Look at Jonas. It feels like the creators were just waiting for the actor to grow up.

What about Bartosz? The eyebrows are almost identical.

Or Ulrich, whose fate you wouldn’t wish on anyone. Nasolabial grooves, cheekbones, square face shape – how they do it…

Katarina stands out from the general series, but there is still something common visible.

The moment young Peter appeared on screen, he didn’t even have to introduce himself. The facial expression alone is worth it.

If we didn’t know that Helge was played by two different people, we would assume he was aged through the use of computer graphics.

Despite the scars, the more mature Elizabeth shows the hallmarks of a young actress.

There are simply no comments here, everything is clear without words.

Some fans did not forget to praise the make-up artists, who put a lot of effort into creating strong images:

“Look at all these stars off the set and you won’t believe they were playing their characters.”

Four years have passed since the release of the final episode and audiences continue to discover astonishing facts about one of Netflix’s best works.
