I totally agree. Sure it was not perfect. And it took itself a little too seriously, lacking any semblance of humor that I usually want in even my serious tv shows (though what should we expect when the show is literally called "Dark"). But it's refreshingly ambitious. And I loved how it didn't even try to hold the hands of the viewers - it just expected you to follow. Rarely do I like shows that are purely plot-based with little else to offer - but here the plot was so tightly wound and fascinating that I didn't care. Ultimately, the ending was satisfying too, which is surprising given how many things the show was trying to juggle. Also listening to it in German with subtitles added to the flavor of it.
I actually thought the voice-acting/dubbing was very good. The lips obviously didn't match up, but the character voices, etc., were spot-on. I may try watching it in German next time, though.
Talk about a show that is rewatchable....
