Oh fun. A game series I used to work on is on the Dark Games first page.

I’m not even sure what my reaction to this should be, but I commend the dedication put in.
I had completely forgotten this was even a thing, and even more bizarre timing of the reveal behind the person.
This also just crossed my mind, after reading this and seeing who is claiming the deed.
I can totally see the Prestige counting for this.
This is one hard to say. Dark is one of my favorite shows, but I do think the journey is better, the journey is kind of the process for the acceptance of the finale, so it does make sense.
There is a mix of both throughout the show, especially in the Irene Adler The Woman episode. You already know she is behind a few criminal things from the start. There is also another case within that same episode where someone died next to a river, and one of the draws of the case is that Sherlock figured it out instantly, but doesn’t want to tell anyone what the answer is. It is slowly revealed in bits over the episode of what he figured out.
I may give Columbo a shot since it’s an older show I have put off trying. And Monk has also been sitting on my list.
All three great answers. I thoroughly enjoyed them. I’ve been trying to get my wife to watch Se7en or Usual Suspects for years.
I definitely think this movie popularized the “but it needs a twist at the end” trend.
Yes! I think this qualifies.
I loved Memento, very good example.
The closest I’ve watched in the last decade to something like this may be BBC’s Sherlock. Does that fall in the same category?
It’s honestly my favorite of the bunch. The Pitch Black /Riddick monster plot style dying one by one has never appealed to me in any genere. I loved the mystic sci-fi space world building that was going in Chronicles. Does it do it better than a movie like Dune? No, but this also came out a very long time ago.
I’m a bit torn. While I think the overall first movie is better, as an adult… I very much connected to the inside story of the second one much more, as did most people I know that watched it.
Maybe you don’t remember watching it again.
I was hoping an article existed!
Another one that comes to mind (that someone can correct me on). Was Uncharted the game that made the “no health bar, but redder screen as you are close to dying” popular?
This was definitely the first time I also remember this appearing, and it made it more engaging for me as a child.
Oh wow, did Zelda really make this popular? I wouldn’t have guessed. I’ve play it a ton.
As a few have said, only one person is from a TV series and the rest are from movies.
If a movie like this is done correctly, you don’t need to have watched what came beforehand to appreciate it. Most characters in movies have pasts, we don’t get to watch everyone’s lives from when they are born to when they die.
