In addition to having taken a look at the big premieres of the month on platforms, the biggest science fiction fans will also have dedicated some time to Dark Matter, one of the most recent proposals from Apple TV+. And for those who have not been able to watch it yet, the platform has offered them an opportunity they won't be able to refuse.
For a limited time, Apple TV+ users will be able to access the series completely for free. The only requirement will be to be registered on the platform and log in with our username and password. Once inside, you will be able to enjoy the first episode of the fiction without the need to pay for a subscription.
Starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, Dark Matter is a series based on the novel by Blake Crouch, who also writes and serves as showrunner. In it, we follow a physics professor Jason Dessen (Edgerton) who is kidnapped one day on his way home.
A masked man blindfolds him and asks him: "Are you happy with your life? Have you ever wondered who else you could have been?". And this is the starting point of an intriguing series that includes parallel universes and unpredictable plot twists, those that leave you on the edge of your seat and wanting to play the next episode.
Apparently, the man who kidnapped him while hiding his identity is a version of the protagonist in a parallel world, an award-winning scientist who, among his achievements, has invented a box that allows him to move between parallel worlds.
Despite its richness and renown, that other Jason envies the life and family of the professor, his wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly) and his son, so he replaces him in that universe, leaving the original Jason in a limbo of parallel realities. There, he has the opportunity to see how his life could have been if he had made a different and decisive decision in the past.
In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a heartbreaking journey as he tries to find his way back home, like Ulysses, to return to his true family and save them from the most terrifying enemy one can imagine: himself.
