In the ever-evolving landscape of science fiction, Dark Matter, based on Blake Crouch’s 2016 novel, emerges as an ambitious yet convoluted series. This Apple TV+ adaptation relies heavily on its talented cast, particularly Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, to keep it from unraveling under the weight of its intricate plot. The series explores what happens when physicist Jason Dessen, portrayed by Edgerton, is abducted into an alternate reality where his life took a different path. This premise provides a fertile ground for examining the concept of parallel worlds, a staple in recent sci-fi narratives. Edgerton deftly navigates his dual roles,

Who Is Max in Dark Matter? The Apple TV+ Series Just Threw Fans A Curveball - Main Image
Who is Max in Apple TV's Sci-Fi series Dark Matter? Although the series centers on Jason Dessen (played by Joel Edgerton) and his alternate-universe counterpart, the secret revealed in episodes 3 and 4 might change that – and raise the stakes considerably.
Episode 3, titled The Box, reveals the existence of a mysterious child, previously unmentioned in the series. This deviates from the series' source material, Blake Crouch's 2016 best-selling novel of the same name, and has led to some out-there theories. Here's what makes Max's existence crucial in Dark Matter.
Content Spoilers: This article contains spoilers for Apple Tv+'s Dark Matter, so proceed with caution.

Finally, a little bit of clarity emerges.
Jason1 and Amanda got a bit of a handle on how this dimension-hopping thing works on Dark Matter (2024) Season 1 Episode 4.
Also, we got a peek at Jason's motivations for switching places with Jason1 on Dark Matter (2024) Season 1 Episode 1.
The Corridor made traveling through the multiverse somewhat more believable for viewers.
By the episode's end, the corridor that several of the players ended up using was more comprehensible.
But, at the same time, it was potentially even more dangerous. Be careful what you wish for, indeed.
What became readily apparent was that Jason2 was the only person who understood exactly how The Box worked.
Jason1 determined early on that The Corridor was the gateway to a multiverse of possible dimensions.
But understanding the big picture isn't the same as being familiar with the essential details of making the process work.

The multiverse just got a little more complicated on Dark Matter.
In Apple TV+’s limited series, which is based on the sci-fi novel of the same name by Blake Crouch, physics professor Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) is pulled into an alternate version of his life by a stranger. In this universe, he chose his science career over his pregnant girlfriend Daniela (Jennifer Connelly), they never got married, and she terminated her pregnancy, meaning that their son Charlie (Oakes Fegley) was never born. The kicker? Jason’s abductor is an alternate universe version of himself, who’s now taken over his life with Daniela and Charlie.

Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter, now an Apple TV+ series, stands out as a compelling exploration of the multiverse theory. The series, adapted from Crouch’s bestselling novel, opens up thought-provoking discussions on parallel universes and the impact of our choices. This Is Where Reality Bends The story revolves around Jason Dessen, played by Joel Edgerton. A middle-aged college physics professor, Jason finds himself abducted into an alternate reality through a mysterious device known as the box. This contraption is central to the show’s premise—an invention enabling travels through multiple realities. Professor Deepak Kar’s words encapsulate the scientific intrigue behind Dark Matter:

Jason1 (original Jason Dessen) can't catch a break, can he?
But at least he was still alive when Dark Matter (2024) Season 1 Episode 3 concluded, as the bodies kept dropping around him.
And the secret was out, in one dimension anyhow.
Is this series making more sense to anyone yet?
You have to feel for Jason1. He got dumped in a world that's not his own on Dark Matter Season 1 Episode 1.
Since his arrival, he has maintained, to anyone who will listen, that he didn't belong there. And the result was, at first, that he was considered crazy.
Things improved slightly in this episode as his coworkers at Velocity Labs decided he had amnesia or some other form of brain damage.
That's so much better than being insane.
Jason1 was right to be suspicious of Leighton and Velocity after seeing that dimension's version of the love of his life, Gabriela, gunned down by Dawn with no provocation.

The Guardians of the Galaxy could’ve looked a little different.
In an upcoming episode of The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast, Joel Edgerton revealed that he auditioned for the role of Star-Lord, which eventually went to Chris Pratt, in James Gunn’s Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise.
“I, unlike Chris, didn’t quite sort of understand the tone of it the way he did and the way that those guys did,” Edgerton said on the show. “And I wasn’t really sure how I could be a part of that tone. And I truly think that the world is a much better place that I’m not Star-Lord, even if I had the opportunity or I did a good enough audition because it is the way it’s meant to be.”
He continued, “And there was never a real conversation that it would have definitely been me. It was just, I...

Both broadly and specifically, “Dark Matter” is a TV series made with me in mind — or, at the very least, a version of me that could exist. Speaking generally, the Apple drama asks big questions about how the choices we make come to define who we are: Would I be different today if I had pursued a different career, married a different woman, or raised a different family? In small ways — the stuff of daydreams — the answer is, “Yes, of course, I’d be different.” In a different job, I wouldn’t be writing these words right now because I’d be napping in a hammock off the coast of Ireland, as a professional hammock tester specializing in cold weather climates. But aside from changes in what I’d be doing, what about who I am? Would a new profession, or a new partner, or a new home-life alter my personality?...

Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" best handled the topic of choice.
Dark Matter Season 1 Episode 1 and Dark Matter Season 1 Episode 2 are the latest on this topic.
Duplicate characters existing in separate dimensions is hardly a novel concept on television (or almost any creative medium).
The first such episode featuring a parallel universe was, no shock, on the 1963 episode of The Twilight Zone, "The Parallel." An astronaut returns from a lengthy journey to find his world not quite the same as he remembers it.
Another early example came in 1970 on the soap opera Dark Shadows. Vampire Barnabas Collins found a room in his mansion, Collinwood, a portal he used to escape to parallel time.
This concept was most vital in the 1967 Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror." It was set in a dimension where evil twins of the Star Trek characters lived.
This mirror universe was revisited on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine...

This Dark Matter review contains no spoilers.
The best-selling science fiction novel Dark Matter by Blake Crouch has been adapted into an Apple TV+ original series, bolstered by an all-star cast. With Crouch himself staying on as the showrunner and executive producer, Dark Matter unfolds at a brisk pace that leans more into the thriller elements of the source material than the science fiction premise. And while many of the familiar stylistic and thematic tropes in a number of Apple TV+ original thrillers are on display, the performance by the series’ leads elevates the material and helps make Dark Matter stand distinct from its contemporaries on the platform.
Dark Matter follows Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton), a physics teacher at a local university in the suburbs of Chicago who lives a happy, if unassuming, life with his wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly) and their teenage son Charlie (Oakes Fegley). After reconnecting with...

Have you ever watched It’s a Wonderful Life and wished that Frank Capra had paused to show us Clarence the Angel explaining to George Bailey how he was able to present him with the experience of a world in which he was never born?
Chances are good you haven’t — that you appreciate that the surest way to ruin whimsy is to “But actually…” it.
But if you have, indeed, yearned for a version of It’s a Wonderful Life in which “magic” was replaced by a literal black box and “joy and sadness and general wonderment” by “dejection and self-seriousness and general washed-out solemnity,” Apple TV+’s adaptation of Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter may be in your wheelhouse. It’s a series that doesn’t lack for ingenuity and, especially in the last two hours, ideas pop up that border on inspired, but the lack of tonal variation ultimately dooms Dark Matter.

You know the old adage: you wait ages for an Apple sci-fi show about quantum superposition, and then two come along at once. Just a month after we unravelled the existential mysteries of Constellation, we now have another reality-bending rabbit hole to disappear down in this series by Blake Crouch, adapted from his 2016 novel. But where Constellation took a deliberate, almost meditative approach to blending parallel worlds, confuzzling audiences right up until its slow-burn reveal, Dark Matter is a more up-front affair, wearing its fluctuating quantum state proudly on its five-dimensional sleeve.
Edgerton’s Jason Dessen lives a simple but happy life with wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly) and son Charlie (Oakes Fegley). Working as a college physics teacher, he’s professionally unfulfilled (though apparently still able to afford a stunning brownstone in downtown Chicago) and vastly overshadowed by former classmate Ryan (Jimmi Simpson).

Feast your eyes on curated footage from the upcoming Apple sci-fi series Dark Matter, starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly.
In an alternate timeline, maybe you were a carpet fitter. Unless you already are a carpet fitter, in which case, maybe there’s a parallel reality in which you’re popular disc jockey, or a pilot, or perhaps even a spaniel.
Such is the premise – well, apart from the spaniel part – of Dark Matter, the upcoming sci-fi TV series coming soon to Apple TV+. Joel Edgerton stars as a clever scientist type who suddenly ends up in other realities where he’s confronted with alternate versions of himself and paths not travelled.
The series is based on the book of the same name by Blake Crouch, and emerges on the tail end of the multiverse zeitgeist brought about by the likes of Everything Everywhere All At Once and assorted Marvel films.
