Ever thought of calling your new dog Rover? Probably not, but there’s a reason why people reach for that name as stereotypically canine, and there was a time when Rover boomed as a popular dog name. In 1905, British director Cecil Hepworth released a silent film called Rescued by Rover starring, you guessed it, his family dog (who was really named Blair). Ever since, dogs have been upstaging their human counterparts and have become a mainstay of feature films and TV. In fact, a cottage industry has been built around canine stars, including trainers, agents, a version of the Oscars called the Pawscars, and even book deals, such as the recently released Citizen Canine: Dogs in Movies by Wendy Mitchell.

Could be the gritty western reimagined world of Yellowstone, or how about the mind bending an eerie world of time travel that is Dark? For the sake of argument, why not a recent fan favorite, Game of Thrones.

Baron bo Odar’s critically acclaimed science fiction series Dark recently finished its third and final season on Netflix. The show’s mind-bending exploration of time travel in a small German town could read as almost anywhere, a consideration that was completely by design. Though many of the settings of Dark are actually filmed in or near Berlin, Udo Kramer, the show’s production designer explains that “the idea was to create a place that was more of a fantasy, rather than to recreate a realistic German town.” Indeed, his greatest inspiration for the show’s sets came from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, where Kramer saw sets as backdrops that accented characters rather than taking on a life of their own.
