Well, what does “filler” here mean to you? Dark is a tragedy where the characters in a personal sense aren’t really relevant. It’s hardly a series about ‘slice of life’ or “spend time with Jonas/Martha” to see what they get up to.
Yeah… but doing what? Like a “filler” to me isn’t specifically about an episode following an individual character. You can do that and not be “filler”. If such an episode is in aid of furthering the overall plot of the show, giving the viewer wider context of how the character falls into it, showing their motivations etc. A character filler episode here is where the outcome of the episode essentially doesn’t matter, and it’s just done as a kind of break from the season/serial plot. Like Carol chasing rats and Daryl fixing his motorbike during those COVID era episodes of TWD.
That would be really out of place in Dark and would be just be whiplash.
I can’t see how GoT would, but then it depends what you consider as “filler”. I don’t think Dark would either. Or Silo
Dark would have definitely benefitted from it, I love it but it’s a drag to binge watch because it’s too much sad shit in a row

Well I disagree, the characters in Dark matter a lot, a filler episode would have been something like having an episode in season 1 from Martha’s POV
