Dark Matter is an American science fiction television series created by Blake Crouch, based on his 2016 novel of the same name.

They find themselves in a frozen Chicago, where after rescuing Amanda from a blizzard and while recuperating, the pair realizes that the doors respond to their overall mental state when opening them.

Despite living in a dangerous world, Blair does not want to risk returning to the box until she is ready, believing it is nearly impossible to navigate the corridor.

Despite trying to keep their intentions clear and emotions checked when opening the doors, Jason #01 and Amanda keep finding themselves in uninhabitable worlds.

After Jason #02 embarrasses her by displaying an unfinished painting at a charity auction, she overcomes her initial reluctance and follows him to his storage unit, finds the ampoules, and enlists Ryan's help in discovering the compound within.

"[12] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 64 out of 100 based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
