Dan Curtis’ gothic epic about a soulful vampire (Jonathan Frid) and his supernatural and human family, friends, and frenemies ran weekdays on ABC from 1966 to 1971 and has over 1,200 total episodes, with storylines that jump back and forth in time and follow various character arcs. That said, it’s also a soap opera, so a more casual viewer can drop in wherever and follow along without too much trouble. Watch seasons 1-26 on Tubi, though you might as well start with the earliest episodes, which are grouped as Dark Shadows: The Beginning, seasons 1-6. Tubi also has documentaries Dark Shadows and Beyond: The Jonathan Frid Story and Curtis spotlight Master of Dark Shadows.
