If these kind of requests are not allowed I apologize.

I am looking for the name of a contemporary sci-fi TV show. American, English language. Its from between 2011 and 2016. Just one season as far as I know. The premise is that a matchmakers wife is "assumingly" kidnapped. Turns out he is the double (possible clone?) of an WW2 SS-officer, and are unknowing part of an larger world conspiracy. Trying to bring about the end if the world? I remember the last scene were one of the main antagonists (now blinded) are waiting in line to see a healer who was revealed in the show.

Edit: ChatGPT solved it.

Dark. A netflix series that ran for 3 seasons in 2017.

That's a solid score in IMDB. Did you watch it? If so would you recommend it?

The best time travel show I have seen. Fantastic storytelling, acting, sets, and cinematography. It has lots of depth and is worth a rewatch. If you like science-fiction or mystery, you will love it.

If you get lost with the timelines at some point, refer to the accompanying website.

Absolutely sold!

I've watched it. Seven times! Best show I've ever seen but you have to concentrate - every scene is vital and there's little exposition; you pick up everything as you watch.

I've watched it all the way through, it's a wild ride - don't read about it, go in blind, and just keep watching 😁 One of the few shows where I really had no idea what was going to happen next.

I just searched for various criteria until I saw something that hit enough of those points. May have to watch it now, though. The second closest I saw was 11.22.63 with James Franco, but it was about changing the JFK assassination.

but then you went and replied 'Dark' which fits about 0 out of 9 details specified.

Sure, but the proper title at the end of the search has little to do with using the clues given.

Chatgpt suggested the show might be "the Kettering incident" but wanted follow up info.

Maybe you can try asking an AI chatbot?

Counterpart or Man In The High Castle are a bit closer to what you describe but I still don't feel we've gotten to the bottom of this.

Its not the Man in the High Castle. The Nazi storyline is told in "flashbacks" The main story takes place in a modern setting. Tbh, think it wasn't that popular. Last episode had the possibility for more seasons. It had an Alias feel to it, but production was more Helix.

Turns out that the wife is not that clueless, not really kidnapped, and are suddenly a part of the wider conspiracy plot
