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 guess you have never watched old school anime? The tone of the filler episode doesn’t need to match the rest of the show, in fact it’s better when it doesn’t

Well, sure, but we’re not talking about anime here but heavily serialised live-action shows.
