I was pleasantly surprised to watch this mini-series. The first episode was hard to follow because they are setting up all the characters, but after that it was neat how they went back and forth from the past to the present to see how they all came to spot they are. I would give THE DARK two thumbs up!

Since I was home this popped up on Netflix and I watched the trailer, which was powerful. I started watching and before I knew it the film was over and I hadn't moved. Yes it's a short film, but very intense and makes you understand how dangerous it is to be a coal miner. I'd like to see a bit more character development in the beginning, but the MINE itself as "the villain" was so powerful that I let it slide. Having real miners at the end was a nice touch. I looked more into the movie and found out that a lot of the movie was shot on a soundstage and cut back and forth between a real mine. THAT WAS SEAMLESS. I really liked this one.

Was unsure how this series would hold up to the previous Panda stories, but I was BLOWN AWAY! They took this series farther than I could've imagined. I watched this with my son and we couldn't stop. The visuals are like watching a movie, the writing and actors were AMAZING! Great for kids and just edgy enough for adults to be able to watch also. Hope there are more episodes coming and Amazon just hit a gold mine with this series.
