Darknet

I love this show so much I've watched the first season so many times sad when it was taken off Netflix we need a season two!

This is one of the best series I've seen in a long time when it comes to horror. Even more fascinating is the fact that there are two tales per episode. What's even more amazing is that throughout every tale, you'll notice small things that connect to previous tales from previous episodes.

The quality is very high on these and it feels like a higher-budget V/H/S. Every tale is well acted, well executed, and possesses clever and puzzling twists that you may or may not figure out by the end. That's what keeps the viewer entangled in each tale. The mystery, suspense, and puzzling factors are palpable.

It's a mixed bag really in terms of what you get. You may find a gory piece, a thriller, a mystery, or anything in between.

Very pleasant and very much worth the time to sit through. On the plus side, it's on Netflix. Go check it out! You will not be disappointed in the least.

It's so refreshing to be taken off-guard by horror. All too often you feel like you've seen the same old tired formula in front of your eyes before.

Once in a while though, we're caught off- guard, which is exactly why we're here. Horror fans watch horror for the tension and the exhilaration of the unknown, and all too often we get an anticlimax of something we've seen before. Darknet, on the other hand, delivers where we need it to. When you think you know what you're getting you're smacked in the face and reminded that you aren't the most twisted individual out there.

Grade-A storytelling, with a fresh perspective, Darknet is a pleasant and welcome surprise for horror fans that focuses on narrative and tension. The best thing since sliced Achilles.

If you've been getting tired of the zombie flicks and other cliché horror movies that's been churning out there, then you will be refreshingly surprised at this creepy horror series. Each episode is only around 25 minutes long, so you will fly through these, especially since they are original horror that will keep you interested till the last minute. My only complaint is that there are not enough episodes and they are too short! If you are a fan of the VHS movies, then you will definitely like Darknet, and it will certainly get you your VHS fix! I hope this series expands on its episode numbers per season because this is one show that absolutely deserves to stick around for a long time.

If you're a fan of horror or thrillers it's hard to find anything out there that is truly scary anymore. Most modern horror movies and TV shows rely on cheap tricks and clichés for scares, rendering thrillers not so thrilling. In that sense, Darknet is like a breath of fetid air - and I mean that as a compliment. This show is truly creepy. It plays off our more modern concerns - no ghosts or demons - of fear of self and fear of the other, and it gets us where we can still be gotten - online and on camera. Paranoid delusions come to life. Internet trolls take action in the RW. You can't face reality, but you can post it online!

In the first three episodes of season one the stories intersect in unusual ways. Episodes four and five largely stick with one main character, but the last episode ties these characters together through one final devastating and intensely scary moment. That moment is a breath held, waiting for season two!

Afterward you'll be checking all the locks on your windows and clearing your internet history. You'll take the money and run, unplug your GPS and never, ever follow random clues, no matter how sexy they are, to their final destination.

Darknet will make you believe in the horror/thriller genre again.
