Dark/Web

So many reviewers comparing to black mirror. This is nothing at all like that show. This starts good and then mid way through the season it turns into something a 13 year old would watch. The writing and acting also represent that.

Don't get me wrong,, it is not bad.. but not great either,

6.1

I really liked the first few episodes. It's start off as a testament to how good something can be without a bunch of big names and a big budget behind it. Unfortunately, it starts to devolve and became more generic and ultimately finishes with a "pfft". I don't know why that happened.

This is actually a decent show if it wasn't for the really bad acting from the leads. The stories that molly wrote is more interesting than the main characters that we were supposed to sympathize with, the characters of Ethan and Sam couldn't act to save their lives and why did they make this Sam characters so damn annoying i don't know. would have been a good show if they made alternative casting choices.

Alright... First off it's a modesty budgeted show. This isn't a knock against it. The special effects are pretty good given the show's constraints. It's not really fair to compare it to "American Horror Story" or "Black Mirror". It has some violence. But not on the level of other similar shows.

I enjoyed the first two chapters. Especially "Rideshare" which utilizes Julie Benz's unique voice. "Chapter 2" was also very solid. The more I watched it the more I enjoyed it. I could see the show expanding if it gets a season 2. Using the internet as a framing device is interesting. Also I think it's pretty silly to bemoan the show because it's not a documentary on the Dark web.

I've seen some truly awful horror anthology films and episodes. I'm going to give credit where it's due. The acting is mostly solid. Once in awhile the dialogue doesn't quite sound convincing. But I'll cut it some slack as it's only the first season...

Overall despite it's limitations I still enjoyed the show. Interested to see where the plot would go if it's given a 2nd season. Emotionally I connected with it. Give it a chance.

If you like Black Mirror you will probably like this. Really hope this show gets renewed!
