Dark/Web

Maybe not startlingly original for most long-time sci-fi/horror fans with shades of Twilight Zone and Outer Limits among others plus maybe a sprinkling of some well known urban legends but the stories are well told and well acted with several taking on elements of our current culture in new ways. As a nice added bonus there are a few faces (and one voice ;) to gladden the heart of any Buffy fans watching. And unusually for this sort of anthology series, the framing story held my interest as well or better than the episodic stuff, particularly as the show went on.

It's clearly made with not a lot of money and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the locations are houses of friends or relatives but there's nothing wrong with that, people like Sam Raimi started on a shoestring too. Not being able to throw money at problems pushes the creators to be inventive and focus on telling their stories well.

All in all, i'd definitely recommend this first season and would certainly watch a second if one gets made.

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.

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.

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 struggled through to the end of this series just to see where they were going with it. And in the end it wasn't worth the time. The writing is all the same stuff you have heard a thousand times before. The twist wasn't good. Don't waste your time with this one.
