Web/Sombre

I was introduced to this series by The Reel Rejects and decided to check it out.

I really enjoyed the show, I felt some of the actors took time getting comfortable in their roles but once they did they were really able to flesh out their characters.

I loved the narrative, having the real life world conflicts blend together with the short stories.

I'd really like to see a second season made so the world can be more explored and the characters can be further developed.

If you're looking for a quick but interesting Anthology series, I definitely recommend checking it out.

Chapter Five personally was my favourite episode! But unlike most Anthology TV Series, I definitely recommend watching this in order!

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.

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.

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.
