Web/Sombre

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.

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.

5/10 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠 = A light hand clap 'Dark/Web' is a mostly solid series of anthologies with a running time for each chapter at about 30 minutes so backstories are thin and they jump right to the point. Every episode of horror is centered around computer hacks and viruses involving violent acts of crime. Many of the lead characters are actors you've seen before but can't name. I wouldn't say these chapters are very scary or terrifying they barely show any blood or actual violence they take you to the point and usually cut scenes without showcasing heavy gore. The episodes are not frightening they may get a little creepy but most adult horror fans will categorize the fear factor as being kiddie. The cinematographies good though and will keep your attention through out it doesn't look cheap but it's below the level of what a mainstream movie would achieve. The special effects are lacking though not so much due to quality but quantity most of the editing is used for computerized transitions or onscreen digital effects. Would I recommend this series, Yes but only for mild horror fans who don't want to be terrified while watching, It doesn't move the needle for me per say but it wasn't the worst thing to watch on a boring Monday nite.

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!

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,
