simeonanderson95 While Darknet never feels like a full-formed series, the individual moments are worthy of praise. Stop thinking about the bigger picture and enjoy the moment, because Darknet does boast more than a few really good ideas. Some of the directors and writers that take part in this anthology have some interesting things to bring to the table. Some stories explore the imagined horror, yet without the lack of pay-off that usually comes with that premise. Certain moments shine with ingenuity. A breast implant surgery takes a horrific turn. A hospital patient finds herself trapped in a living nightmare. There are a few jump scares in Darknet, but most of the horror comes from the atmosphere hanging over this show. The good thing about each new character not being around for very long is that we watch each story, totally unable to guess where this particular chapter is going to end up. The one thing missing from the line-up is a supernatural villain, so the horror is very real and gritty. Anything that happens on this show could very feasibly happen in a real life scenario. The directors show us just enough of the murders to satisfy the audience (the show opens with a terrific intro), yet cut away, so we have to imagine the rest of the horror. There is also a wide range of directional styles, so there is something for every horror fan. We get home invasion horror, we get a slow unravelling of horrific clues and we get bloody murder. We even get a nice break from the scares for a few horror comedy chapters (full-on horror after full-on horror rarely works, after all). Shaun Benson's character probably won me over the most because his two stories (one involving an encounter with his creepy doppelganger and another involving a mix-up with his prostitutes), are rip-roaringly funny, yet still keeping that creepy horror vibe we expect. They also, like most of the stories here, end in the most unexpected way imaginable, which is Darknet's strongest card. This is more than a horror; it is a mystery show as well.

VaughnMNY1 In short. Very interesting well written and out of the ordinary. I like how the series ties all the stories together in some way during the episodes so it keeps you guessing what's going to happen next. Not your run of the mill horror stuff some really freaky things happen that really surprise you. So the stories keep your interest.I am really interested to see how season 2 starts given what happened at the end of season one. But with that said for any horror fan I think you will be pleasantly surprised at this.Its a Canadian series and I don't think Netflix has the next season yet which is a real shame. NICE WORK From our Neighbors to the north!

mrmomo22 I honestly never heard of this show was just browsing Netflix being bored. I only read what it was about and glanced over the actors/actresses, nobody big but I've seen a few of them in other shows.I'm glad I found the series. It is a mixture of oddity/thriller and I guess a little horror, light gore horror. The acting was pretty good and the plot for each episode was each entertaining. It is an interesting show that kept me watching all the season episodes in one sitting. After it was over I actually wanted more and hope for a season 2. I don't watch too many non mainstream series nor do I write many reviews, but I hope this catches on and if it does I hope the writers can keep it interesting as it already has.

holograms 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.
