What makes it different from others?

A Brilliant Conflict

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ill keep this short and sweet. Some episodes are pretty good and some touch on a problem on a surface level ad are condescending piles of trash. Honestly, I was expecting more quality from a network like Showtime. Sometimes it feels like a board of middle aged execs sat down and went "hmm how do we make a cool and hip show about the internet, for the kids to watch?" And this is what they came up with. A half baked, sorta out of touch take on the dangers and wonders of the Net.

My god, this show is full of whining. The worst was the "bad" porn people. This show does nothing but say the internet is terrible place and we should all run away from it. Sad, waste of a show.

On first look the series stood out as something new, and I thought it was going to shed some light on the real Dark Net. But ho-hum this a bunch of fringe stories we have already heard of before, and there is little attention given to the subject that the series draws it's tille from.There is no real in-depth documentary making here. Each episode is in case study format, but being constrained to 30mins there is no room to explore those burning questions. I couldn't help but feel short changed and uninterested.Documentaries work best when they answer the So-what? question, but when you end up thinking Who cares? then probably no one else cares either...

My biggest problem with this show is the fact it isn't uniform in it's quality. Some episodes are good, great even; some lose focus, or worse, fail as a documentary by not supplying all the information you need to decide for your self. By overly dramatizing a personal story and not asking some much needed questions, some episodes (specifically episode 4, 'CTRL') left somewhat of a bad taste in my mouth.I will say, however, that the show surprised me at times - especially in the first and last episodes. Good choices of human stories and an ambiguous message about the goods and evils of the internet is, for me, what does make this show stand out. So yeah, I recommend it.Also should probably mention - contains a lot of explicit sexual content.
