    I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    If you're a fan of horror or thrillers it's hard to find anything out there that is truly scary anymore. Most modern horror movies and TV shows rely on cheap tricks and clichés for scares, rendering thrillers not so thrilling. In that sense, Darknet is like a breath of fetid air - and I mean that as a compliment. This show is truly creepy. It plays off our more modern concerns - no ghosts or demons - of fear of self and fear of the other, and it gets us where we can still be gotten - online and on camera. Paranoid delusions come to life. Internet trolls take action in the RW. You can't face reality, but you can post it online!In the first three episodes of season one the stories intersect in unusual ways. Episodes four and five largely stick with one main character, but the last episode ties these characters together through one final devastating and intensely scary moment. That moment is a breath held, waiting for season two!Afterward you'll be checking all the locks on your windows and clearing your internet history. You'll take the money and run, unplug your GPS and never, ever follow random clues, no matter how sexy they are, to their final destination. Darknet will make you believe in the horror/thriller genre again.
