Darknet (2013–2014)
9/10
Intense anthology with rapid twists and turns
11 February 2016
This series is six-episodes long and though similar, each episode offers something new. The defining characteristic of the series is the intensity - the story is certain to hold your attention and tickle your nerves scene after scene.

The first episode features a woman who is concerned that there is someone else in her apartment; a killer operating near the underpass and a troubled man going through a divorce tempted by a trail of clues. The stories are all interconnected, some scenes non-linear. In most instances, the viewer is sure to be surprised and thrilled by the revelations.

There is a consistent creepy atmosphere throughout, with erotic tension and mild gore making an appearance every once in a while. The cinematography and music went very well together with a tightly- knit plot each time.

My only complain was with episode four, which seemed uninteresting and unwatchable, so uncharacteristic and out-of-place.

The series ends with a well-placed scene that ties it all together, just as Darknet binds the several characters and stories like a loose, disturbing thread.

Only the most unimaginative viewers would dislike this series. Watch it while you can. Or I'll hack you to death.
