Review of Dark/Web

Dark/Web (2019)
10/10
Darkest before the Dawn
25 July 2019
I had no idea what to expect when I chanced upon Dark/Web and I am glad for that. From the very start, I was pulled in but I didn't readily realize into what. This refreshing entry into contemporary techno drama has broken from the usual formula. Dark/Web has layered story within story, with each episode introducing a new character to join in the search for Molly Solis and through that journey we see each character develop not only within themselves but also with each other. Each of these sub-stories could well enough stand tall on their own but are served better in their multi-faceted use in this cleverly woven tale. How often do you get an opportunity to not only watch but look forward to enjoying two shows in one? Pay close attention as you do because the clues and reflections are there for the viewer to espy. I also want to mention that the acting by all was exactly how it needed to be when it needed to be. It never seemed undersold or overreaching, allowing the cast to drive the story as a whole through to the end of its arc. I enjoyed this telling through both its narrative and design and am greatly looking forward to more of the Nardelli's and Felt Film's projects.....including the upcoming STARDRIVE. Well done and thank you for something different!
