    If you're under 40 years old there will be no new content and almost nothing to learn from this miniseries. If you're over 41, enjoy the ride. Showtime seemingly put their best foot forward in an attempt to produce edgy and controversial documentaries on what happens all over the Internets, but it falls flat on it's face accomplishing almost nothing at all. Leave education to NOVA, stickIf you're under 40 years old there will be no new content and almost nothing to learn from this miniseries. If you're over 41, enjoy the ride.

    It'll make cyberthrillers like Black Mirror and Mr. Robot feel all too real. [29 Jan/5 Feb 2016, p.104]

    The content tends to be heavy on example and light on analysis and interpretation. The show could stand to slow down a bit on the ways--as the often too clever for its own good narration says--“we upload our very selves to the place we call the cloud,” and ponder the implications of all this internet interaction.

    The only outside voice to place these stories in a larger context is a narrator given to portentous statements about our lives becoming gigabytes of data uploaded to the cloud. The subject matter is worthy of the docuseries treatment, but Dark Net is a shallow wade into the deep web.
