Dark/Web

Dark/Web turns online paranoia into a series of standalone scares. Each episode presents a different scenario where everyday tech tools become sources of dread, focusing on people whose lives intersect with the darker sides of the internet. The stories range from creepy strangers using data to ruin reputations, to more extreme examples of surveillance, revenge, and digital manipulation. The tone is intimate and tense, with small casts and tight runtimes that keep the emphasis on atmosphere and the moral cost of constant connectivity, without resolving every mystery or giving away any twist endings.

Created by Mario Miscione, Michael Nardelli, and Tim Nardelli, Dark/Web premiered in 2019 as a horror anthology for television. The series features Brian Elerding as Ethan, Michael Nardelli as James, Lana McKissack as Sam, Sibongile Mlambo as Amy, and Noemi Gonzalez as Molly, and it was developed with a clear focus on short-form, high-concept storytelling tied to modern tech fears.

The show did not earn major industry awards or mainstream nominations, and it remained outside the awards conversation during its release window. That said, it found a place within genre circles rather than the broader television awards circuit.

Among horror watchers who care about internet-era scares, Dark/Web sparked discussion about how realistic its scenarios felt. Episode premises and imagery turned up in online threads and social feeds, where viewers compared the series to other tech-centered horror. It didn’t become a cultural landmark, but it did contribute to the conversation about how technology reshapes vulnerability in everyday life.

Critical and audience responses were mixed, reflected in a modest vote average of about 6.1 out of 10 from a small number of ratings. Reviewers tended to praise the ideas and occasional performances while noting uneven execution across episodes, with some entries stronger than others. Recurring themes include privacy erosion, the fragility of identity online, and the ease with which digital tools can amplify cruelty or paranoia.
