Featured review
Fun little ride...
I'm gonna be honest, I was a little surprised with this show, not normally the type of story I follow so take my review with a grain of salt.
Darkest Case is an amateur short series about an off the books detective and his escapades in taking down a secret organization.
There are 3 seasons, each very different from the last.
Season 1 is low budget and feels low budget, but there is something special about it, for some reason I keep coming back to it and still get enjoyment. It has a lot of issues, primarily in it's pacing, but it has a certain charm to it, and was my favorite part of the series.
Season 2 is a much more streamlined story. Straightforward and to the point, no unnecessary filler and strange direction choices. This season is also the prettiest by far. Some of the shots remind me of old school horror movies, and the opening of the first episode has some of the prettiest imagery I've seen in amature films. To put it simply, the director definitely matured from where he was at in season 1 and his story matured with him.
Season 3 is the most experimental. Rather than being a crime drama, it's focus directs more towards the media, and how it can affect the truth. I haven't really dove into season 3, and it's not over yet, so I don't have much more to say unfortunately
Overall, it's a short show with alright storytelling, decent direction, good cinematography, and some cool fight scenes. It's lower budget than a college film and still better than most of them, and from an outsider's perspective it seems like most of the cast and crew had a good time filming; which is always a plus. Look forward to seeing more from the director!!!
