Dark Matter is wonderful, well promoted TV series you need to watch.
Turns out, it’s the most-watched TV series on streaming.
WHAT THE SYNOPSIS WON’T TELL YOU
I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear the word ‘metaverse‘ attached to an entertainment item, I immediately suspect that there will be so many storylines that I probably won’t be able to keep up with it all.
How ‘about you?
I flash-backed to a similar problem that eventually made me stop watching what started out as a wonderful TV Series–Orchid Black.
Remember that one?
Although I’m sure it was exciting and demanding for the actress, Tatiana Maslaney, after she was playing the role of 15 different characters, or so, I just couldn’t keep up.
And metaverse stories can have a similar tipping point.

Still, the theme, as well as the technology, in metaverse stories is always interesting.
And definitely in vogue.
THE GENERAL GENRE:
Drama | Sci-Fi | Thriller
All In a Perfect Mixture.
WHICH IS BETTER?— THE TV SERIES, THE BOOK, OR BOTH?
This time, I’ve got to say both.
The novel gets us there at a slower pace.
The movie thrills us with the fast-paced action, and alludes to the rest.
With the possibility of a ba-zillion storylines in a ‘metaverse‘ novel, Crouch’s work was entertaining, accessible, and not so overloaded with metaverse mayhem that my mind exploded.
But Crouch also wrote the TV Series, and used all the movie’s visual elements to keep me on the edge of my seat.
