Review of Darkness by nyssaoftraken

16 April 2025

A decent finale that definitely leans more into the action side of things, as the infection-outbreak-zombie apocalypse storyline comes to a head.

I have a few problems with this one myself: mainly, I thought the stuff with the kid felt a bit cheap and obvious, and that took me out of the story for a bit at the beginning.

It was interesting how quickly we saw the collapse of Sunlight across the three episodes; the whole boxset must take place over the course of no more than a day or two. It makes the entire set extremely pacy. Personally, I would have preferred a slower takeover, to see the collapse of a society over the course of weeks or months rather than days; but that's a matter of personal taste.

I liked this set quite a bit on the whole! The writers made reference to zombie films and TV shows in the BTS segments, and that's very apparent in this episode, but I think there's plenty more you can do with the Krynoids and I'm interested in where they'll go next.
