Black hats
The Dark Net Diaries
Black Hats is a heartfelt yet thrilling coming of age story that follows the young and nerdy hacker Samantha who – together with four fellow outsiders – decides to stand up for herself by using cyberattacks to counter their high school bullies. As the gang starts digging deeper into one of their attacker’s online behavior, they accidentally uncover a wider conspiracy hidden deep within the dark web, one that reaches far beyond their high school walls and will have a profound impact on all of them.
This 10-episode TV-show aims to put a refreshing spin on the teen drama genre, fusing the whimsicality of everyday high school antics with the more serious tone of a gripping crime story. Combining the more mundane pitfalls of growing up in an ever-connected world with an exploration of the underbelly of the internet, where the monsters roam freely to do as they please, ready to act on their worst impulses.
Always darkly comical and self-aware while never losing track of its emotional core, Black Hats is the kind of show both teenagers, their older siblings and even their parents will want to binge-watch.
