I heard about this series so frequently before actually having the desire to watch it; I almost never watched it because it seemed insanely popular, and I worried that the popularity indicated that there wasn't really something special or unique about it for *me* that would make me interested. Yet once I forgot about my preconceptions of the show, and observed where the plot was quickly heading past the few first episodes, I became very interested. This is an excellent series to watch for anyone interested in:

a. The darker side of human nature; the abuse of power and how power can corrupt us and change who we are consciously and subconsciously; and

b. The true intensity of the struggle between light and darkness, showed through the crafty, profoundly intelligent and sometimes manipulative actions of the characters.

A great series if you are into the concepts of darkness, injustice, the supernatural, and thrilling plot lines. As someone who is very interested in mysteries, shows that keep you on the edge, always wondering about the character's plan or motive or next move, this show captivated me and I was pleasantly surprised at how great it is.

*TL;DR Version*: A show perfect for anyone interested in how we battle our innermost fears and desires, the battle between light verses darkness, the evil of human nature when power is abused. A thriller with dark, edgy overtones, and excellent character development. This show holds a special appeal to those who enjoy shows with that 'disturbed' feel - there's something particularly dark, almost gothic about DN you won't be able to miss.

OVERALL: 10/10 :))
