Dark Stories Premiere Tonight

If the comedies and fantasy/sci-fi adventures premiering tonight do not appeal to you, how about some present dangers - spies and electronic snooping.

On BBC America you can watch the premiere London Spy,  a five-part spy mystery.  Here is the summary:

London Spy begins with a chance romance between two people from two very different walks of life — one from the high-powered ranks of investment banking and the other from a world of clubbing and youthful excess. But their love story quickly unravels when the reclusive banker disappears under suspicious circumstances, exposing his real identity as a spy and forcing his lover down a dark path to reveal the truth.

No one can do spies like the Brits, so I will be in attendance for this one. 

Should you need something more, Showtime premieres it new series Dark Net, sold as:

A documentary series that explores the furthest reaches of the internet and the people who frequent it, Dark Net provides a revealing and cautionary look inside a vast cyber netherworld rarely witnessed by most of us.

It all makes for a scary world with no super heroes to save the day. I think viewers gravitate towards Gotham because the villains are well defined. The real world is seldom that convenient.
