There's a certain hideous bravado to Dark 7 White. Bravado because you must have gun-powder guts to make a series this convoluted, and catty. Hideous because the plot feels like it was taken from a round of Cards Against Humanity- the sheer randomness, and audacity of the plotting, based on a book by Shweta Brijpuria, boggles the mind. The show is so beaten by conspiracies and cross-conspiracies that in the last episode, they have to do a quick re-cap to explain everyone's motives. They then have two voiceovers, of two different characters, one of whom is dead, and one of whom is investigating the dead. Now, that's a sign of having gone too far. But then again, moderation has never been a part of the ALT Balaji manifesto.
