This seems more like a parody of CSI then an actual episode. The entire thing is hard to watch from the FBI agents squabbling over a plane, to the FBI gal outting Hodges for embarrasing web browsing to the "Human lie detector bit". The part where "Kitty" is fooled by typing a question mark over and over and her face peels away.... it was hackers level bad.
I loved Hackers, but that was a movie made in the early days of the internet and presented to people who honestly didn't know much about it. This episode was cringe worthy and felt like someone who has no idea what the dark web is like decided to take a stab at it in a time when high schools are teaching classes on it. The dark web isn't fantasy, its real. You can decide that elves have rounded ears if you want because they aren't real, but you can't just make up details about things that exist and pass them off as smart television.
