Put on your trench coat and get ready to dive into the world of The Darkside Detective. In the quirky town of Twin Lakes City, you will join the brave members of the Darkside Division as they tackle some truly bizarre and just plain weird cases. From flesh-hungry tentacles to mafia-themed zombies, nothing is too strange for Detective Francis McQueen and his trusted sidekick, Officer Patrick Dooley.

Detective McQueen is the lead investigator in this criminally underfunded division. When odd happenings occur—be it cultists sneaking around, demons lurking in the shadows, or just the occasional missing sock—you can count on him to investigate the cases that others shy away from. He is the one who stands up to the supernatural oddities of Twin Lakes City, even when they’re just hanging around shop fronts or lurking in eerie alleyways.

The Darkside Detective offers a complete Season One collection of this award-winning comedic serial adventure. You’ll explore the town and its colorful citizens while unraveling mysteries.
