 Not your old school Power Rangers (http://io9.com/holy-hell-this-power-rangers-reboot-is-dark-as-f-ck-1687689958?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_facebook&utm_source=io9_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow)

Love the AR everywhere as well.

I clicked this yesterday as a 'Why not try it for a minute or two' and immediately got sucked in and watched it in full. Very sinister. Very nice.

"Grimdark" is mostly a term poking fun of the "darker and grittier" trend in modern sci-fi/fantasy storytelling.

It comes from Warhammer 40,000, where the iconic opening phrase is "IN THE GRIM DARK OF THE FUTURE, THERE IS ONLY WAR".
