So fellow author and blogger Denny Upkins has done an extensive review on a plethora of web series. As many of you may know, TV sucks shit through a raggedy straw, and many audiences have turned to the internet to find their entertainment. Also, writers and producers who can't catch a break in Hollywhite have found the 'net to be a favorable medium to display their products and build their fanbases. Denny has provided a list (with links) and summaries of web series that he has watched (or is watching). He also provides recommendations. Some I plan to watch are the following:
Disappointing Gay Best Friend
Lumina
Status Kill
Rosa
I appreciate the effort that it takes to conceptualize and produce a show on a peppermint budget. We have to tell our own stories because for damn sure no one else will. Or will be bold enough to tell them right.
I avoid TV as much as possible with the exceptions of The Walking Dead & American Horror Story. ESPN is my default setting, simply because I love sports and require background noise as I go about my daily life. I have not yet watched any of these shows, but I do plan to shoehorn a few in between working, writing, and reading extra-dull research on the state of education in America. *sigh* Anyway, I'll be providing my own commentary on some of these shows after I've watched them.
I eagerly await your reviews. ;-)
