I’d love to make the best next web series. I’m a big fan and I’ve watched a lot (read: excessive amount) of content online. And I’m always curious about what works and what doesn’t and the more you watch the more you know. Today we watched a few episodes of each of the following web series’ Starting From Now, High Maintenance, and The Guild. Here are my 50 word review of each:

SFN – Queer content is niche but people dig it and get caught up in it, particularly with a bunch of Sydney babes. I don’t hate this show but I think it’s a bit daggy, there are better versions of it’s kind (Feminin/Feminin is a French-Canadian lesbian web series that is top notch) it’s a good avenue for storytelling but wish it was developed more, could be stronger ⅗

HM – Class A web series content. This is what I imagine a really good online program to look like. It’s an unusual format with the protagonist being a character we don’t really get to know but I think it’s extraordinarily effective and I couldn’t enjoy it more. The eps we watched weren’t my personal fave but I have a great time watching it 5/5
TG – I am definitely not the target market for this show, but that aside, I really respected it’s use of the PhotoBooth/Skype as bookendings. It’s a pretty great idea for an extremely low-budget and seems well suited to the audience it targets. But overall probs wouldn’t watch again but respect it exists 2/5
