Alterna-tainment: Webseries - Joan Finch


     I highly reccomend you check out the Platoon of Power Squadron, a.k.a. POPS, on PineappleBoyFilms channel. Youtuber Jake Jarvi wrote and directed this series about four roommates who are dealing with their superpowers. Jarvi also stars in POPS with his real life wife Eliza. It has a rough start but its really entertaining and each episode, which air in several parts, is more impressive and well crafted than the previous one. There have been 5 episodes so far and 6 and 7 are on the way. Get caught up before episode 6 airs. It won't be hard, they go really quickly. 
     Jarvi keeps his audience updated with his blog and weekly vlogs (video blogs). Its a really cool thing they've done with building the series and have a strong community around the show.
     Dragon Age: Redemption is a 6 part webseries from Bioware staring Felicia Day based on one of their popular video games. Even if you haven't played Dragon Age you should give the series a watch. It's got incredible production value for a webseries. The storys interesting, the acting and swordplay are convincing. It has a satisfying conclusion and a series like this is a fun variation of the web genre. 
Honorable mention is Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog since I'm trusting everyones already seen it many times.
