These days you can watch just about anything online weather
it’s a TV show, movies, fan films, or just little shorts people make but the
one thing that have caught my eye are web shows. Now there are a lot of web
shows out there, but there are about five shows that I really dig and want to
see continue on for future watch.
Here’s a list of the shows I feel are worth watching right
now.
1. Super Knocked Up: This show is an interesting take on the super villain and
super hero genre. The show is about a super villain, Darkstar aka Jessica James
(Jourdan Gibson) and Captain Amazing (Mark Pezzula) who hook up one night and
get pregnant. Throughout the show we see how Darkstar handles becoming a new
mother while still trying to be a bad guy.
What I really love about this show is the fact that even though it’s set
in a comic book world, it doesn’t focus much on the comic book element of the
show but more on the real life element of becoming a parent. I recommend this
show if you love superheroes or comedy.
(Super Knocked Up stars Jourdan Gibson, Mark Pezzula, Yvonne Perry, David Bunce, Daniela Malave, and Catherine Mancuso. The series is written/produced/directed by Jeff Burns).

2. Generic Girl: This is another superhero show that I’m really
into but not just because of the superhero elements but because there’s a hot
fucking redhead!! This is about a geek girl named Gillian Romero (Alexandra
Olson) and her aspiring superhero roommate Pete Kirby aka Captain Freelance (Matthew
Bohrer) as they encounter super villains, bureaucrats, and a mad talking
machine that has the hots for Gillian. I really liked watching this show
because it basically takes place all in a day for season one. Also you get to
see a girl who gives up her dream a bit but finds her way back to what she
loves doing.
(Generic Girl is created by Victor R. Solis & Steven Itano Wasserman and stars Alexandra Olson, Matthew Bohrer, Richard Hawkins, Sarah Ho, Robert Amico, Matthew Farhat, Christy Keller, Kristin McCoy, Jordan Preston, Momarcellus Robbins, Ryan Salazar, Johnny Skourtis, Darcell Hoover, Jade Nicole, Nataly Pena, Sarah Roberts, and Rochelle Roepke.)

3. NerdTerns: So this is a show that I really get
to nerd over!! In NerdTerns we get an inside look at what goes on with the crew
of Meltdown Comics, the home base for one of my favorite podcasts, The Nerdist
Podcast. When I first heard about this show, I felt very excited because this
was the first time I got to see into the world of not only The Nerdist but
Meltdown after hearing so much about it through people like Chris Hardwick and
Kevin Smith. In the first episode, we follow Aaron (Aaron Davidson) as he meets
the Meltdown crew and takes each of their tests in order to become an intern at
Meltdown. As the season goes on, we get to see all the adventures each crew
member has day in and day out while dealing with Benjamin Dunn’s character,
Ben. What’s also cool about this show are the cameos we get to see on each
episode. We get to see people like Chris Hardwick, Jonah Ray, DC Pierson, Chloe
Dykstra, Misti Dawn, and a lot more.

4. Geeks and Gamers Anonymous (GAGA):
So you’re addicted to video game or Role-playing, right? Then this is the group
you need to join. GAGA is a comedy show about three girl gamers addicted to
video games and role-playing games, like Dungeons & Dragons. This talks to
the gamer in me because, I know people who are kinda like each character in the
show, and when it comes to gaming, I will spend hours on one game. What I like
about this show is the fact that there’s no straight line for this show,
meaning that it does not follow much of a story line. One of my favorite
episodes is episode 5, “Video Game Madness”, which is basically a parody of the
all-time classic bad film, “Reefer Madness”. In this episode, we see what video
games to do to teens and how it can lead to something terrible. So if you are a
gamer of any kind, then check this show out.
(GAGA is created by Katrina Hill and also stars Katrina along with Brain Allen, Kimmy Britt, Rika Hollinshead Stead, & James Tyler Cates.)

5. The Joker Blogs: 2008
not only bought us the greatest Batman film of all time, (“The Dark Knight”),
but also bought us one of the greatest Jokers to date: Heath Ledger. Unfortunately,
before the movie was released, we lost Ledger to a drug overdose. Due to the
overdose, we would never get to see what would happen to Heath’s Joker in the
next film at all...or so we thought. As I was talking to one of my friends, he
told me about a web series that takes place in the world of “The Dark Knight”
called, “The Joker Blogs”. When I heard about this show I went to watch it immediately
and I was blown away. This is about what happens with The Joker in between “The
Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises” and how Harley Quinn tries to get into
the mind of the clown-faced villain. What’s awesome about this show is the way
they shoot the series, using a video camera for all of us to watch as the Joker
does his blog post, which means if the Joker decided to take you into the
bathroom that’s where we would go with him. Another thing I love about this
show is the writing—big time. Every episode and everything the character does
leads up to something else and an even bigger plan. Along with the series is a
sub series called “The Joker Blogs: Further Evidence”, which takes place in
between season 1 and the upcoming season 2. In Further Evidence, you get to see
what happens after season one, while also meeting other characters of the Dark
Knight universe. All and all if you are a big Batman, Joker, or DC Universe fan
then this is the show for you.
(The Joker Blogs is created by Scott McClure & Andrew DeVary and stars Scott McClure, Kira Westberg, Steven Molony, Kendra Cashmore, Andrew DeVary, Paul Vonasek, Ginny Glaser, and Torrey Halverson.)

Check out all these shows
whenever you get the chance to, because each show is a quick watch, and on top
of that, each show is one you can geek out over.
