“Let me tell you something about this turkey…”

This is a web series about two New York princesses (like Meadow Soprano) who become roommates in L.A.

The gimmick and the accents gets stale really fast, but there’s a few good laughs here. I can’t decide if I like the fact that these two characters are almost exact clones of each other, or not. I can see the appeal, but at the same time they’re in the same world as each other. For this web series to grow, they’ll have to find a character who isn’t them to play off.

But a pretty decent first episode, it gets you right into the story and the characters without spending too much time on set up. Camera work is a little too “mockumentary” for my tastes, but decent. The sound’s pretty good, editing keeps it moving at a nice pace and the whole episode is a good length. It just didn’t pop for me. Let’s see what the second episode has in store for us.
