Through my most recent
hook-up, Twitter, I have discovered a whole new universe of things.
One
of them is web television.
Thanks to Geek & Sundry I plunged head-first into watching some
very funny series, and now
am even contributing in a small way by translating subtitles for
their new series Caper.
For someone like me, who
never turns my TV on anymore, web TV is an excellent solution. It is
not so much that I do not
like watching TV, I just hate commercial breaks, and dubbing, and
subtitles, and having no
control over what comes on.
So being able to choose what
I want to watch, when I want to watch it, pausing whenever I
need to, and not having to
put up with commercials, well it is just awesome. Those TV
channels that put their
content out on the Intertubes in addition to broadcasting it the
traditional way - kudos.
For those of us not in the
U.S., and thus not able to use Hulu, YouTube is a great
alternative. I also
discovered that Amazon has a web TV section with some exclusive web
series. One I personally
enjoyed was Bosch, a new murder mystery police series. Not so much
because the concept is
unique or anything, but I find the characters intriguing and would
very
much like to learn more
about them.
All in all I think Luke
(Caper) hit the nail on the head when he said that "no one
watches TV
anymore anyway. All the good
stuff is on the Internet".
Thus I leave you with this
list of web TV series from Wikipedia. Have fun.
