The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo

I'd noticed TGAWLoCG floating around YouTube since it's 2016 release and only decided to give is a watch last night. Cue NON-STOP LAUGHS.

The length of these 15min episodes creates a storyline with cracking pace, eliminating dull moments ans ensuring another gag never more then a few moments away.

The cast are a talented bunch of comedians, with Jonathan Ebeling (Billy), Antonio Marziale (Benicio) and series creator Alvarez (Caleb) bringing turn-on-a-dime pathos that, elevates this show from just another web-series to genuine artistic production.

A special mention also goes to Jason Greene's turn as Aunt Freckle - a true new character - that will surely become an cultural icon in the coming years if the characters social media presence is anything to go by.

Perhaps what is most interesting about this show is that it dialogue and storyline both reflects realism and hyper-realism present in technological age. The series has really captured the irreverent nature of the current zeitgeist; one of gender fluidity, open emotions and immediacy.

Surely Alvarez has already pitched the show to Netflix (it did come out 3 years ago) but I really do hope it gets a revisit from the powers that be. It's a joyful show.
