Blue Steel

If you are looking for a web series with T.V level film and sound quality, you are better off looking elsewhere. But for the rest of you, be rest assured that the gritty camera style works - somewhat in a similar way to 'Clerks' in the 90's (not to mention the fact that like Clerks, the series embraces all things geeky with enough references to rival the amount used by Tarantino).

The characters are charming, the costumes creative and the acting perfect. Not in the sense that the acting or dialogue is truly believable - not at all in fact. Blue Steel is a fiction story in a non fiction world, and the character's personalities emulate comic book heroes, with a dash of 80's cheese (think 16 candles, breakfast club etc). It is not a parody, rather a pastiche to certain films and genres that the creators plainly adore.

All in all, excluding a few minor flaws (we will forgive them for the odd stretch without action) Blue Steel is a charming and creative watch and should be enjoyed by many. Bring on series 2.
