Our Town is a heartfelt testament to what independent web drama can achieve when passion and place come together. Steve Farrell's multi-role leadership results in a series that feels both personal and purposeful-if rough in execution, then authentic in spirit.
If you're drawn to character-focused storytelling, local realism, and grassroots filmmaking, Our Town is worth discovering.

A great portrayal of gritty drama set in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Focuses on complex characters with their problems based on love, hate, sex, drugs, alcohol, death and life. Steven Farrell delivers a fantastic cast in this low budget youtube series that could be compared to Coronation Street, Eastenders or Emmerdale Farm. A nice soap opera that we didn't ask for yet didn't expect at the same time. A wide variety of interesting episodes that take place in Gorleston, Birmingham and Gt Yarmouth. I didn't want to switch it off. Thought it was brilliant from start to finish and I hope there's more episodes to come with this one.
Our Town is a heartfelt testament to what determined storytelling can accomplish, even without big-budget backing. Its strength lies in its everyday realism, warmth, and the sense of community-it doesn't rely on spectacle but on an enduring emotional pull.
For viewers craving down-to-earth drama with human flaws, grit, and emotional resonance, Our Town is a rewarding, long-running journey. If you're curious to explore the lives of Great Yarmouth residents as episodes unfold week after week, this indie soap might just become unexpectedly indispensable.

How much drama and tragic circumstances. Our Town, created by Steven Ferrell on youtube, has helped me through my own issues. It is so relatable and realistic with their deep and meaningful characters like Liam, Bailey, Karen and Dale. Those are just a handful of the many people featured in this long-running show. It was like looking at myself from the outside. To react to the same situation from a different perspective on multiple occasions episode-by-episode. 'Our Town' helped me overcome, open up and understand so much about the rise and fall of life, I couldn't believe but am forever grateful for.
I think at first the show was starting to take off too early and was only a series of short films practically. Now it's a genuine continuation like many soap operas. The show is a great portrayal of modern lives and families in a suburban seat coast town. Personally the show is at its peak from season 12 onwards. It's currently on great anticipation with certain characters and their dramas that it leaves you wanting more as each episode ends. I think it's great for a free series on YouTube and I urge everybody to see this. I wish more episodes have a longer duration in length i.e 30 minutes or something.
