I was already a big fan before I even read the Pilot. Like in Darken House you mange to do an incredible amount character depth and world building with a very low page count. The Pilot does a great job of really establishing Shane and Kellan’s roles not only in within their own relationship but also within the crazy ass world they live in. I can’t help but think character depth might suffer once Stina and her crew arrive. On the other hand, you’ve more than proven that you’re capable of making the most out of what little time per episode the webisode format allows so I’m pretty confident you can make this work. To sum up, I love the concept and the Pilot has me thirsty for more. With your track record I’d have no problem giving this my stamp of approval should you decide to go further with it.

I love this.And honestly, I think Criss is perfect for the part, as is Adler! I love the relationship between the two! This really took me by surprise, I expected it to be gritty and serious like all end of the world movies and shows and yet this was sorta tongue-in-cheek fun. A highlight was the bloody vampire giving them a friendly nod. It made me laugh out loud, it was just so random! I may be suffering from a lack of sleep sending me slightly hyper but I very, very much liked this. It's funny and it's awesome and I'd totally read a full series.

I love it!! Oh my freakin' god, that Pilot was amazing. The way you effectively introduce us to this crazy world within the city and how they just keep living on as 'normal' in there. Pacing was also great; I could see all the scenes unfolding one after the other without trouble. On another note... did what I think happened happen in that last scene? xD

Just popping in to say how awesome this is. A Few Points: I love how unashamedly GAY Shane and Kellan are. It's not like BRS where a lot of it is done or hammed up for comedy. It's not like QAF where there's always some kind of very pointed message behind the characters being gay. They are real people in this unreal world, a real couple, who just happen to be gay. They work so well together, work around each other's traits and mannerisms so that they almost seem like two sides of the same person. This little world being created is already so vivid and you just ... get it. You don't need to be told what's happening here, it just makes sense. And the potential is MEGA. There's so much you could do with this and that much is evident after the first few pages. The fact that all this has been achieved in such a short script is a testament that you can do anything in this format if you just put the effort in. Big thumbs up and if this show doesn't explode (in a good way) then I might just (in a bad way).

And the show has officially premiered! Post your thoughts here, and get ready, as you'll be getting an episode a day between now and the midseason break after episode 1x13.
So get ready for four more episodes this week, and in the meantime, post your thoughts on the series premiere here!

That was a good start. I think it is something that I could stay involved with. It will be interesting to see where this goes. I first thought they were brothers! I definitely will be back to check it out.

I wasn't as enamoured with 1x02, if I'm honest. The sexuality is being laid on a bit thick considering it's the world that's more interesting (currently).
Will check out 1x03 later today. Intrigued to know where this is headed.
