Web Series Reviews - VENICE and THE BAY



VENICE - Season 2, Episodes 1 and 2: So far, so good. Crystal Chappell as "Gina" is very angsty as she tries to deal with her anger against her father ("The Colonel" played by Jordan Clarke) and her breakup with Ani (Jessica Leccia). The roles that Crystal Chappell, Galen Gering (Owen) and Nadia Bjorlin (Lara) play are so much more interesting than their DAYS OF OUR LIVES counterparts. A shout-out for Hilary B. Smith (Guya) and Gina Tognoni (Sami)for their great work. I'm wondering if Galen Gering is asking himself why he always seems to be a character who is going to bed with other characters named "Sami"...

THE BAY - Season 1, Episodes 2 and 3: More plot build-up with the Garretts. Honestly, I'm hoping to see the plot move a little faster since we already have the character build-up from the "Confessions". I also think there's no need for the repeating dialogue at the beginning of Episode 3. With ten minute episodes, that's just not necessary. The potential's good but I'm hoping for more build-up. Three cheers for Camden Toy who pretty much stole Episode 3 with his two lines of dialogue. More Igor...more Igor!!! Awaiting what's coming up next...
