The trailer looks good. 5 episodes are up so far: 2 minutes-3:50 in length each.
for some reason the guy in the white shirt and red tie reminds me of Shaun of the Dead.

The series looks like a lot of stuff I've seen before, not really that interesting and it's got the same amateurish acting that is the bane of a lot of web series.

What's more interesting is the corporate sponsorship with Dell Alienware. They're using this series to build brand awareness. Good first step, but I think Dell might up their standards for their "advertising" - what they really need is something a lot more compelling than this, something that would spread like wildfire and attract a lot of attention.

With corporate sponsorship behind it, there's really no excuse for the bad acting and general boringness of it all. This isn't some shoestring fan production.
