Hearts of New England

This is fantstic. Just finished the first 9 episodes and it's great! Great directing and cinematography. Sheri Lee and Tyler Hajas' scenes arethe best in my opinion! Very DaVID Lynch-esque! Surprisingly great on such a low budget! I just wish they'd release episodes more frequently.

Showed my kids (15m) (16f) episode 4 "Lights Out" and now they're stoked. Fortin really knows how to construct an epic fight scene. Reminds me a lot of the fights scenes in John Wick. Season 1 was a little short but I appreciate what's been put out so far.

Youtube is mostly just clickbait and reposts of clickbait at this point, so it's nice to see genuinely talented creators introducing something new to the website. The only reason I gave it a 9/10 is because of some minor (but noticeable) imperfections. Some performances are noticeably better than others (imo the best performances are from Sebastian, Andrew, Angela, Mindy, and Jack) and the lighting leaves something to be desired, but the cast and crew have clearly poured their heart and soul into this project. That's more than can be said about a lot of garbage shows on the internet right now. If this series were to become more popular, I would love to see them reproach this property with a bigger budget. The show is great but there is a lot of untapped potential there.

H.ON.E. randomly showed up on my youtube feed today and now I'm hooked! I didn't expect it to grip me as much as it did. Most independent films/series are medicore at best. In my opinion, H.O.N.E. and Love is Blind are the only examples of independent film-making that break the mold. The last fight scene between Sebastian and the gang members made my cousin a bit emotional. I definitely saw him tearing up, no matter how hard he tries to deny it!

Overall, the acting is impressive (especially from Kris Salvi's character), the script is well written, the action is fantastic, and the characters have believable chemistry. I would recommend it to anybody that is sick of "samey" crime-drama and wants something fresh and new.
