Carmilla

I would honestly recommend this to every single person I see if that were socially acceptable. Making female perspectives the default (in Tatiana Maslany's words) is so refreshing and just watching the show is empowering. It's cheesy romantic fantasy, yes, but: - there's a gender non-binary character - there are multiple gay characters - the main couple is lesbian - all of the lead roles are female - the girls save the boys, not the other way around - there's an emphasis on both girl-on-girl friendship and romantic attraction, portrayed better than those things usually are (probably because most creators/crew are women) So 8/10 for representation. It's just not a typical web series. It's obviously low-budget, but they do it well, and I think that actually allows you to focus more on the story. The acting is 7/10 overall, but they interact incredibly well with each other and the actors are such awesome people in real life that their personality shines through the characters. It's funny, heartwarming, frustrating, intelligent, romantic, silly, and serious all at the same time. I can't think of any other web series like it, nor any other series like it, for that matter. It's so unique, both in a "wtf how did they come up with that" way and in the way it handles fantasy and real issues together. I give it a 10/10 because it's one of those things that once you watch it, there's nothing specific you can say to explain why it affects you. Movies, series, books, and music that you truly love are often impossible to explain, you just have to watch it to understand. J Sheridan LeFanu wrote an excellent novella, but this adaptation is a whole new level of wonderful. The fandom is also really excellent. In short, if you're not watching Camilla, you're really missing out.

I undoubtedly recommend this great web series to all of you!For those who are not aware of it,carmilla is a vampire character from a book with the same title!This web series has everything that's necessary for a show to be worth watching it.The acting is great and the chemistry among the cast and especially between the two main characters creates a very special and unique atmosphere.The plot is interesting enough to keep you alert and wanting more and more episodes!Unfortunately each one of them is only lasts a few minutes, but that's what make your "desire" for this show growing!And the best part of all is the tension between carmilla and laura that will definitely leave you breathless!(and you can find the episodes on youtube)

The story and characters are all great. My only complaint is the format. This show would have been infinitely better if they didn't use the webcam gimmick. Every episode that is shot normally is so much more visually interesting. I know that this show was low-budget, and they probably couldn't have shown all the monsters and stuff, but just moving the camera around the room would've helped this show a lot. Its visually boring, and as it goes on it makes less and less sense why she's recording everything.

Wow. Where has this been hiding? I'm not one to watch web series. So, I went in expecting very little and I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I binged watched all four seasons in a row.

The story is really creative and fun. And I love the fact that they try and make it feel real. Just some random collage student who gets sucked into a world of vampires, magic and other creatures. There's no real quality with the filming, but the story is really fun. And every episode ends on a cliffier that makes you keep watching. It has a great intensity that sucks you right in and keeps your attention the entire time.

The acting is where the series wobbles a little. The main character Laura played by Elise Bauman is not a good actress. She sounds like she is saying lines and struggles to have emotion on her face. Everyone else is fantastic. They're all very smooth. But Laura's lack of ability really stands out like a sore thumb amongst everyone else who can act. She does get annoying after awhile. But near the ending of the last season she did improve a little.

I really enjoyed the lesbian relationship in the series. It was my favourite thing about the entire show. I loved how natural and normal they made it. There was nothing to hide or explain, it was just like any other relationship. This made the show down right good. What was even better is it wasn't just all butterfies and roses. There was lots of great drama, funny moments and slow burns.

I would have watched this series a long time ago if i would have known it existed. Many times I searched on google for lesbian series or movies and I never saw this on the list. The other day I did an extensive search on google and randomly stumbled across this series. I wish it would have better advertised. The series really deserves it.

Although the series starts a little slow and might lack the bigger budgets of more dynamic online series, it has a honest and antiquated atmosphere which lets you connect deeply with the characters; not unlike a Harry Potter miniseries.

The recent popularity of this series is unprecedented and continues to march beyond 10 million Youtube Views (end of 2014).

It's also a breath of fresh air at how the characters gender and sexual identities are unabashedly poised and brings a fresh breath of normalcy to modern relationships.

The lead (Elise Bauman) and title lead (Natasha Negovanlis) actors who play Laura and Carmilla are charmingly believable and are able to bring their own genuine and entertaining wit. The supporting cast complement each other splendidly and are well developed as well as entertaining.

I strongly recommend giving this show a watch if you're a guy or girl, straight or not so straight as you will find that long lost fun mixing in old school Buffy, Sabrina with a mix of modern Sookie Stackhouse.
