Mr. Deity

Warning you must be Brilliant to enjoy Mr. Deity because Mr. Deity is Brilliant! I just discovered Mr Deity today, watched about 5 episodes and wow the courage is just refreshing. I have been an Atheist for a while and I am not accustomed to such high quality programming.

A former Mormon, Mr.Deity started this skit show on youtube to entertain the quandaries of a "God's" reasoning for his decision, if he was a bit of a business man with an assistant. In this case, Mr.Deity is not glorified but bit made fun of for his cruel logic and a splash of stupidity.

Lucy, also known as Lucifer is his smarter and better half… as well as his on and off going girlfriend. I've been watching this when there were only 7 episodes, and I must say that the quality of content has gone down since the initial episodes, but the concept and execution is still solid.

The production of this web series is actually quite high, almost of that of a SNL digital short. The acting as well as the writing are thought-out and witty.

This show definitely does not defend or defy the teaching of God. It's mostly just a verbal satire based on the musings of faith and God.

While the digital age has engendered a rash of substandard content, only a few creators have really managed to capitalize on the strength of the internet as a distribution medium. The unfortunate truth is that when anyone can produce and distribute a movie (series, talk show, etc.), then 99.9% of what's out there is going to be garbage -- or, to be charitable, good for a quick chuckle before moving on. What Dalton et al. have done is to bring true talent to the table, putting them in extraordinarily limited company. Top-notch satiric writing, A-level performances, professional production values (don't let the minimalist sets fool you), and flawless comedic direction make this an absolute must-watch (along with Barry Gribble's "Buddy Jackson," probably the only web sitcoms I'd pursue so avidly).
