Venice the Series

It's a shame that this wasn't correct when first posted, but i am very happy to see Hope Royaltey given the directorial credit she is due - as she was the director for all but half of two episodes in season one. Maybe her editing time will be credited as well if enough people say something about the fact that it should be... the webseries itself is sufficiently entertaining. Gorgeous to look at, with some great scenery and sun sets. The director of photography is a very talented man and has created some beautiful moments. the writing is OK, but often i found that it was the cast or the scenery or loyalty to the idea that made me keep coming back. will i watch season 2 - probably yes. will i be as invested as i was in season one - definitely no.

Watch the 1st episode and you are hooked for life.

Not only Crystal Chappell & Jessica Leccia set the screen on fire, the rest of the cast is amazing too.

I guess in addition to Star Power, Venice also have the location. The scenery is amazing : Venice Beach takes the centre in the series with it's lovely atmosphere and wide sandy beaches.

And wait to see the story line that develops which is the real hook in this show.

So don't wait - Watch season 1 as Season 2 is just around the corner.

Ps: Venice the Series changed my life. I can't wait to see what it will do to yours :-)

Thanks to Crystal Chappell and Kim Turrisi - I love you both.

Only reason I didn't give this a 10 was because the writing was a bit cliché for me in parts, oh and eppy 2.

Venice the series has all the ingredients for success. Beauty abounds in this web series both with location shots and the cast. Jessica Leccia is just a beauty to behold. Nadia Bjorlin is her love interest and the two of them make this show all about the pretty. They are so lovely to watch. Crystal Chappell has her work cut out for her in season 2, but looking forward to seeing the pretty that Crystal has gathered together for this project. Guiding Light's Otalia my have been the spark that got this series going, but Jessica Leccia and company have what it takes to keep it going sans Otalia undertones. Looking forward to season two and seeing Jessica Leccia shine. #FreeAni

Venice........ Love it. Why do I love it? The first thing that comes to mind is Crystal Chappell. Just the fact that she went to the trouble to create this series speaks volumes to me. Of course there are other reasons. The cinematography is beautiful, the story interesting, the acting, outstanding. What is there not to love? I look forward to experiencing season two. If you have not viewed season one, I highly suggest you give it a chance. Venice is not perfect, but either is life. I do know... that like a fine wine..... Venice will improve and just become better. After all it is a work in progress. So sit back, put your feet up and drink it in! Love you Crystal and Kimmy! Thanks so much!

This is an amazing soap opera web series created from the ground up by actress Crystal Chappell and her writing partner after her lesbian storyline on Guiding Light was extinguished when GL was canceled. She was able to amass a great cast of other soap actors to play supporting roles, including her love-interest from GL, Jessica Leccia. The production values on the show are impressive, and Season 2 looks to be even better. This is not shot on Sony handycams people! It has gay characters on it but also straight, and is a "soap" so there are family issues, and mysterious intrigue. Chappell went to the web with the show to avoid TV exec censorship of the gay storyline and language. It doesn't show as much 'skin' as The L Word sometimes did, much to some fans' dismay, but there's only been one 'season' and the creators are still trying to get the characters established.
