Full of quick wit, out of this world acting, and side splittingly amazing humor, The Veronica Exclusive is a one of a kind sort of web series. Based on the cult classic, this show has managed to take the concept of "Heathers" and pull it into the modern day without losing any of the quirky dark humor that made the original as fantastic as it does.

Casey Caplin takes on the role of Veronica Sawyer as if she was born to play the part, and creates the backbone of the show, which all of the other actors build off of. Megan Lambie's new female take on the classic role of Jason Dean (now re-imagined as "Jane Dean") adds a new layer to the character never before seen in either the movie or musical adaptation. While still remaining cynical and snarky, the casual format of the show allows for far more touching moments between Jane Dean and Veronica, portraying their relationship far more realistically than the other adaptations.

While the rest of the cast is stellar (Lyric Bowman's Martha, Lizzy Phipps' Heather McNamara, and Roan O'Brien's Ram Sweeney popping into my head particularly.) To me, the stand out star besides our romantic leads has to be Kadi Brazil as Heather Chandler. Playing Heather as almost more of a Regina George than the original movie version of Heather, Kadi manages to perfectly capture the wonderful bitchiness of the movie while dragging her away from her shoulder pad ridden 80's kicking and screaming into 2015.

An amazing series, with a cast talented beyond your wildest dreams, The Veronica Exclusive is well on it's way in my eyes to becoming the next Lizzie Bennett Diaries. While not at the same production value, the imperfection that comes with the shooting technique makes the characters that much more real in my eyes. If you haven't already seen this show, then go carve out an hour or two of your day and do it. I promise you, there won't be a single second of your time that is wasted in this masterpiece.
