The Web and 1 Hearts Wage Slaves
Posted on: September 26, 2009No comments yet
The Web and 1, a blog that “reviews original made-for-the-web series,” just posted a ridiculously awesome review of Wage Slaves!
The piece is amazingly long and involved — I swear I don’t know the writer, Andy Asensio, but I am having many amorous feelings for him just now.
Here’s a taste:
Wage Slaves is pretty bleak, a show about a group of coffeehouse employees stuck in a dead-end situation and desperately hoping that their lives will turn around. Bleak, but also terrific — there’s nothing laborious about having to sit through this show. It’s really, really good.
Wage Slaves employs a perfectly executed blend of comedy and drama. You’ll empathize with all of these characters, while also getting to laugh both with and at them….It’s fun because the bleakness of these characters’ situations is coupled with some really strong humor.
How much did I like it? This much: the rare 10 out of 10.

The Web and 1 also mentions the show in a (far less favorable) review of another web-series, calling it “super-low-budget but rather excellent.” I might have that tattooed on my arm.
(P.S. to Lexus: you can give me the budget for Puppy Love, instead.)
