6 Original Web Series You Should Probably Watch Instead Of TV

It’s time we come to terms with the fact that TV is dying. Especially for our generation, who barely watch TV anymore. Repeats of Hollywood TV serials and abominable Indian melodramas are all that we get. And thus, hyper torrenting becomes our only option.

So what do we do? Well, we use our Internet for some other fruitful entertainment, like watch web series. You may like them, you may hate them, but they are the next big thing in town and you simply cannot ignore them. Especially these epic ones:

1. Baked

You know how sometimes things don’t go according to plan and you end up in deep shit? Well, this epic stoner comedy, a first of its kind with 40 characters, 30 locations, and 22-minute-long episodes, will remind you of all the times you got baked . Revolving around three crazy DU students/flatmates and their hilarious misadventures, this series will take you on a crazy Delhi Belly-like rollercoaster ride you must gear up for now if not sooner!

P.S.: Sorry for the shameless plug, but this shit is actually good and has been getting rave reviews.

Here’s the trailer . The first two episodes are already out. You can watch them here.

2. Permanent Roommates

The Viral Fever’s ultimate creation on relationship chronicles. Revolving around the lives of Tanya and Mikesh, who’ve been in a long-distance relationship for 3 long years, the plot begins with an unexpected marriage proposal from Mikesh.

With guest stars like Kristen Connolly ( House of Cards) amongst others, this show is by far the best you can create on homosexuality.

6. Video Game High School
