Been meaning to recommend this show for a while now. Circledrawers is a pretty unique web series project, a collaboration between people in Iceland and New York. It centres on a group of angels, bumbling their way through life as they have to complete a list of 1571 tasks to enable them to be reborn as human. With incredibly high production values, and an intriguing take on the concept of the spirit world, this really is a great show, and deserves peoples' attention.

The story is slow burning, drip feeding the audience with the concepts behind its universe. The acting is great, and the writing spare and well realised, with interesting and entertaining characters. The lead guy has a fantastic accent and delivery, which really helps set the pace and tone. I've just watched episode 6, and the story is really starting to coalesce now, and I'm looking forward to watching the whole thing - I haven't yet, but I'm definitely interested in the series download (bargain price of only $2.99).

It's great to see drama instead of comedy (and I say this as a writer of a sitcom), hopefully it's a sign of even better things to come -
if shows like this can get made and be successful on the web, then the future of web tv really is very bright ...
