INDIE SOAP BEAT Extra: PALISADES POOL PARTY

PALISADES POOL PARTY explores the world of teens living in the affluent beach community of the Pacific Palisades utilizing a unique brand of storytelling. It’s been described as THE O.C. meets 24. The drama one comes to expect over the course of multiple seasons on teen shows like ONE TREE HILL, GOSSIP GIRL and 90210 plays out in a mere twenty-four hours leading up to and during the soon-to-be legendary pool party.

“For as much as teens use the Internet as a source of entertainment, we felt there was a real lack of teen programming,” says director and co-creator, Jack Monroe. “And certainly in the serialized drama department; I can’t think of any other web series doing what we’re doing. There are user-generated teen shows, but they are mostly comedies and often lack production value.”

If you haven't watched yet, you can check out the first three episodes here.

  1. Good production values.

    Why couldn't they hire real teen aged actors? It's like 90210, teens that look closer to 25/30 than 15.
