REVIEW: A "New Y&R" Aims for Madcap Parody; Misses

Web Series: THE YOUNG & REBELLIOUS

For fans of...: THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

What it is: Corny daytime soap send-up.

What's good: Fast cars and a hot girl.

What's great: There is a certain train-wreck appeal.

What could be better: Not enough thought went into this series to lend it much “so-bad-it's-good” appeal, let alone the charm of soft-pedaled parody it seems to be reaching for. Plus, (and we hear the irony) the episodes are too short.

Addictive like...: Candy corn

Grade: C

Review based on: Episodes 1-5
