Web Series: OUT WITH DADFor fans of...: SWITCHED AT BIRTH; ANYONE BUT ME; It Gets Better Project
What it is: Poignant father/daughter relationship is challenged by sexual coming-of-age.
What's good: It's sweet, sincere, and relate-able. Fun, unexpected special effects heighten drama and develop characters.
What's great: Instead of being another coming-out story, it's really all about the very real interactions and psychodrama between father and daughter. The showrunner is a heterosexual father, lending a unique sincerity and point of view.
What could be better: When viewed in comparison to Indie Soaps with daring, unusual premises, big stars, or big budgets, it seems a bit “mom and pop.” Admittedly, the realness does lend something to the appeal.
Addictive like...: Your first kiss.
Grade: B+
Review based on: Season 1; Season 2 Episode 1

I have never watched a web series before,but, Out With Dad might be my first one. "Realness" does have appeal because people can gain insight into their own relationships. Thanks for keeping your readers informed.
