In the age of peak TV, it can be overwhelming to even contemplate indulging in any more media content. On the other hand, with episodes clocking in at an average of eight minutes, a web series is a far less ominous commitment than anything else on your binge watching list. In a post “High Maintenance” and “Insecure” world, more and more creators are using the web to deliver inventive entertainment, and many filmmakers are using the medium to push beyond conventional narrative structures.
In the Gotham Award-nominated web series “The F Word,” filmmaker Nicole Opper lovingly documented her parenthood journey with her wife Kristan, transforming the complicated and often painful foster-to-adopt process into a creative and playful docu-series. A sensitive story sprinkled with plenty of joy, the couple’s humor and intimacy makes for gripping viewing. The series came out in 2017, so it wasn’t eligible for this list, but...

In the new season of Insecure, Yvonne Orji’s Molly is having quite a year. She’s single. She’s has a new job. She went to Coachella. Everything seems to be going Ok for her, but when you focus in on the character, things aren’t exactly the best…but they aren’t the worst. Molly is just living her life and doing some major adulting right now — and Orji came by the New Hollywood Podcast to unpack all of it. Well, not all of it, but most of it.
A stand-up comedian, actress and a child of Nigerian immigrants, Orji is spiritually inclined. Even though that doesn’t exactly match up with Molly’s morals, Orji says that it comes with being an actor and working to be your authentic self. During our conversation, she talked about being spiritual in Hollywood and how it has affected her career.
