Blue Steel (2012)
Local heroes
An amazing web series that goes to show what a dedicated group of friends can do. The location work is always well chosen. The fact that everything from the Enchanted Forest to Blue's flat was shot within a 10 mile radius is incredible. Even compared to programmes made with a much higher budget, the special effects are excellent - especially when fantasy and reality begin to blur. The plot reveals just enough each episode to keep you guessing and then adds twists later on. Despite fantasy elements the characters still feel real with natural language, which is a credit to both writers and actors. Each character has a chance to develop and none are entirely one dimensional. Misunderstood teen or evil inherent? Horrible boss or over-stressed manager? Society restorer or supervillain? It's these psychological questions that I enjoyed the most. Question reality and the nature of heroism!
