I was browsing the net and I came across this new internet show called Quarter Life. I was hooked after the trailer opened.

Dylan states in the trailer “What is a blog? Why do we blog? We blog to exist…”, I was hooked after that.

Synopsis

The Internet Series: QuarterLife

quarterlife is the new online series from Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creative team behind “My So-Called Life,” “thirtysomething,” “Legends of the Fall,” and “Blood Diamond.” It is the first time a true, network-quality series has been produced directly for the Internet. And it’s the first time an independent project of this distinction has been owned and controlled by its creators.

Known for their incisive portrayals of relationships and experience during life’s key passages, in quarterlife Herkovitz and Zwick take on those crucial years between 20 and 30, when so many of life’s important decisions are made. quarterlife tells the ongoing stories of six creative people in their twenties. As with their earlier series, at the center of quarterlife is a commitment to realism, the recognition of universal human themes through the truthful depiction of the way young people speak, work, think, love, argue, and just goof around.

Starting with Dylan, a young woman whose overly truthful video blog (on quarterlife.com of course) spills the closest secrets of her friends, the show’s characters – filmmakers Danny and Jed, actress-bartender Lisa, geek-extraordinaire Andy, and still-tied-to-her-parents Debra – chart the sometimes excruciating, sometimes comic, often emotional experiences that comprise coming of age in the 21st Century.

The series showcases the what I go through everyday. Being 25 there comes a time when you have really understand that it’s time to make it. With the advent of computers and the net, there has been a rise in college applications. This is great, however that means there is a rise in college graduates.

A college degree is not what it use to be. To be more competitive we have to strive for greatness. MTV and other media outlets portrays that we can be something, that we are special. But living the harsh realities of post-college work hours, you feel cheated. Cheated that there should have been a warning sign in college telling you that work is really work. It’s hard and it’s not how media portrays it.

Its gratifying to know that this generation of 20’s somethings can relate to the struggles that this series will showcase. Maybe that’s why Friends was so popular?? Check out the trailer and let me know what you think.
