A unique sort of show, but one you shouldn't miss

Finally, a show that the gamers among us can relate to.

Felicia day has done an amazing job with this series. The characters are near perfect parodies of the different personalities you run into in gaming culture, and each is so brilliantly broken that you cant help but fall in love with them.

Codex, played by Felicia Day, has a dry and self deprecating sense of humor that any of the socially awkward among us will find ourselves relating to only minutes into the first episode. Zaboo, played by Sandeep Parikh, is nothing if not unique and brings a sense of awkward naivety to the show that parodies the popular stereotype of gamers perfectly. Felicia Day was an avid gamer for years and captured the culture with a perfect mix of accuracy and satire, and anyone who has ever so much as dipped a toe into the world of online gaming will find themselves hooked.

**It started out as a web series, so the episodes are quite short. I recommend watching them on Netflix, where they have been compiled into hour and a half long "seasons" with no having to choose new episodes in between.

score 9/10
