Web Series: The Mis-adventures of Awkward Black Girl

Awkward Black Girl is a fantastic web series that came out in 2011. Created by and starring producer/director/writer Issa Rae, Awkward Black Girl or ABG is a witty, oddball comedy that has a black female, nerdy character as it's main protagonist! Gasp! 'J' is a socially awkward, young woman living in LA and working a job she hates at a call centre. The show tells sees her muddle her way through life's various predicaments with love, work and friendships.  It's well acted and actually hilarious! Also, with run-times ranging from 5 to15 mins per episode, the show is brilliantly concise. Unlike a lot of other web shows, with ABG you are left feeling eager for the next instalment rather than wondering where the missing pieces of the current episode are. ABG went viral after the first season, following this, the show was picked up by Pharrell Williams' 'i am OTHER' channel. Now it's currently in the middle of season 2 and the show is getting better and better!  Have a watch of this short first episode, you'll be hooked!

And here's episode two aswell...
