My New Obsession: L.A. Macabre

I can't believe it has almost been five years since I first told you about the web series L.A. Macabre

As you may recall, L.A. Macabre is very much a show within a show, where the main characters have a web series called L.A. Macabre, which explores notorious, real-life crime stories in Los Angeles. 


The focus of that show soon shifts to a former cult called "The New Family," bringing a lot of unwanted attention to Ryan, Jamie, and Colin, the show's creators. 

This ultimately leads to Jamie's mysterious disappearance in the last episode of season 1.

Recently, I had the privilege of getting a sneak peek of L.A. Macabre's long-awaited second season and all I can say is WOW!

As impressed as I was by the show's first season, season two surpassed all of my expectations. Everything is bigger this season - the show's settings, the storyline, and the exceptionally talented cast.

I particularly enjoyed the addition of actor Joel Bryant, whose pivotal role brings some much needed comedic relief to the show's second season, which is even more intense than the first.

While I don't want to give anything away about season 2, I am told that it was produced with a very small crew and a tiny budget. And I have to say that if producer Dan Ast and company can put together a show of this caliber with so little, then they have truly raised the bar for every other series out there.

Season 1 of L.A. Macabre has been re-formatted and will be released along with season 2 at a later date. Keep checking back here for updates on when and where you can watch both seasons. In the meantime, here are a couple of teasers to tide you over:
