Mr. Deity
Mr. Deity shows what can be achieved with a static camera, a simple script, minimalist set design and great acting. Episode 5 was released yesterday. By releasing an episode every 2 weeks the producers hope to garner enough interest to turn it into a full TV series.
It’s funny, and although it’s based on the Christian dogma of the holy trinity for its main characters (so far), the humour is delivered with enough brickbat simplicity that anyone can appreciate the gags.
At a time when FOX is taking legal action against YouTube (owned by Google) for distributing it’s copyright content without license (after a user uploaded it) it nice to see the opposite side of the coin – YouTube being used to generate a fan base for a show that may one day get snapped up by the likes of FOX.
[Update: When Em watched the intro to the second episode she had a flash of inspiration. "Oh I want that ringtone!" said she. I've asked Mr. Deity who (obviously speaking through Metatron) said "Yeah, I'm gonna do that soon". Cooool. I've been in places all over the UK where I've heard the CTU ringtone, but having a Mr. Deity alert would slightly up the exclusivity ante.]
[Ringtone Update: Mr. Deity Ringtone now available.

Wow, when the 12th and final season of Mr.Deity finishes in 2019 and Warner Google Broadcasting commission a follow-up series entitled “Larry”, that comment might be worth something on ebay. Of course, I’d never sell it; it’ll be a family heir loom.
