Last year, we sought to capture this collective magic by sharing some of our favourite online series’ and one offs on the big screen. It went down a treat, so ‘Best of the Web’ is back this year for one night only with a couple of online discoveries we think you’ll love (if you’re not already familiar).
Issa Rae’s seminal series Awkward Black Girl premiered on YouTube in 2011. It then won a Shorty Award for Best Web Series in 2012, and by 2016 HBO had picked it up and turned it into the series Insecure which ran until 2021. Not bad hey? It’s funny, well-written, has great performances, and fully deserves its plaudits.
We’re going to show every episode from the two seasons - broken down into two sections: 6 - 7:30pm and 9:30 - 10:30pm.
