Storytellers (I) (2013– )
1/10
Terrible writing, and terrible acting that leaves you confused
21 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Storytellers is the worst web series I have ever seen.

Storytellers is suppose to be mash up of "Are you afraid of the dark", meets "Skins", (UK version). Each episode starts off when one of the characters, sitting around the campfire tells a story. Strangely enough, the story that they tell, seems to be about them and their P.O.V. One thing that made this series so terrible is that each episode is suppose to intertwine with one another, but sadly it only leaves most audience viewers confused.

After watching Storytellers these are the questions I was left with:

If these people are suppose to be such great friends telling stories around the campfire, why do they display such seriousness around one another?

If the stories they are telling are about a REAL situation that happened to them, then why are they re-telling the story to the people they experienced it with??

Why did Celia turn evil? Why did she fight with Hunter near the end? (I still didn't quite understand why she wanted to kill him)

These are just some of the questions looming in my mind after watching such a god awful web series. Whitney Milam, who wrote the series really needs to look back and truly ask herself, "was this good?" Because the writing didn't flow, some of the dialogue did not drive the story further, or make much sense. Also the acting was terrible. Joey Graceffa who plays, Hunter Crawley as the main destroyed what could have actually been good if he had not taken the role.

Hunter's character is suppose to be mysterious, ominous, bad boy. Instead, every time he speaks, we hear a bit of femininity break through his "tough demeanor."

Either way this web series will get mostly positive reviews because of the fan base Joey has. Most of his viewers are prepubescent girls who have no concept of what a good story, and what good acting is. Instead they'll look past Joey's terrible acting skills and see something fantastic.
