Brandon has done what season 4 of Arrested Development couldn't. Even though this is in modern times and with more modern technology, Brandon still captured the vibe of the early 2000s web-series. But that just shows the amount of love that Brandon had for this project, unlike Netflix when they brought back arrested development for a season 4.

[@BulbaWhat98]

Theater Class was a late 2000s/early 2010s web-series, but yeah. This is such a great followup

[@Gibberish_jdhfhduebkqi]

Bit of a long one I know but just wanted to say thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into this. It’s obvious from this, and everything else on the channel that everything is very carefully curated specifically for each series and I love everything about it. I also love how the writing is effected by the type of show as well. Like, in Bryce for example, having the characters breaking the fourth wall and interact with the camera man would have been out of the question because Bryce was about elegance, glam, and style. However, with something like class act, the mmm those very things are if anything, discouraged. Also love how the characters were separated in this episode. It really helps the dynamics evolve and will be very helpful to repeat after the climax to show the character development I’m more then sure all of them will have made. I can’t wait to see all the new depth and dynamics that evolve in future and thank you so much to Brandon for ( and rest of cast and crew of corse) for creating this. Man really is a genius
