I know it's not new and it's already been well-recognized, but I recently watched the "The Guild" online series. I thought it was pretty good. I expected it to suck, due to the subject matter. Just didn't see how it could be interesting. I often get proven wrong when I think like that though.
The writing is snappy and the actors are funny/good. Plus there are lots of generally awkward freaky moments, especially in the first season, which I liked. I mean, at least in the first season, they seem like pretty believable online gaming freaks. (The other seasons are good too, but I think they become a bit more like caricatures of their characters, if that makes sense)
edit: I take it back...I rewatched the 2nd season last night, and I think it's more that you get used to the characters so you're a bit less suprised by their behavior, so most of the humor comes from the situations they're in. The main characters are still great though.
I do really like the writing though...</edit>
Barely relatedly, I am currently obsessing over the fact that Felicia Day was homeschooled and wondering what the implications of that are.
