Re: Ragged Isle

The first few episodes of season 2 of Ragged Isle have been uploaded, and so far I'm still enjoying it! The series won 3 Indie Soap Opera awards: for best Web series, best cinematography, and best director of a drama (Barry Dodd).

Still seems to be at least partly an homage to Dark Shadows. They have introduced a new character with a last name that will be familiar to friends of DS. The opening voiceovers include "My name is Vicki Burke" and also include at least one sentence that starts "There are those who...."

The story wasn't quite what I expected but is still fascinating and full of surprises. (I actually cried at one point.) My one complaint is the unpleasantly de-nasalized voice of the actress who plays the heroine, Vicky Burke. Yup, that's her name, and there are a few more nice little nods to DS scattered throughout.

All the episodes except for the finale are up, so you can binge-watch to your heart's content.
