Welcome back to the series of posts here at SciFi Mafia that we’re calling Web Series Wednesday where we devote a space to the wonderment of the web series. Every Wednesday we’ll cover two awesome web series shows and give you all the info to get into them.

If you’ve got a favorite web series you’d like us to cover, head on over to the Contact Us page and shoot us your request. To catch up on past Web Series Wednesday posts click here.

This week we’re covering Platoon of Power Squadron and Neil’s Puppet Dream.

The Platoon of Power Squadron was sent to us as a suggestion by SciFi Mafia reader Alexx (thanks for the web series submission!) .I haven’t watched all the episodes yet, but I’m really excited by what I’ve seen so far.

It follows a group of 20-somethings who have special abilities. It has the feel of Heroes (Season One) or X-Men. The show starts with a super homemade feel but I did skip to Episode 5 to just take a peek at the quality, through a pop up suggestion, and it looks much better produced. The writing has less of that homemade feel and more of a real life snark that is what sells this show for me. I’m really looking forward getting caught up!

You can check out all the episodes on their YouTube playlist.

Neil Patrick Harris has a great little web show on the Nerdist YouTube Channel called Neil’s Puppet Dreams which follows his narcoleptic adventures through his dreams populated by puppets. Don’t mistake this for a kids show. It’s completely inappropriate and awesome, but not for kids. Besides the puppets and the singing and dancing, it also is full of guest stars and Easter eggs.
