User Reviews

jPod - A summary

Some elements are entertaining, however this series seems completely out of touch with the industry it's portraying. Working in the games and Animation industry myself I'm aware of the funny and entertaining aspects, and this hits none of them.

The series appears to have two tangents, If i was the creator I would focus on the side story involving one of the employees, as the 'work' side of it COMPLETELY misses. Yet another example of a lack of research and advisers.

The characters themselves aren't bad, production quality good.

Completely out of touch with reality, and not in the interesting and entertaining way.
