Get your L.A.R.P. on!

I have a lot of respect for people with this much drive and passion for their stories. Cast & crew appear to be having a great time making & telling a fun story.

You could call JQ, full-on nerdy goodness. It doesn't take itself too serious (thankfully!), tells a simple story, expo its characters economically and honestly entertains. It packs a lot of fun into a ~7min. episode.

The series is genuinely engaging and has some clever moments. At times it tries a little too hard at humor, oft degenerating into game table jokes. But, even that seems to work because that's familiar territory for most of its viewers.

JQ plays a narrow genre with ownership. It seems very comfortable in its own skin and that is a quality you cannot help but to like. It is solid Indie series entertainment which makes it way better than any of the re-hashed, re-booted, re-make, over-priced crap coming out of Hollywood these days!

The dings... in this day & age, the SFX could be better. Camera seems little awkward at times, but every once in a while offers a spot on composition.

Bottom line: JourneyQuest is home-grown, honest, fun.

Onward!!
