I love it, and even though I can only watch it through magical internet trickery (I’m not in the US), I’m totally gonna buy it when it comes out on DVD.

Okay, now that I’ve seen the later episodes, I can see some of the concerns about the emotional range. It’s not great but it’s good enough for me.

I really liked the writing and the acting. I didn’t mind lack of range so much as I didn’t think the character was meant to show any emotional range but I could be wrong. The cheesy background music and the excessive camera tricks were a minus tho, but the good far outweighs the bad.

Thanks for the response Chad. Ep 4 (which is freaking awesome, by the way) came right up and played no problem.

Hey all,

Want to start by saying thanks for recognizing the show, and I appreciate your thoughts and reviews. Please keep them coming, I know that this series is reaching far outside the “comic nerds” as MarkAndrew said, so any conversation is good conversation.

Regarding the site, some of you might have had a problem because you are outside the US; unfortunately our content is available only in the states. Episode One “got out” accidentally, and for any inconveniences, I seriously apologize. On video load times, we had a code error that limited our bandwidth, therefore causing long load times and patching streaming; it was a tech error on our side that we have since corrected.

And to s1rude’s comment, the DVD will be available in June, with tons of behind the scenes content, interviews, etc.

Thanks so much, and again, apologies for any viewing issues. Angel of Death runs every weekday till March 13th, so please let us know what you think, I would love to hear it!

Ep 2 has more interesting development after kick, stab, shoot of the first one. Not convinced about Bell’s range, either, but the supporting cast is pretty top notch and we haven’t seen Ted Raimi or Lucy Lawless yet. I really like the guy who plays Eve’s handler, Prescott, and Doug Jones junkie mob doctor was awesome.

I find the crackle site pretty horrible, however. Videos don’t load or even tell you why they don’t load (except to once or twice tell me that my flash player needs updated, which it doesn’t) and nothing in their support section about playback issues.

I heard there will be a DVD this summer though, if all else fails.

I can’t say i loved that first episode. The fight scenes were fun, but that was about it.

For some strange (apparently unlrelated) reason it made me more excited to see Whiteout later this year though. Go figure.

Interesting enough first episode….can’t get the second one to load yet.

Zoe was also featured in a 2004 documentary called Double Dare, which talks about two generations of female stuntmen, and talks quite a bit about how Zoe got the stunt part in Kill Bill.

Brubaker didn’t have much to write for the first ep.

“Sexy walk, kick, punch, shoot, kick, punch. Stabbing headache.”

I saw that. I wonder what audience they’re going for – I mean, what percent of the population knows who Ed Brubaker is? You’d hope that your web-TV thing reaches a bigger demographic than a couple hundred K comic nerds.

I had a horrible time getting the first episode to play as well, and the second, I had no luck on. Crackle is now saying that Angel of Death doesn’t exist. (Check the episode you linked to…)

Der?

Zoe Bell also stars in Tarantino’s Death Proof, performing an unbelievable stunt, and she threw herself off of Widmore’s freighter in Lost.
