Beacon Hill the Series

Overview

Not to be confused with the 1975 TV show Beacon Hill, which was a bit of an American version of Upstairs, Downstairs, this web series is a soap opera for people who don’t like soap operas. They managed to put out one season, won some web awards, and then (as of 2017) the website stuck up a message about working on season two. Unlike Venice, which could get a little tawdry at times, this web soap was done by people who were used to web series (vs just soaps) and they understood how to handle the fast-paced version of the medium.

Sadly, season two never happened. You can buy the DVDs theoretically, but since the website selling them still celebrates being nominated for daytime Emmy’s from 2014, I can’t promise you’ll actually get anything.
