Web Series Review: “Jeff’s Place” – It’s an Unusual Day in This Neighborhood

I recently checked out Jeff Galfer’s latest project, a web series entitled “Jeff’s Place,” and – full disclosure – intentionally went into this completely blind.  Without knowing what to expect, lacking a synopsis or even general idea of the genre, I jumped directly into watching Episode 1 “Mirror Face,” then proceeded to binge-watch the remainder of the series.

I was caught by surprise not only by the format, but the vacillation between thought-provoking mystery and a strange sense of humor that managed to take me off guard and genuinely make me “laugh out loud” more than once.  About 20 seconds into it, all I could think was “I feel like I’m watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood – but for adults.”  That sensation remained throughout the series, which contributed to the overall feeling of familiarity, but the uniqueness and mystery of the overall story served as a reminder that this was also very… different and unusual.

For those who’d prefer not going into it blind: each episode focuses on a specific topic, but each episode is connected with the same characters and overarching theme, following the same Mr. Rogers-esque style.  The series (by Angry King Productions) consists of 6 episodes, with a full run-time of about 30 minutes, and stars Jeff Galfer, Sky Soleil, Jacob Givens, and Andrew Fleischer.  As briefly mentioned, “Jeff’s Place” is a little different from the traditional method of storytelling, but somehow… it works.
