Editorial Reviews

The jPod universe chronicles the amoral, lighthearted and often shocking lives of five 'Podsters.' Set in an isolated work area inside the global headquarters of video gaming giant, Neotronic Arts, Ethan Jarlewski (David W. Kopp; Stargate-SG-1, Psych) and four co-worker pals are bureaucratically marooned in the basement all because of the Y2K virus and the simple fact that their surnames begin with the letter 'J.' The Podsters' lives are far from normal and they routinely deal with dim-witted bosses, sexual debauchery, gang warefare and gore-laced game designs. jPod also follows the lives of Ethan's seemingly ultranormal parents, Jim and Carol Jarlewski (Alan Thicke; Growing Pains and Sherry Miller; Queer as Folk). Jim and Carol are the new post-middle class, now enmeshed in growing marijuana, biker gangs and ballroom dancing. Full of amusing and evil twists, jPod is a startling and ground-breaking series about life in this new century. There is no map into the unknown, but we do have these five kids with a lot of heart and plenty of dark humor to lead the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best TV Show You've Never Seen, August 20, 2010

This review is from: jPod Season 1 (DVD)

J Pod is extremely well written and well acted (especially Emilie Ullerup and Sherry Miller). The characters are well drawn, unique three dimensional people. The dialouge is witty and sparkling. The show manages to be funny and serious, absurb and dramatic all at the same time. Everyone should see this show. It is far superior to anything on the air now.

Great mental series, if you have any interest in games and randomness then this is a must funnily random comedy series. It's a shame not many people have seen this series im not one to order from USA to the UK but i just had to with this dvd. I have read the book and watched the series back to front to be honest i prefer the dvd. Such a shame the series was cut short. What to expect and great range of characters, unusual plot lines and lots of intertextuality

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious show but possible problem with DVD, December 9, 2008

This review is from: jPod Season 1 (DVD)

I'm a huge fan of Douglas Coupland and loved jPod (the book) so I pre-ordered this as soon as it came out on Amazon.ca (Canadian website). After patiently waiting for a few weeks, I received my copy to find that Episode 8 on disk 2 was only a partial episode and would cut back to the menu after the first "commercial break". I've read other reports on the same issue on the internet.

I ended up returning my copy and I'll try again someday.

Aside from that disappointment, the DVD is awesome and if you're a fan of Douglas Coupland (especially jPod and Microserfs) you'll LOVE this DVD.
