Modern Victorian webseries

I've someone found myself following two webseries that adapt Victorians classics in the modern day.

Frankenstein, MD: Victoria Frankenstein's show that makes you much, much smarter takes a turn for the dramatic. ("Absolutely no one dies. Per-permanently. And when they die we bring them back right away with virtually no brain damage whatsoever.")

Carmilla: Laura's old roommate has disappeared. Her new roommate drinks blood with her Cocoa Puffs.

I'm really liking both of these so far. The supporting casts are particularly fun and I like the way the stories are modified. The way they play with the vlog format is also pretty great.

Btw, does anyone know if there's a way to follow a youtube playlist by RSS feed?

Il y a du f/f dans la websérie Carmilla ? Je n'ai jamais lu l'original, mais c'est ce que j'en avais entendu dire.

It's mostly subtext so far, but the series isn't very far along yet.

I'd seen neither of these before this post, and now I'm caught up on both. I really enjoy them! (You had me at Carmilla tbh, I love that novel).

I don't know much about web series, but I am definitely fascinated by the phenomenon and how how classical literature continues to thrive and adapt to modern times and mediums.

(Carmilla is awesome. AWESOME!)

I'm usually not a big fan of modern AUs, but apparently I'm more okay with them if I can watch them instead of read them.
