AFK

Q wakes up to find that she is her online character. She is stuck in game as an elf ranger. The NPCs and monsters are all gone, only other players who have also been stuck in game are around. Some characters, such as Brendon the Wizard, are particularly disadvantaged as magic no longer functions. Rather than a powerful wizard, he is just a portly human with a staff. Of course, there are characters who find themselves very different from their real world versions. Mabel is playing a male gnome and finds peeing awkward and embarrassing. Stephen now finds himself as a barely clothed woman who is regularly targeted for rape.

The show explores what might happen if random players from around the world suddenly became their characters. It was funny to see Stephen declare that she's an American while Vanya the Russian forced her to join his gang. The rule of law has no meaning in the game; this is the rule of might. The show is an interesting mix of comedy and drama. I particularly enjoyed when the character who was a zombie started dancing like she was in Thriller. And then some other player shot her through the head. Comedy and tragedy. Death in game is a real mystery. Is it a means of escaping the game or do you really die? This is not the first 'stuck in game' series but it does it well based on its budget.
