Review of Recovery of an MMO Junkie

Hey all, it's the underachieving shut-in's wish fulfillment fantasy realized! If there is such a thing as a polar opposite of a power fantasy, it would be this show in how its mere existence demonstrates there is a demographic of people who want to see helpless protagonists win at life because of their uselessness. (The show not-so-subtly suggests that if you choose to quit your job and do nothing with your life except sit around in a virtual fantasy, then all your dreams will come true and you'll even meet the man or woman of your dreams!) Cynicism aside, I loved this show. Most of thestory's best moments center around secret identities and the fear of being discovered. At this point everyone has a hobby they're not particularly keen on advertising to the world, so it's easy to identify with the main characters. Romance junkies will probably get a huge kick out of this show but will be disappointed in how short it is. The upside to that however is that the pacing is good and there's no filler.
