WHAT? The Vault

WHY SHOULD I WATCH?

The Vault is a post-apocalyptic science fiction series about a group of survivors living in a military bunker beneath the Earth’s surface. The underground base, The Vault, is the only place they have to call home. If the survivors dare to venture outside, they’ll be greeted with nothing but darkness, radiation and a constant winter. However, somehow a man by the name of Hale (Tyler Blake Smith) managed to survive above ground. When he’s brought back to the bunker, questions arise that no one knows the answers to.

It’s not very often you see a web series of this genre executed this wonderfully and I was surprised at the high quality of the show. It’s beautifully shot with aesthetically pleasing visuals, has great dramatic pacing and each episode ends in a way that makes you want to come back for more. The production value is outstanding and looks more like a network series than a web show.

The episodes themselves are riddled with tension and the series really finds its footing and takes off in the fourth episode “Amnesia.” Rumors of this new survivor start getting around the base and Amanda (Britt MacLennan), who previously was very diligent, starts to question the leadership of General Pierce (Kristen MacCulloch). It’s the first time you really get to see multiple characters outside of their military personas and you hear more about Hale’s story, bringing an already thought-provoking series up a notch.

The ninth episode of The Vault’s first season just went up this week, with Hale and Pierce butting heads even more so than usual. You never know who’s worth trusting, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats as the story unfolds. Fans of everything post-apocalyptic will find a lot to enjoy in this series, as will fans of science fiction and military dramas. This is definitely one web series to check out and one I’ll be keeping a close eye on myself.

WHERE CAN I WATCH? Episodes can be found on YouTube.
