Sanders Sides (2016– )
10/10
Laughs and inner thinking multiplied by 5
13 September 2017
Thomas Sanders has built slowly but surely a career in web comedy thanks to nearly 4 years of quality content on now defunct Vine. It was there where most of the characters that populate this web series were born and took their first comic steps, but it is here where they have gained a real depth of their own. The concept of "Sanders Sides" may remind you a little bit to "Inside-Out", and Sanders has indeed recognized this movie as an inspiration, but he has also added his own flavor and has made it original and valuable for itself.

The great achievement of this series is that it is genuinely funny as a comedy series, but it also makes the viewers think about themselves and makes them question their life and inner thoughts and really pushes them at times out of their comfort zone and makes them realize the complexity of their own human personality, and even though sometimes it is hard to face some of these inner shadows that we all have inside ourselves, in the end Thomas makes us see that there's always a way to change for the better, and he does so making us laugh and smile at the same time, something that is quite hard to achieve.

Thomas' acting, even though it's been nice from the start, is improving as the series advances. There are moments where, even though he plays all the characters, you tend to forget that they're all the same and only person thanks to a clever editing and how, even though they're supposed to be chunks of Thomas' soul, he has managed to give a full soul of its own to each one of them. A really recommendable web series, very different to everything I've ever seen on YouTube.
