This series won the 2007 Emmy for Outstanding Broadband Drama. Though well-scripted compared to most webisodes, it's a very dense story much like a low-budget MATRIX, making it difficult for viewers to get into when they must wait several weeks for a new installment.
The story begins in a futuristic society much like our own, with the exception that everybody takes a pill to make them stronger and smarter. Our hero, Angela, soon discovers that the pill is actually mind-altering and allows for mind control. She was once a part of this future society against the pill and those who use it for mind control, called The Satacracy.
The hook is that, at the end of each 5-minute episode, the VIEWER gets to choose what Angela's next move will be. It's a visual Choose Your Own Adventure story.
Now in its second season, Satacracy 88 is already very deep in the story. The only thing I worry about it, without the knowledge of where to go after each episode until the viewers vote, how can the writers really know how everything will wrap up in the end? Maybe that is what makes this show compelling to its subscribers.
