One of the pitfalls of modern television programming is the complete ignorance of the internet at the hands of most providers. With a few networks excepted, some of the most popular shows on television are simply not available on the internet legally, or if they are, it's at significant restriction. HBO is particularly terrible at programming in a digital age, but even the Big Bang Theory is unavailable. It was only a matter of time, I suppose, before media companies noticed YouTube, Vimeo, and the World Wide Web as a distribution platform.
Warner Brothers has picked up a series, called h+, which focuses on a near future tech boom in a world that combines cyberpunk with a hint of post-apocalyptic fiction. It's available on YouTube, but I expect a more traditional distribution channel if it does well. A friend of mine sent me a link for this, and it's rather enjoyable so far. It's done in the manner of the rather stellar Mortal Kombat: Legacy, but without quite as much fighting. Here are the first few episodes:
This. This is what I've been looking for
