Son Of Somerset Files is a transmedia web series about Chloe Henderson, a young Mississippi woman whose life is drastically changed after she receives mysterious files bequeathed to her by her estranged grandfather, Chuck Henderson.

These files document her grandfather's life work - researching the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

Research that lead Chuck to be deemed a lunatic and ostracized by his family.

Desiring to know more about him, Chloe goes on a personal crusade to investigate her grandfather's legacy, but she may get far more than she bargained for.

Was Chuck Henderson a kook, or did he uncover something very real and dangerous?

Son Of Somerset Files is the creation of writer/director Elizabeth Hagale, who was inspired to pen the project by her love of the iconic sci-fi series The X-Files.

Unlike other UFO-themed web series such as Milgram And The Fastwalkers, which follows a more traditional dramatic narrative, this series bucks convention by integrating social media into the core of its premise.

The story is told across several social media platforms: YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.

The lead character Chloe (portrayed by actress Rhiana Howell), documents her investigation by posting video blog entries, or "vlogs," to her YouTube channel.

She also posts the contents of Chuck's files to the show's other social media accounts. The audience is asked to examine the contents and interact with Chloe by submitting comments, theories, advice, tips.

This social media integration is highly effective in lending a sense of realism to the show's fictional narrative by encouraging behaviors most of us already engage in daily on the internet.

Shot on a micro-budget, Son Of Somerset Files wisely eschews attempting ambitious visual effects - and failing - to focus on the linchpin of its mystery: Chuck's files.

Viewers are invited to closely examine the contents of the files, which include encoded notes, photos of UFOs, letters, and video footage of strange phenomenon.

The other series highlight is Ms. Howell, who gives a commendable performance as Chloe, a typical young woman who is coping with common struggles - a dead-end job, getting along with family, and a deep longing to discover more about the grandfather she never knew.

Ms. Howell's performance, the slice-of-life style scripting, the transmedia elements, and the compelling central mystery makesSon Of Somerset Files an engaging watch.

Gifted Corporation is an ambitious, international, transmedia web series reminiscent of the TV series Heroes.

The brainchild of director Rose of Dolls and writer-director Oliver Mend, the series (filmed primarily in English and set in America) follows the exploits of Hugo Silva (Asier Moreno).

Hugo is a detective who is obsessed with uncovering mysteries and unraveling conspiracies.

While investigating the case of a serial killer, he joins forces with New York police detective Sean Thornton (Jaime Lopez). Together they discover an unbelievable conspiracy when they encounter individuals with very unique ... "gifts."

At the center of this mystery is the ominous Gifted Corporation, a powerful entity with a covert agenda.

The first season of Gifted Corporation is comprised of seven episodes, with each installment serving to introduce a main character integral to the overall plot.

For example, during the first season you are introduced to a cast of players including:

an elusive thief who is far more than they seem
a talented athlete whose skills draw unwanted attention
a kidnapped young girl who surprises her captors with an inhuman ferocity

There is also an ancillary project called The Z Files, which features video blogs that complement and expand the main narrative.

I found the series to be completely engrossing. The producers have created a fully fleshed-out world populated with intriguing characters.

The cinematography is also noteworthy. The series has a dark, gritty feel that lends itself well to the subject matter.

The excellent visual effects are another highlight.

However the soundtrack and musical score is somewhat problematic.

While the songs used throughout are terrific, they tend to overpower the dialogue on a few occasions.

Fortunately, the majority of the episodes have the option to turn on captions. Still, it would be nice if the audio could be remixed to correct the issues with sound levels.

Despite this one quibble, Gifted Corporation is a very entertaining watch.
