Rave reviews from NewTeeVee

The series "Invisible Friend" starring Ryan O'Quinn is featured as editor's choice on the site's home page and called "too good to overlook" with "hilarious dialog and flawless production value".

Every once in a while, someone comes up with a premise for a web series that is so simple yet so demented that you can’t believe no one ever thought of it before — or that someone actually did. Such a premise is at the heart of Invisible Friend. Seemingly nice guy Gabe (Jeff Cannata of Revision 3’s awesome geekfest The Totally Rad Show) wakes up after a night of drunken post-party sex with longtime friend Allison. Only Allison is dead, and despite remembering nothing of how she got that way, Gabe’s pretty sure he killed her. He calls his buddy Dan (Attack of the Show YouTube Person of the Moment Ryan O’Quinn), who — though horrified — agrees to help hide the body. Things go awry, of course, and madcap hijinks ensue.
