WATCH: "Seattle Freeze" on WRECKED

On the latest episode of WRECKED, Spencer (Bhama Roget) and the always inappropriate Thomas (Sean Patrick Mulroy) go to Mia's (Liz Ellis) 27th birthday party. Check it out below:

WATCH: New Episode of WRECKED ("Four Boobs")

Hit web comedy WRECKED kicked off its second season last week and another episode ("Four Boobs") was released today. After these two excellent episodes, I think it's safe to say that WRECKED has somehow managed to get even better in Season 2. The writing is smart and funny (Courtney Meaker, Gabriel A. Carbajal and Liz Ellis form the writing team) and the actors deliver each line in just the right way. If you haven't started watching this show yet, now is a great time to start. Bhama Roget is perfectly cast as Spencer, a role played in such a nuanced way you can't imagine another actress being able to pull it off (see Connie Britton as Tami Taylor in FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS).

Check out "Four Boobs" below:

WRECKED Is Back! Check Out The Season 2 Premiere!

One of our favorite web series ever, Honey Toad Studio's comedy WRECKED, kicked off its second season on Monday. Check out the Season 2 premiere episode, titled "Besties," below and let us know what you think.

WRECKED Season Two Coming May 13, Exclusive First Look Images Of The Premiere

WRECKED was nominated for six Indie Soap Awards this year, and won for Best Directing (Liz Ellis) and Best Supporting Actor (Robert Bergin). The show, from Honey Toad Studio, has described itself as "a raunchy, honest comedy that follows Spencer, a young writer trying to pick up the pieces of her life in the aftermath of the decision that tore it apart." In the first season, Spencer (ISA nominee Bhama Roget) tried to focus her energy on finding a job while her best friend, Thomas, tried to get her to focus on finding a new boyfriend. We are happy to report Season Two of WRECKED, funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign, is on the way and will premiere May 13.

The second season episodes will be released every Monday through June 17.

You will hear more about what's in store on WRECKED in the coming weeks, but for now, We Love Soaps scan give you an exclusive first look at the Season Two poster which contains images from the premiere episode.

If you haven't checked out WRECKED, we highly recommend it as one of the best web series around. Watch the Season One finale below:
