Los Angeles hipsters, wannabes, and struggling actors get viciously skewered in the new web series The Great L.A. Pretenders, a low-budget web series about the perils of L.A. fakery that has just concluded its six-episode first season. We’re introduced to "The Pretenders" by main character, sometimes narrator, Sherman (Dan Shirey), who describes himself as "the badass—a sharp, edgy, angry, sarcastic American—tired of lies," plus he’s a Muslim convert and raging alcoholic. Sherman, along with his French immigrant friend Felix (Garikayi Mutambirwa), has been hired by Mr. Adams (Gary Edward) to go under cover and infiltrate a group of yuppie wannabe actors. The reason or nature of the undercover operation is never made clear, although it’s noted that both Sherman and Felix will be paid well for their work on the project.
