Persona: Bite-sized drama on your smart phone every day!

Have you been watching Persona?

Persona is a mini drama that you can watch directly on your mobile phones; three minute "appisodes" are released each day and you can either watch them via the iPhone app or through the internet browser on your smart phone or Android. I was intrigued - would it work? Would it be any good?

£1.50 for a whole year's subscription didn't seem too bad an investment in what appeared to be such a fresh and innovative way of bringing drama to, well, the palms of our hands! Being able to watch a drama whenever and wherever I wanted to (such as during a lunch break at work) was very appealing.

After a few technical hitches which were soon sorted out by the friendly App-Media team, I was ready to enjoy the series. I'd missed the first few episodes but soon caught up. So what do I think? Having watched a whole season, I can safely say the App-Media team have done a fantastic job. The quality of the images and sounds are excellent and I'm really enjoying the stories. At first I found the quantity of different characters and storylines a little too much to get used to, but this may be in part due to me having missed the first few episodes in which we'd have been introduced to the characters. However, as time has gone on, I've enjoyed the alternating nature in which storylines are presented and have been pleasantly surprised to discover that characters from separate storylines are now starting to cross paths. I will most definitely be watching the second series, which has now started!
