Casters is a web series produced by Erin Gould and Minimum Wage Entertainment in 2011. The show takes place in a world where some people have supernatural abilities that allow them to cast spells, known as casters. The story follows the lives of a group of casters, who are tracking down a dangerous enemy threatening their existence.

The show's main character is Liz, a powerful caster who is trying to find her place in the world after a traumatic event. She forms a group with other casters, including Clive, a charming and charismatic caster; Aileen, a stoic and intelligent member of the team; and Simon, a skilled crafter who can create magical objects. Together, these casters become a powerful force, able to take down even the most dangerous of enemies.

One of the most interesting aspects of Casters is the way it deals with the concept of magic. Magic is not just something that is used to solve problems or defeat enemies. Instead, it is a complex and nuanced force that can have both positive and negative effects. Casters who use their powers too much can suffer from a condition known as caster's fatigue, which can have serious consequences. The show also explores the idea of the "craft," which is a caster's ability to create magical objects and constructs.

The show is notable for its well-crafted characters and strong dialogue. Each character has their own unique voice and personality, which makes the interactions between them feel authentic. The dialogue is sharp and witty, with plenty of humor to balance out the darker aspects of the story.

Another strength of Casters is its world-building. The show takes place in a fully-realized and intricate universe, with its own history and mythology. The show explores the origins of magic and the different schools of thought around its use. The world is richly detailed, with plenty of information to be discovered about its inner workings.

The show also deals with some heavy themes, including trauma, loss, and addiction. Liz's backstory involves a traumatic event that has left her struggling to come to terms with what happened. Her journey to find healing and move forward is a central theme of the show. The show also explores addiction, with some of the characters struggling with caster's fatigue and the temptation to use their powers too much.

Despite its heavy themes, Casters is an entertaining show that will keep viewers engaged with its compelling characters and fast-paced action. The show features some impressive action sequences, with the casters using their powers in creative and surprising ways. The magic in the show is visually stunning, with plenty of impressive special effects to bring it to life.

In summary, Casters is a well-crafted web series that explores complex themes while also being entertaining and engaging. Its strong characters and intricate world-building make it a must-watch for fans of supernatural fiction. The show's exploration of magic is fascinating, and its attention to detail is impressive. Overall, Casters is an excellent addition to the genre and a great example of what can be achieved in web series storytelling.

Casters is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (10 episodes). The series first aired on March 30, 2011.
