A great web series!

WARNING SPOILER ALERT

The Psycho Series consisted of 50 episodes and 684 blogs, telling the story of Jesse Ridgway whose father disapproves of his choices to be a YouTube personality and gamer, and goes to extreme lengths, such as breaking his gaming equipment and abusing him mentally.

The pros of this web series is its story and recurring arcs that make it feel like an actual TV show, with its great camera quality ( the first 4 videos had rather mediocre quality but were still great)and also the characters of Psycho Dad (Jeffery Ridgway SR), JT Ridgway, Melissa Stalbergher, Larry Abraham and Theresa Ridgway.

The Cons were the main character himself, Jesse shows many obnoxious traits such as whining and pouting over the littlest things, stripping to his underwear when he gets upset, and overall just shows a superior complex that sometimes makes you root for Psycho Dad to break his stuff. also a couple of episodes such as 'Psycho Kid Submerges Motorcycle' where Jesse throws a temper tantrum and bullies his friends into dumping JT's Motorcycle into a lake over JT painting his car pink. Also 'Psycho Brothers Filming Freakout' where JT smashes Jesse's Camcorder in front of all his friends, it drags on and is overall just out of place in the series due to its cheesiness.

so what we have here is an entertaining series that despite its flaws, is still great and the two prater finale, Psycho Kid Kills Father' and 'Psycho Kid Flees Country' the latter of which takes a cinematic approach instead of the FPS ,is great and tell you what, I might re watch them after typing this review

Every Person on YouTube Should watch this series
anthvac26 May 2017
I found out this was a thing in July 2015 when I had came back to Psycho Dad Destroys Xbox from previously watching that one episode before. Ever since then I had caught up with his "Survival Series" after I was curious to see if his channel was active or not and it was. The Survival Series is a series inside the Psycho Series. Every Day I would be waiting for that all caps notification or Psycho (insert episode name here) to pop up on my phone from the YouTube app. The intense suspension in episodes such as "TAILED BY PSYCHO DAD" and "PSYCHO DAD FIGHTS AUNT MELISSA" was amazing. I had also thought this series was real until I saw some of the exposed videos but it still entertained me, and no matter what I would still go on YouTube everyday to see the next episode. I also am not into much TV or movie series. I wish Jesse would have kept doing the Psycho Series but he had to stop at some point.

As Good as Web Series Get
cowspy14 June 2017
the psycho series was a very controversial series while it was running because Jesse Ridgeway the creator and leading actor portrayed the series as being real when it was just a series however this was one of the series greatest strengths because while it was running a lot of people thought it was real which got them invested and every one who worked on the series was clearly invested as they had to hide when fans came to the house or act in character in public not to mention the acting was of Hollywood quality and that is very impressive for a family with no background in acting the best example is the video "Don't Give Up" but the reason i do not give this series a 10/10 is because Jesse can be really annoying some times mainly in the "Odd Jobs" part of the series but this was a great series that anyone should watch

Brilliant!

If you were watching the "Psycho Series" as it was being made & published, then you know and/or felt the hype of waiting on the next episode! The realism was very questionable as series creator, writer, AND protagonist Jesse Ridgeway never stated the series was fake as he was in-character for the duration of the whole series. The conflict Jesse faced between trying to make a living as a Twitch streamer and Youtube content creator & trying to deal with his old-school and psychotic father was, at the least, thrilling! Fans watched as his father, remorsefully, destroyed Jesse's video games and Jesse's psychotic reaction. It's most definitely a must-watch for all Youtube users.

This series was just so amazing...

Starting from the first episode, I thought this was real, and I watched every day since 2015, even though it started in 2012, and watching Psycho Dad destroying his stuff, his drowning his Xbox, shredding his video games, or even destroying his car. And then I stopped for awhile until April 2016, when he just posted "Psycho Dad Demolishes Gaming Room". I Then fell in love with this series, and then it came, on June 6th, 2016... Psycho Kid Kills Father came out, and I clicked the video in 5 minutes (not very impressive, but for me back in June it was) and I was just so excited for the last psycho video to come out (I had figured out it was fake by then) and then 10 seconds after Psycho Kid Flees Country came out, and I cried watching it, it was just so awesome!!!
