i can’t even. The Web Series. is an Australian web series From twin sisters Hayley and Alyce Adams. i can’t even. follows two self-proclaimed pop
culture nerds, Em and Lex, living vicariously through their favorite cult fandoms. We covered season 1 back in 2015 and are excited to tell you that season 2 was just recently released on YouTube!
i can’t even. Season 2 offers up more ridiculous situations for the two best friends to get into. An attempted zombie decapitation, a solemn vow to speak only in Dothraki, trying to eat like the Gilmore Girls, and the staking of Edward Cullen plus many, many more.
Reprising their roles from the first season, Louise Cox’s “Em” and Tiana Hogben’s “Lex” are two best friends who could not be more different in temperament but are united in their shared love of pop culture. They are not in the least bit shy about expressing their fangirl quirks and characteristics which even the most casual enthusiasts can relate to; whether it be arguing over which house you would be sorted into at Hogwarts or taking desperate measures to speed up the long hiatus between the next new season or book.
Below are the episodes from season 2 of i can’t even. and their synopsis to get an idea of what is in store in this second season:

Writer and Creator – Alyce Adams
“Alyce loves being lazy and really gravitated towards a career that allowed her to tell people she was working when in fact she was still in her pyjamas in bed, so she got a Master of Screenwriting from VCA. Primarily focused on writing and watching female driven comedy, Alyce is inspired by films such as Bridesmaids and TV shows like Buffy The Vampire Slayer.”
