In this article, you&#8217;ll discover some of YouTube&#8217;s top shows. So what are the best YouTube original series?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Demi_Lovato_Dancing_with_the_Devil\"><\/span>Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The singer opens up about the nearly-fatal overdose she experienced in 2018 and her personal journey over the last three years. &#8220;Dancing with the Devil&#8221; will mark the first time Demi has shared the story of her life on a public stage. Read on to find out more about Demi Lovato&#8217;s personal journey and how it&#8217;s affected her career. Ahead, read Demi&#8217;s emotional Dancing with the Devil interview.<\/p>\n<p>Demi Lovato is a pop star who has battled addiction for many years. Dancing with the Devil chronicles her battle and her near-fatal overdose in 2018. She opens up about the effects of alcohol, drugs, and self-harm. While her addiction to alcohol and drugs has been a long-standing issue, her story has sparked the conversation surrounding mental health and addiction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cobra_Kai\"><\/span>Cobra Kai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When the Cobra Kai YouTube original series first launched in 2018, it seemed like a one-trick pony. Coming from the same team behind such hit series as &#8220;Hot Tub Time Machine&#8221; and &#8220;Harold &amp; Kumar,&#8221; the pitch seemed a little one-dimensional, with the show resembling a parody of the 1980s martial arts film franchise. Still, the series is a surprisingly popular YouTube original, with the pilot surpassing 20 million views in just a week.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube original series stars Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, and Caleee Pinkett as two of the Karate Kid movies&#8217; main characters. It picks up decades after the original films. It&#8217;s no wonder that the series has become one of the most-Googled TV shows of 2018. The premiere episode of the show, which was released free of the YouTube paywall, has already racked up over 55 million views, and it&#8217;s only the first episode.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weird_City\"><\/span>Weird City<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Weird City is a YouTube original series that features a cast of big-name actors. Although the production value is not as high as many other comedy shows, &#8220;Weird City&#8221; is filled with memorable performances from the likes of Steven Yeun, Laverne Cox, Mark Hamill, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Rosario Dawson. The show is a fun watch, and fans will probably be rewarded with several seasons.<\/p>\n<p>The Weird City YouTube original series premiered on February 13, 2019, with a cast of dozens of actors. The first episode of the show has been viewed more than 16 million times. The cast of &#8220;Weird City&#8221; includes Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, Ed O&#8217;Neill, Awkwafina, Steven Yeun, Dylan O&#8217;Neill, and Gillian Jacobs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Life_in_a_Day_2020\"><\/span>Life in a Day 2020<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard of the popular TV series Life in a Day 2020, but what is it? In this reality show, people are caught up in different activities on the same day. You&#8217;ll see everything from working to socializing. Watch these videos and get a glimpse of what everyday life is like for different people. This is a fascinating concept, and one that you shouldn&#8217;t miss. There are many reasons to watch Life in a Day 2020, including the fact that it&#8217;s free to view.<\/p>\n<p>The film&#8217;s trailer features some of the most infamous events of the year, such as Healthcare workers suited up to fight the Zika virus and Black Lives Matter protesters demonstrating for civil rights. It also shows the closest thing to normal life in the year 2020. The trailer will be released on YouTube beginning Feb. 6 and will screen at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. There are no restrictions on the number of times you can view it, but the first screening is free.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Origin\"><\/span>Origin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The origin of YouTube&#8217;s new original series is starting with an intriguing premise. After a few months in suspended animation, passengers on a colony ship return to find their ship has not reached its destination. They must find a way to get it back on course while dealing with their past lives on Earth. Although the premise may be intriguing, the show ultimately lacks originality and inspiration. The show is also mediocre, with clunky dialogue and questionable acting.<\/p>\n<p>While Origin is a YouTube original series, it does not live up to its promise of being a great show. While it does feature plenty of cliches and a familiar plotline, the series still offers enough intrigue to hold viewers&#8217; attention. Its unique setting reinforces the unforgiving nature of the ship, a theme that was evident from the first episode. However, there are some shortcomings to the show, including a lackluster finale.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"305\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QY1Otmj0f6c\" width=\"546\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are the Best YouTube Original Series?
