YouTube has given the power to every individual to be a content consumer and a content creator.
Two decades ago, no one would have ever thought that accessing video content would be this easier. But with the launch of YouTube in 2005, watching videos became a thing. With time the content that is available on YouTube has grown in quality as well as quantity. From random videos to videos that have been uploaded for some purpose, today YouTube is not the same as it was during its initial years.
From the abundance of videos that are available on YouTube, web series are one such category that everybody loves. Nowadays, many new and old YouTube channels are coming up with their own web series. Here is a list of 5 web series on YouTube that are worth watching:
1. Maid in Heaven

Channel: Shitty Ideas Trending
No. of Seasons: 4
Cast: Chhavi Mittal, Karan V Grover and Shubhangi Litoria
Link: Maids are very important in the urban lifestyle. With fast-paced and ever-evolving lives in the metro cities, house helps play a major role. They are the ones who take care of our everyday household chores. They do it for a living and that is the reason why we share an on and off relationship with them. You cannot live with them but you also can't live without them.
Shitty Ideas Trending (SIT) tried to show this relationship in the quirkiest way possible. Maid in Heaven is a story about Rishi-Rohini (Karan V Grover and Chhavi Mittal) and their maid - Baby (Shubhangi Litoria). How Baby meets Rishi and Rohini and how their story unfolds is a treat to watch. Sticking to its USP of delivering family-oriented web shows, SIT has presented the everyday encounters with maids in a fun and interesting way.
2. Sarkari Karyalay
In India, we all think twice before visiting a government office. The reason being, long waiting queues, time-taking and tiring procedures, and sometimes the intentional delay. But during certain situations, you cannot avoid it, even if you want to. The Sarkari Karyalay by Binge shows how government offices operate.
Season 1 shows what happens when Vaibhavi (Shreya Gupto) visits a Sarkari Karyalay to get her Adhaar card updated. What happened there and what followed after that makes this web series worth watching. On the other hand, Season 2 of The Sarkari Karyalay shows various contemporary issues like meme-making.
With this web series, Binge has tried to show the reality of the government offices funnily and interestingly. All the actors have played their characters well. Their performances look appealing. The success of the show depends on its writing as well. The Sarkari Karyalay is well written keeping the main element of humour in mind. This show keeps you glued to your screen until you finish watching it.
