As the cold winter nights set in and the rainy weather makes outdoor exploration uninviting, I've been on the lookout for some strange and quirky shows. During one of these explorations I happened across The Kirlian Frequency. I decided to give it a go and wasn't disappointed as it reminded me of another show I like, the podcast Welcome to Nightvale. Similar to that podcast, the central protagonist is a radio host who talks about the strange goings on in the local town, in this case Kirlian, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Kirlian pre-dates Nightvale according to some sources so it really does seem to be a case of simultaneous invention.
Over the course of five episodes, of about 10 minutes in length, we encounter the weird and wonderful inhabitants of this land.
The animation is very Flash and reminds me of another show Broken Saints, which featured gorgeous art. This shows art is rough and ready but is effective in setting the mood, having the prerequisite level of spookiness and janky charm. At under an hour, it's a short series and well worth your time and it is a curio from web-series times past. The show is available here on YouTube on the official channel or on Netflix.
