Hey, You Wanna Watch a Web Series About Debt Collectors Getting Superpowers?

Then you’re in luck!

Online humor site Cracked.com debuted a new web series Monday called Antiheroes. The digital, live-action shorts depict a group of colleagues at a debt collection agency (“the only one that calls people at bedtime”) who get superpowers after a cosmic event.

The series is in the middle of rollout, with only the first two episodes available as of Wednesday.  Each episode is about six minutes long.

Although the first two episodes are set almost entirely in the collection agency offices, that fact generally takes a backseat to the comedy and superpower action. There are collection calls made, and of course, plenty of shots taken at the profession itself.

Still, it’s interesting to see entertainment set in a collection agency, no matter how inaccurate it may be.

Watch the first episode below; there are also links to the other episodes. Be warned: strong language is pervasive throughout and there is even a little blood and mild nudity:
