Excerpt:

But you can find a more authentic take on D.C. life online. The web series "Anacostia," which also airs on cable channel DCTV, is entering its second season. The show’s ensemble cast won an Independent Soap Opera Award last year, and "Anacostia" has also been honored with Los Angeles Web Festival awards.


Sort of an east-of-the-river "Melrose Place," the series mixes themes of sex, murder and betrayal with tales of day-to-day life in the Southeast neighborhood.

"Anacostia" creator Anthony Anderson -- a D.C. native who is also one of the show's stars -- has called the series "escapism," but also says there’s more to it than that.
