par Vanessa Meheut , publié le 9.06.2011 Vanessa Méheut est analyste à Orange San Francisco. Elle s’intéresse particulièrement à l’évolution du paysage audiviosuel américain, à la distribution et au marketing de contenus vidéos multi-platformes et aux nouveaux formats publicitaires. C’est avec plaisir qu’elle nous fait partager son point de vue sur une série qu’elle qualifie comme « communautaire » : Bar Karma Will Wright n’est pas un créateur de série TV comme les autres.

About The Show // Current
There's a place at the edge of the universe, a venue that's behind time and before space, a watering hole where the tab you run up may never be paid - in this lifetime, at least. That place is Bar Karma. Notoriously lucky billionaire Doug Jones wins Bar Karma on a bet. He soon learns that ownership includes more than pouring the perfect cocktail - a lot more. Every happy hour one lost soul wanders through the bar's doors, finding themselves at a karmic crossroads in his or her life.Current TV: Official Site
