Have you ever watched a show that depicted your life story so accurately that you thought it was about you? No? Me either. But there is a web series on YouTube that comes very close, and it’s called “Giants.”
The hit series is executive produced by Jussie Smollett (“Empire”), and its two leads – actor James Bland and actress Vanessa Baden Kelly – were nominated for Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress in a Digital Daytime Drama Series.
Created by Bland, who plays Malachi, the show – which is on Issa Rae’s YouTube channel – is “a coming of adulthood drama series that follows the lives of three black millennials, each battling their own inner giants as they approach age thirty.”
Kelly, who has appeared in many of our favorite childhood shows on Nickelodeon, from “Keenan and Kel,” to “Gullah Gullah Island” and “My Brother and Me,” plays Journee and writes for the series.

On Instagram, both Bland and Kelly share their excitement about the news:
