The web series is back - only this time, they're TikToks | TechCrunch
Briefly

Raegan Lynch chronicles her journey of starting anew in a foreign country following a breakup, captivating audiences with her engaging storytelling and cinematic video style. Growing her following significantly on TikTok and Instagram, Lynch's episodic approach contrasts with the previously favored off-the-cuff casual formats. Her videos not only document her experiences of navigating a new life but also reflect a shift in viewer preferences, moving towards more structured, ambitious short-form content over simpler, raw storytelling methods.
Day 25 of starting over my whole entire life... I'm wandering around the city I just moved to, in a country I'd never seen, all by myself after my relationship ended.
What made Lynch's story go viral has more to do with her crisp storytelling and attention to cinematography than her catastrophic breakup.
Short-form video viewers are starting to crave something different and more cinematic than these more casual clips, pushing TikTok into a more ambitious territory.
These episodic, web series-esque videos are bringing a new spin to short-form content, shifting from raw, casual storytelling to more polished narratives.
