1South is the fictional setting of the Youtube series 1South Productions. It is located in Buckley Residence Hall at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut. The name "1South" refers to the fact that it is on the first floor of the South tower of the residence hall. The series is based on the actual experiences of the freshman residents during the 2010 school year.

All information found within this page is the creative and intellectual property of the show's creators Anthony and Kevin.

Controversy
The events have been described as "controversial" for the frank representation of underage drinking and lewd behavior. Says executive producer Aaron Hedge when questioned about this, "Look, this is how it happened. I'm not going to sugar coat it. And if you got beef, I'm a vegetarian."

Critic Reception
Critics have often brought down the show saying that it is not a reality show but more of a satirical-reality. They have been quoted saying such things as, "This show is blatantly scripted. Nobody in there right mind would believe in a real character as crazy as Kirsten."

Location
I am not sure where to include this, but I think it is worth mentioning: The way I imagine the first two seasons is that they take place in Matt/Victor's room and Victor is always playing video games in the background while crazy things are taking place. Occasionally he turns around, looks at the people, looks at the camera, continues playing games. Also at some point he has to not be there, and either people go crazy: "why isnt he here? he is always here?" or they dont notice... not sure what is funnier.

Plot
The series follows the events of the residents as they experience their first year at college. Despite its reality television style of filming, it is a situational comedy. The story began on August 28, 2009, but the episodes don't start until January 2010, further contributing to the reality style of storytelling. The series also possesses post-modern qualities in that the characters are self-aware that they are in a Youtube video and frequently refer to earlier non-filmed events as "the first season" and new events as "plot twists."

"The First Season"
