The Guild (Seasons 1–6)

The Guild (2007) is a US comedy web series you can watch online on iFILM, created by and starring Felicia Day as Cyd Sherman — a woman whose social life has almost entirely migrated into an unnamed online role-playing game. When her guildmates decide to meet in person for the first time, the gap between their in-game personas and real selves turns out to be very wide.

Each short episode opens with Cyd's video diary, which gives the show its quick, confessional rhythm. Her guildmates — the erratic Zaboo, the rule-obsessed Codex, the hyper-serious Bladezz, the awkward Tinkerballa, and the teenage Vork — all carry real-world chaos into a hobby that was supposed to be an escape.

Released in 2007, The Guild was a pioneering web series that built a devoted following in the gaming community long before streaming became mainstream. It is a sharp, recognizable portrait of people whose closest friendships are mediated by a screen. Stream The Guild online on iFILM.
