Next month will see the Myspace TV debut of “Quarterlife,” a Web series that follows the fictional adventures of twenty-something creatives searching for love, gainful employment and the meaning of life. What is unusual about Quarterlife is that its creators are two Hollywood veterans, Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, known for both television — “Thirtysomething,” “My So-Called Life” —and feature films like “The Last Samurai” and “Blood Diamond.” They are, moreover, investing the biggest budget yet for an Internet production. Quarterlife thus promises both high production values and likely far more critical attention than any Web series to date.
