Spaced
Been meaning to write a quickie blurb on this show for the longest time and never seem to get to it. It’s definitely full of oddball charm and slightly stoned adorableness starring two out of work flat mates who can’t quite decide if they’re really too much alike or just meant to be together for life. Those who have seen Shaun of the Dead will recognize the trademark twitchy camera and kinetic close-ups but might be surprised by the show’s sci-fi focus and self-deprecating depth. It’s a fun romp and ought to be subscribed to as part of the geek repertoire.
Wacky side characters kept me coming back to the show even when the female lead, Daisy, annoyed me to pieces. She eventually grew on me, but it’s characters like Brian, the indie artist, and the desperate land lady that really made the story fun. But watch out for the Phantom Menace jokes.
