Great U.K. series (two seasons) by Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright, made before SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ. I love "SPACED" even more than both of the movies (which are great), maybe because of co-creator Jessica Hynes' added female point of view? Whatever the magic ingredient it is, it makes for very relateable and endearing characters. That same sense of humor evident in the movies is very much on display here, but because this is a series you get many more hours to know these characters. And you'll enjoy every minute. Pegg's Tim Bisley is a Sci-Fi lovin' pushing-thirty nerd, but there isn't an ounce of parody, he's a real person. Jessica's Daisy Steiner too is a terrific character devoid of the typical sitcom shortcuts. Around these two is a stellar supporting cast inclduing Nick Frost's military-obsessed Mike, Mark Heap's struggling artist Brian, Katy Carmichael's oblivious Twist and the marvelous Julia Deakin as the alcoholic landlady Marsha. Each episode is a gem, and it adds up to a group of people you don't want to stop knowing. The documentary included in the three-disc set, "Skip to the End", is very comprehensive as both a behind-the-scenes and a history of the show (as well as providing a nice little CODA as to what may have happened to Tim & Daisy!). It's astounding that as well as SHAUN and HOT FUZZ did in the States that "SPACED" is not yet available in America. Seek it out. Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
