    Sadly Over-hyped

    Good concept, poorly executed.

    I stumbled across this British gem in day while flipping through Netflix looking for something to watch. I was hooked during the first scene & took the ride through all 6 episodes. That's right, you read correctly- ONLY 6 episodes! Each episode is under an hour but each is pure entertainment with a kick-ass soundtrack to boot. I've only watched a few episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer- I'm 42 and wasn't my thing however I guess I can say this show can be described as being Buffy the Vampire Slayer-esque the difference being that these 2 girls are demon hunters. It's really a fun show to pass time. It does leave you wanting more when the run is over.

    I recently discovered the British TV series Misfits, a wonderfully weird thing about kids with superpowers, and after I finished it I looked around for something else by its creator, Howard Overman.I wasn't impressed with the first episode of his next series, Atlantis, but now with Crazyhead he returns to the same mix of action, humor, and insanity as Misfits.Following the adventures of two girls able to recognize bodies possessed by demons, the series is not quite as original as Misfits. While that show was a superpowers show without superheroes, Crazyhead treads along the lines of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, except there's an extra heroine and fewer side kicks. But the show's very funny, particularly Susan Wokomo as Raquel, the characters are likable and the story is engaging.I don't know why Atlantis wasn't better (maybe it gets better later?) but I'm happy that Overman has hit another home run.

    More like TV's golden shower age. Same pap wrapped up in new shiny Brit cuteness. Otherwise obnoxious and kill worthy demon hunter (the originality is palpable) recruits dippy blonde who starts thinking that the CGI demons (so scary) she's seeing are real. It's the same old tedium that began with Buffy, continued with "Ash the Evil Dead Whatsit" and has continued on with shows like Dirk Gently (which actually predates all this stuff) wherein the jaded protagonists view the supernatural world with comic disdain and predictability, and it's a dirty job ridding the world of all these demonic meanies, but someone's gotta do it, right? Not really. The two dimensional world the people inhabit in Crazyhead begs the question..is it really worth it? It's so lame you might find yourself siding with the mediocre computer-faced demons, that is, if you can stand to sit through one episode of this boring tween pablum.

    Loved it from the first minute. It has a Misfits feeling, with dirty humor, idiotic situations and attitudes, a few clichés, yet the two main characters are lovable and sweet while being total bad-asses.I know, we all miss a good Nathan or Woody in our lives, but the delicious, quick-witted Raquel is the right kind of awkward to root for, awesomely completing the sensitive and sweet Amy in all things new and dangerous. The bad guy is a walking cliché, all-drama-evil-laughter-devious-plans-dude, but seeing how well the other characters are built, I can't help but think this is what was intended for him.The special FX are not spectacular, but they don't feel forced and still manage to get you in the right mood. Do try it for at least two episodes before you make up your mind about it, you'll probably have a charming, fresh, pleasant surprise!
