    I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

    Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

    Watched Both series in one setting and got to say one of the best British comedy shows ever made. it is one of my favourite shows now I love the way they do the homages but do it in their own way and keep it original. it has one of the best endings to a show ever. the story lines are good and creative keeps you watching. the characters are really likable and the lines they say are really funny The cast play their roles well If you are a bit of a nerd like myself you will like Tim cause he is you're typical nerd Grumpy Immature but has a good heart he likes chilling out loves Star Wars and of course he works in a comic shop! he plays the grumpiness and immatureness in a way that he does not nip you're head. Daisy Is also a good character like Tim is immature does not like responsibility and is trying to be a writer but she always tries to avoid writing anything she is funny fun cute and a wee bit crazy and she comes up some cracking lines in the show one of the best female characters in a show ever if you ask me. Tim And Daisy are the main two characters but the Supporting cast are just as funny. Mike is probably my favourite in the show his obsession with guns and the army just crack me up if you loved Simon Pegg And Nick Frost in Hot Fuzz Shaun Of the Dead and other films you will love them in this. Brian Also humours me with his insane art work quirkiness and craziness some of the best lines in the show are said by him. I also liked Marsha Found her quite funny. I didn't mind Twist but she is not in the show as much as the others and does not add as much as the rest but still plays a part in it. And Colin is just adorable I love dogs and was delighted with the way he was treated it felt like he was part of the cast. I am disappointed it is only two series I Don't think a third series would of hurt but still all 14 episodes are little gems. if you were born in the 70's or 80's you will love this if you were not born in the 70's or 80's but love the decades and you like the 90's as well you will love this. if you love pop film Music Gaming And TV culture you will love this if you like Simon Pegg Jessica Stevenson Nick Frost and Edgar Wright then you should like this but most of all if you love comedy and just sitting back chilling out and is a bit of a Tim Or a Daisy then WATCH IT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED For comedy fans everywhere if you do not get it then that is you're loss I am afraid. WATCH IT NOW

    When two twenty-somethings are both homeless, they have to pretend to be a couple to get a flat. After this, they have various adventures trying to fit in, trying to make life work, growing up, taking responsibility(it isn't preachy though), etc. They are Daisy(Stevenson), a nervous journalist with writer's block, and Tim(Pegg), an immature graphic artist working at a comics shop. Their landlady Marsha talks forever about her ingrate teenage daughter and her own life, the painter living downstairs Brian is... strange(that's putting it mildly), and finally there are their best friends, Twist(a self-involved fashion expert) and Mike(Frost, as a grown man who loves guns and *really* doesn't think about what he says to others), respectively. If you wondered what Edgar Wright(who seriously left his mark on this!), Simon and Nick were doing before Shaun of the Dead, this is it... and yes, it is every bit as unbelievably hilarious. Two seasons(and both open with a bang!) for a total of 14 episodes of about 24 minutes per each... but are they *all* amazing? ...yes. I didn't think they could possibly be, there must be a slip-up somewhere... nothing. Try not to watch more than one of these per day, or you may overdose, same for both pictures; I would fear having a heart attack as these leave me gasping for air and quoting them. I'm not saying that everyone will love this... if you've seen just a bit of it, or aforementioned movie, or Hot Fuzz, you'll have an idea of what you're in for. We have nearly constant jokes and gags, countless references to, and pastiches of, series and films(and you can tell that they clearly love the flicks and shows they parody... well, most of them), clever, silliness, verbal, black, and really nearly any kind of material. It's all enormously skilfully produced(*this* is how you do spoofs), and if you call this a sit-com, note that it isn't on a set... there are many locations and the camera doesn't linger unless it should. This is filmed beautifully and sharply edited. We do get to care about the characters(however quirky and odd they are), as well, and the main cast do all have genuine feelings. And it's so unapologetically epic! "Over the top" almost doesn't cover it. Honestly, with this, you can really tell that they wanted to make something great, that they were putting effort into making every frame *rock*. There is some strong language, violence, blood and disturbing content in this. The 3-Disc Collector's Edition comes with the 81 minute documentary Skip to the End(I will review it on its own page here on the site), commentary tracks for the around 7 hours of content(and you can tell from them that they loved doing this and working together), over 15 minutes of deleted scenes(with the option of hearing their thoughts over them), 14(series 1) and 13(...and 2) minutes of outtakes, 7 and a half minutes(first season) and 6 and a half minutes(...and second) of raw footage(think B-roll), more than 3 minutes of trailers for this, 3 and a half minute Spaced Jam(dance beat edited together of clips), one minute Daisy does Elvis, biographies and photo libraries. I recommend this wholeheartedly to any fan of British humor. 10/10

    I didn't see this show on its first run, although i remember friends telling me to watch it. i came later, tracing Simon Pegg's career.i dragged my feet thru the first season, and dint really fall into it til the second. but it is great fun, with so many sly nods and arched eyebrows, parodying so many things. i watch an episode, and laugh at the "in-joke" then look it up, and find there are half a dozen more in-jokes that i missed because i wasn't in on the pop-reference.lastly, this show draws me back, episode after episode because of Jessica Bynes. i kind of just fell in love with her, and had to keep watching.anyway, catch this show if you can, its a good laugh riot!

    Just sent back to Netflix the first disc of the "Spaced" series and can't wait for the next to come. I had never heard of this show until reading a review of the DVD in Entertainment Weekley I think and thought I would give it a view since I really liked both "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I had tried to watch "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galasx" and could not get through it so I was a bit worried about the production value when episode 1 started but bought into the show in just a few minutes . The writing is fantastic with lots of references to American movies and culture that Pegg and Stevenson (Hynes) deliver rapid fire. The supporting cast is great with Frost, Julia Deakin, Katy Carmickael and most of all Mike Heap as Brian. I had never seen most of them, again being and American here in the States but will be adding some of there other work to my Netflix Queue.Overall, well worth the time and effort to find as long as you remember they didn't spend a fortune on each episode. Script and cast make "Spaced" top notch.
