Eye Candy #362 - "Spaced - The Complete Series"

Spaced - The Complete Series:  Here is the series I’ve been waiting for: the sitcom for those of us who couldn’t actually relate to “Friends”, for those of us who were weird, had weird friends, strange landladies, and led just generally odd lives whether we intended to or not.  Tim (Simon Pegg from “Shaun of the Dead“ and “Hot Fuzz“), an aspiring comic book artist, and Daisy (Jessica Hynes), an aspiring writer, find themselves as flat mates out of necessity, pretending to be a married couple to get a cheap apartment.  And into the orbits of their lives are their strange neighbors and friends, including artist Brian and paramilitary nut Mike (“Shaun of the Dead’s” Nick Frost) , pop culture references galore covering everything from the A-Team to “The Sixth Sense“ to Star Wars and comic books, this is the show about my life…without all the awkward sexual tension between a female flat mate and myself as I live alone.  Unless one can have awkward sexual tension with oneself.  This show was extremely funny, and definitely worth a look.  It’s a shame this took so long to be released in the US.  Woodchuck sez, “Check it out.”
