hyped garbage

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Blistering performances.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I was vaguely aware that Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright collaborated on TV before "Shaun of the Dead" but I only really got wind of Spaced when the show appeared on Amazon recently. Written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson (who also star as Tim and Daisy) and directed by Edgar Wright "Spaced" is just brilliant and I can only recommend watching it.
Tim and Daisy, two 20-somethings pretend to be a couple in order to get a cheap flat in London. Together with their quirky friends - the constantly drunk landlady Martha, the tortured artist Brian, the weapon obsessed Mike and the fashionable Twist - they get in a number of hilarious situations. This premise is not particularly special but the show gives is a special spin.
One of the aspects that makes "Spaced" so great is that is isn't a relationship comedy. While it keeps hinting at Tim and Daisy having feelings for each other the focus is on the hijinks they get into. Also, unlike other - especially American - sitcoms "Spaced" is not moralistic: Tim and Daisy are flawed characters and fortunately there is no attempt to improve them or make them into better human beings.
But it is Edgar Wright's special brand of directing that makes "Spaced" truly remarkable. If you have enjoyed watching other works of Wright you defintely have to watch "Spaced"!

I used to watch spaced while living with an annoying friend who did not like it.I said "its a classic ,it will be well thought of for decades to come."He disagreed one of the reasons was how "NOW" it was . "This will be embarrassing to watch in a few years,"he said.I hate it when other people are right. When you take out the dated pop culture references to the matrix,buffy, resident evil and star wars your not actually left with much.Simon pegg's "acting" in particular is embarrassingly bad. What hasn't aged and still impresses me is the camera direction and the snazzy editing .This must be why Edgar wright went on to better things. This show still shines bright in my memories if not in actual reality any more

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

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!
