Spaced DVD – Complete Series – July 22nd…
I don’t want to be that guy that says “I liked this show before you,” but I liked this show like five years ago. A few of my friends are from England, and they imported this over here for us to watch. We literally watched an episode or three whenever we hung out. Over and over, it was ritual.
This show, I say this with the utmost sincerity, is my favorite television show in all of creation. It’s masterfully crafted, hilarious, but also ‘real,’ it has it’s share of drama, and some of the messages it has are very valid. The show is ‘only’ two seasons long, but each individual season has it’s own amazing conclusion, as well as both seasons tie together wonderfully. The characters are amazing as well. I want to tell stories like this.
Turns out they are finally putting out on DVD July 22nd. American release, previously it was a different region or whatever, you could watch it if your player could handle it. One of my favorite things about the DVD release is that it has a special feature called the Homage-O-Meter, which is basically a set of subtitles that point out ANY references made in the show. Both pop culture, and to other episodes.
I could rant about it for hours, and I often do. If you’ve not seen it, do yourself a favor and get it and watch it.
