The comedy series is about two
slackers Tim and Daisy who must pretend to be a couple so that they can live in
the only flat they can afford in North London.
The sitcom was created (and
written by) Jessica Stevenson
and Simon Pegg, while Edgar
Wright directed every episode. It is the first great collaboration between
Wright, Pegg and Nick Frost.
They have also made Shaun of the
Dead, Hot Fuzz, and the
upcoming The World’s End
together.
In addition to Pegg, Stevenson,
and Frost, Julia
Deakin, Mark Heap,
and Katy Carmichael
star making up a fantastic comedic cast.
Spaced is only two seasons
(fourteen episodes) but is one of the highest rated a most loved comedy series
of all time. It seems to follow in the footsteps of The
Young Ones and Bottom,
and paved the way for shows like The
Mighty Boosh and The IT
Crowd. The show seems perfectly targeted at the generations that grew up in
the 1970s, 80s, and 90s with comics, Star Wars,
Star Trek, Indiana
Jones, and other great sci-fi and adventure films, grunge/rock music, and
an awareness of pop culture. It is a must-see for fans of Wright, Pegg, Frost,
and Stevenson.
