Spaced - Definitive Collectors' Edition [Region 2 Import - UK]

The complete first and second series of the multi award-winning situation comedy Spaced. SPACED revolves around two idle twentysomething flatmates - immature skateboarding would be comic artist Tim (Simon Pegg), and moody, responsibility-shy writer Daisy (Jessica Stevenson), and their self-induced lack of success in employment, relationships and life in general. Together with their oddball assortment of friends and neighbours: Marsha, Brian, Mike and Twist, they exist in a world perched precariously on the edge of mormality.

Spaced - Definitive Collectors' Edition [Region 2 Import - UK] Reviews

I hope it's true.CAN'T WAIT. Finally read something that it will be available this summer (2008) in the US.

Though there are only a total of fourteen episodes, those episodes are just so GOOD that they can be watched over and over. Even with shipping from the UK it will still be a lot cheaper - I got this for 14 pounds with shipping, which is less than $30. Go to amazon.co.uk and order from them directly. Got this show from Amazon.UK because of hearing rave reviews all the time - and because I loved both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I laughed so hard that I developed a laughter headache (TM), and had to stop watching for a bit. Highly recommended, but keep in mind that you will need a player that is both region-free AND can play PAL discs (Philips DVP642 can do both, and is cheap). Suffice to say, I was not disappointed. On a side note, don't bother ordering from Marketplace sellers.

but most importantly, the two leads are so darn likeable that you find yourself pulling for them almost instantly. tim and mike's scenes together are priceless, as is the entire paintball episode [#4, 'battles.']. of course you WILL need a region-free dvd player [i, tried unsucessfully, various internet media players like vlc, for example. but big kudos to simon pegg, jessica stevenson and edgar wright for finding the madness, insanity, and hilarity in the every day and the mundane. but at the same time, they cast and crew kind of captured lightning in a bottle.

i really had no idea what to expect, but i bought in anyway because a trusted friend couldn't stop talking about it. twist, the fashionista who works at a dry cleaners'; brian, the tortured artist who lives downstairs; marsh, the alcoholic landlady; and mike, the 'territorial army' reject and tim's best friend who once stole a tank and tried to invade paris. just so you know. fortunately, my fears were completely unfounded. it really is quite amazing that 'spaced' hasn't seen a proper u.s. release.

if you're a fan of so-called pop culture, 'spaced' is a dream. they came, they saw, they conquered. and just by way of warning: there is some occassional salty language to be heard. the premise is fairly simple, as has been adequately described in other reviews. the laughs come pretty fast and furious, thanks the sharp dialogue, rapid-fire exchanges, frenetic editing and zoonms and unique camera angles. simon pegg's 'tim' drops more references than you can shake a stick at.

like most everyone else who has it, i bought a region 2 copy from amazon.co.uk and had it in about two weeks [shipping is also VERY reasonable]. it's a shame that 'spaced' lasted a mere 14 episodes over two seasons. you get odes to baywatch, the a-team, close encounters of the 3rd kind, the x-files, various comic book heroes [the flash, batman, etc], and, of course, plenty of homages to star wars including an hilarious dog rescue episode in which our heroes adopt the 'code names' han, leia, luke, chewie and jabba. the supporting cast is uniformly excellent, too. suffice to say that there's plenty of humor to be found in a relatively simple setup.

when i first heard about 'spaced,' i feared it would be like all those lame british comedies you usually see on PBS set in a department store of some kind, a really bad laugh track, stuffy humor, etc. i also tried to use mac the ripper to burn myself a region-free copy totally legal if you buy it, as it did but alas, that didn't work either]. you make your point and get out while the gettings good. simon pegg drips [his facial expressions alone are almost worth the price of admission alone] and jessica stevenson ooze charisma in large drops.

This is absolutely wonderful. If you like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, you will love this show.

I love the Pegg/Frost movies and thought I'd watch this to get my fix until Run Fat Boy Run comes out.I bought it in region 2 and watch it on my PC just because it's that funny. If you like their movies you'll love these shows same humor just alot more to watch. Out of the 14 episodes maybe two kind'a drug but the rest were great. Again, all I can say is if you liked the movies you'll love the show. I only wish they had at least a couple more seasons, they could have stretched it that far.
