Spaced

Spaced is a British comedy series about two twenty-something friends who pretend to be a couple in order to secure an apartment. It's the masterpiece that brought us the likes of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost along with the director, Edgar Wright. The show is quirky, packed full with pop culture references and British Humor, and it feels very indie with its visual gags and terrific editing—almost like a live-action comic.

The chemistry between Tim (Simon Pegg) and Daisy (Jessica Stevenson) is outstanding and timeless. Each episode has a crazy and imaginative plot but the series never loses its footing or becomes overwhelming. It's unforgettable moments include battling robots, defensive martial arts known as 'gun-fu', and a slow motion shootout.

However, the series ended after just two seasons making it feel unfinished. Yet, it doesn’t leave you unsatisfied. Those who enjoy quick-witted humor, pop culture references, and the familiar DIY Indie vibe will fall in love with Spaced. Pegg, Frost, and Wright have all gone on to bigger and better things but Spaced is where they found their voice, and it's essential viewing for fans of their work.
