| Hulu exclusive, so if you don't pay...WAPS! |
Since I've become recently single again, and feel no joy from my ever-so-precious video games, I have caught up on the countless TV shows I watched in my previous single lifetime. And by catching up I mean I've run out of things to watch. Movies aside, I've ventured further into the British telly world. I admit my experience with British television is novice at best with Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sherlock, the IT crowd, Monty Python, Merlin, being human and probably some I'm forgetting (QI is next) all on the list. I stumbled upon this little Hulu Exclusive called Spy yesterday after a sad Once Upon a Time binge, the self-promoted commercials finally started getting to me and I decided what the hay? I need something new and funny and good in my life to waste time on since watching TV is the only tolerable thing in my life at the moment. (Although I'd like to note my job is the only thing that I have good going for me right now)
Years: 2011 - ??? (facebook source says if there is a third season it will be released in October)
Seasons: 2 so far
Tagline: I couldn't find it easily so I got lazy.
Their synopses: "Tim is in a custody battle with his ex-wife, when he quits his job. He applies for a job as a civil servant doing data entry, but discovers during the job interview that he has been offered a job as a trainee spy for MI5." -it's always IMdb
I wasn't too sure at first but I did like the loathing son of the main character, Tim, antagonizing his father for recent failure of his marriage. But I knew I loved it when Tim went to his interview for a new job; it was like the exams you took when you were in high school and Tim had the most perfect sprawl, action figures, many, many pens and pencils, he even had a DS (and I'm pretty sure it had a Zelda decal)! I'm now on the second episode and completely hooker with the quirky silliness that is Tim's new life of excitement and battle to keep his son. It reminds me faintly of Chuck but with the added twist of the snarky, young son.

Why yes my gun is quiet large...
Quote so far: "Now gentlemen, if you will excuse me, Hannah Montana is on." REVAMP: Episode 5: "I will take you down, I will take you down to chinatown." -Justine (I SAY THIS)
Overall review: Witty, funny, ridiculously great and I'm only beginning on season 1. It gets a whole jar of "gold stars" (you'll understand if you get past episode 1)
A certain "WATCH"
Still no reasonable rating system so just trust me and watch it if you like witty, funny British TV shows.
PS From the commercials that came up during this show I also wanted to investigate something called "Rev."
