What really lifts Spaced out of the mix is the character of Daisy, played by co-creator Jessica Hynes (née Stevenson). Go to Full Review

Spaced is sunny and sweet, a show about people who are just starting to poke their heads out of self-constructed shells and see the blinding sunlight of the kids' party just upstairs. Go to Full Review
IGN Staff IGN Movies 10/29/2018
The pay-off is anything but however, the show taking the sitcom template and smashing it to smithereens, with everything from video games and comics to horror films and cartoons influencing the show's storylines and kinetic visual style. Go to Full Review
Chris Tilly IGN Movies 10/24/2018
It only ran for two seasons but the influence of Spaced is still being felt today throughout the TV and film industry. Go to Full Review
Andrew Lewis Screen Rant 09/11/2018
With its cartoonish style, trademarked Wright hyperkinetic direction, and incredibly sarcastic, nerdy, laugh-out loud writing, the series' following may not be the biggest or most mainstream, but it remains an all-time favorite among its loyal fans. Go to Full Review
Erik McClanahan The Playlist 08/28/2018
They are presented as real, complex, flesh and blood humans, making all the genre-bending wackiness easier to accept and enjoy. Go to Full Review

L H @Occultjam Feb 6 Spaced is one of my favorite shows ever. I first came across it back when Netflix still had a DVD subscription service. All of the characters are endearing, the dialogue and scenarios the characters find themselves in are hilarious and all the while a budding love story threads its way through the series. I was genuinely sad when I finished this series. It felt like losing a friend group. If you are a fan of British comedy, this one is a must. See more john h Jun 1 One of the best TV shows from the UK. Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes create a series of surreal and laughable events that occur in an apartment complex. The cinematography is beautiful and bright, the comedy is like a persistent jab, and the cultural references are fun to spot.
