Danger 5, Season 1 (Dario Russo & David Ashby, 2012)


Did I post about the amazing web series Italian Spiderman on here a few years ago? Anyway, if you never saw it watch at least episode 1 right now and then come back.


So the guys who made Italian Spiderman have now also made a full length TV series for SBS called "Danger 5", and it most excellent. It's like a 60's pulp novel style vision of WWII, done with all the panache and fine attention to crappy detail you remember from Italian Spiderman. It is most excellent. There are Nazi Dinosaurs with crystals implanted in their heads to put them under Nazi mind control, that should be about all I need to tell you to make you watch this thing. I also love the way Hitler, though still evil of course, is played by this very soft, nice old man who always looks a bit dazed. He's a great Hitler.

It's out now on DVD and i-tunes and whatever, and apparently there's a season 2 on the way this year!
