9/10
Such a great show

I have watched this series a few times over the years and it still makes me laugh. The casting is so good and the storyline is fantastically unique and engaging. You want to believe these quirky, sometimes absurd oddballs actually exist as they would be a hoot to hang out with, heck even do a character study on them.

It's been a pleasure to watch Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright grow in their respective careers; together and individually. In retrospect, you knew they had a bright future but 20+ years later, it's awe inspiring to actually see it come to be.

They are masterful at weaving in references to other works whether it's verbal or visual. They so cleverly integrated in many movie references that are part of my lifelong list of favorites (and not so great Phantom Menace). They did it again in Paul, going to the extent of paying homage to these movies as the storyline.

In the Spaced universe, I have always hoped for a follow-up movie over the years but...... If you have never seen it, I highly recommend it.
