Spaced (1999)
Two twenty-somethings fake a relationship to find a flat, leading to brisk, absurdist, and witty adventures.
Spaced: the anti-Friends, in that it examines the lives of common 20 somethings, but in a way that is more down to earth and realistic. Here we have Daisy and Tim; two 'young' adults with big dreams just trying to get by in this crazy world. They are thrown together in a common pursuit of tenancy, which they find by posing as a couple. The house has a landlady and an oddball artist living there. The series explores the ins and outs of London living.
How intense is Spaced?
Spaced has no gore and some violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a comfort watch and a full-attention watch. The humor runs dry and absurdist. Rated TV-14.
