The show was written by both Pegg and Hynes, which makes them perfectly fit their characters. And the humor of it is wonderful. It’s able to have the perfect mix of pop culture references and original witty dialogue. It goes into great fantasy sequences, and it’s amazingly hilarious. Edgar Wright’s directing is fantastic. It is obviously the same director from the aforementioned films. Unfortunately, there were only two seasons of the series, with a third one only most likely never happening, but never fear, because the series does get a dignified ending.

You can pick the series up here! Trust me, it is well worth it!

Spaced: The Complete Series

Double focuses on 2 characters specifically. Shotaro, and Phillip, who both run a detective agency in ecology based city Futo. In this city strange USB like devices called Gaia Memories give the users superpowers and turn them into monsters. Shotaro and Phillip are able to use Gaia Memories to become Kamen Rider Double. That’s right. Two people become one superhero. It’s a really cool plot device if you ask me.

The best parts about Double are the facts that Double has a much higher production value than any of the previous Rider series. The opening scene has more spectacle in it than the rest of the series did throughout their whole runs. The effects are leaps and bounds over the previous series. And like I said, this series actually feels like the original rider series where we get an idea of who the villain is right off the bat, instead of making us wonder throughout the whole season like the rest of the series have done.

My only nitpick so far is the character of Akiko. She comes off as whiney and annoying. But here’s hoping some character development fixes that.

So yeah, if you’re at all curious about the new Kamen Rider series, definitely give it a try.
