Title: Danger 5 - Best B-grade TV Show I've seen in years. Post by: dean on January 15, 2015, 08:07:11 PM Danger 5 is an amazing show.
Now on Hulu for those who access it. Season 2 is out now in Australia if you watch on SBSOnline http://www.hulu.com/danger-5 (http://www.hulu.com/danger-5) WATCH IT!!! Season 1 had a cheap b-grade WWII aesthetic, kind of like a mix between Get Smart, Thunderbirds, Ultraman and more! [with a touch of Garth Marenghi's Dark Place surreal crazy.] Season 2 now has an 80s feel. Words cannot describe how much I love this show. Both involve so much crazy I can't describe it here properly. Season 1 Trailer: DANGER 5 TRAILER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z09bNgSeMI#ws) Season 2 Trailer: DANGER 5 SEASON 2 TRAILER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYXHzOqnMpk#ws) (http://i.imgur.com/mhFmwcD.gif) (http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m27x2iyLKI1rtwd1fo1_500.gif) (http://33.media.tumblr.com/afd511c798e62c1219711c2d84989374/tumblr_mo1v3yE0mx1qi9xdqo1_250.gif) (http://www.sbs.com.au/comedy/sites/default/files/styles/body_image/public/03suckastiffy-_0.gif?itok=6fbClftP&mtime=1419909140) (http://www.sbs.com.au/comedy/sites/default/files/styles/body_image/public/10musicalchiars.gif?itok=zf1oBjnW&mtime=1419554134) [That last one is a Nazi losing at musical chairs...] Title: Re: Danger 5 - Best B-grade TV Show I've seen in years.

Is an episode set at a high school where Hitler is posing as a student? I guess I have something else to add to my queue. Title: Re: Danger 5 - Best B-grade TV Show I've seen in years. Post by: Rev.

Yeah season 2 just came out here so it may be a bit longer to get to the U S of A. The second episode had him posing as a student in an 80s styled American high school and trying to become prom king.

Post by: Flangepart on January 17, 2015, 10:11:01 AM Wait...wait...you're telling me this is NOT from Japan? How it that possible?
Title: Re: Danger 5 - Best B-grade TV Show I've seen in years. Post by: dean on January 18, 2015, 02:27:59 AM Funny you say Japan. I forgot to mention that this is by the some of the same people responsible for "Italian Spiderman" which naturally is a rip off of Italian 60s/70s rip offs and similar, like the Japanese Spiderman.
Especially funny since it's an Australian production. Trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhHhXukovMU#t=23 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhHhXukovMU#t=23) Full version available on Vimeo in the link below [you can even download a copy to keep for free so that's nice]. I know I'm pushing this stuff alot, but man I really enjoy what these folks are releasing. Its just so super ridiculous. https://vimeo.com/42254051 (https://vimeo.com/42254051) Title: Re: Danger 5 - Best B-grade TV Show I've seen in years. Post by: Rev. Powell on January 18, 2015, 08:55:50 AM Did not realize it was by the "Italian Superman" guys. Just goes to show that viral videos CAN lead to bigger things!

Title: Re: Danger 5 - Best B-grade TV Show I've seen in years. Post by: Rev. Powell on January 19, 2015, 10:58:07 AM Watched the first two episodes and I was pleased. Episode 1 had Hitler creating a mega-Hitler out of monuments stolen from across the world. Episode 2 had a "Land of the Lost" feel to it with Mengele training dinosaurs to be used as weapons. Favorite character is Ilsa. I wonder if anyone has compiled all the drink recipes? It would make a nice companion booklet.

Now I can see the last three episodes. Hope they'll get season 2. Title: Re: Danger 5 - Best B-grade TV Show I've seen in years. Post by: Jitters on February 18, 2015, 04:24:38 PM In the past few days I've gobbled up this show via Netflix. LOVE this. I haven't seen season two yet, but kind of wish they stuck with the '60s vibe instead of going with an '80s theme, but maybe I'll like it when I see it.
Also, their website is cool and has the Youtube "prequel" -- http://www.sbs.com.au/danger5/videos.html (http://www.sbs.com.au/danger5/videos.html) Title: Re: Danger 5 - Best B-grade TV Show I've seen in years. Post by: diamondwaspvenom on July 04, 2015, 11:01:41 AM One of my friends recently showed me this series. It was so low grade and so unapologetic in its glorification of b-movies that I couldn't help but love it! Not only best B-Grade TV Show in years, but I think it's the best TV series in years considering every one these days is either a reality show or some gritty drama. We needed something fun and Danger 5 was our answer. :smile:
