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
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:
Season 2 Trailer:

Oh yeah! That's great! I'm pretty sure I read something about this. 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.

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.

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:
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

Did not realize it was by the "Italian Superman" guys. Just goes to show that viral videos CAN lead to bigger things!

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.

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

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.
