Thread title needs to be changed, as due to ISIS and recent int'l events, the series has been delayed indefinitely from broadcast, per the Danger 5 Facebook: "Dear Fans of Danger 5, It is with our deepest disappointment and sadness that we announce a decision has been made to delay the broadcast of Danger 5 Series 2 on SBS. This is due to unforeseen international news events and the recent ISIS actions and it’s felt in the current climate the series might not be received in the comedic spirit in which it was created. Unfortunately this delay is completely out of our control and the entire team at Danger 5 and Dinosaur are truly devastated. At this stage we're unaware of when Series 2 will air, but as soon as we do, you will be the first to know. We hope that you will stick by us until this time as we do everything we can to show you what has taken the entire team thousands of hours of hard work, sweat and a few tears. So, in the interest of making the anticipation unbearable, we will share with you (TONIGHT at 7.30pm Thursday 11 September AEST) the Official Trailer for Danger 5 Series 2. We will be back to kill Hitler once and for all. Love, the D5 team" Also per their Facebook: Pierre is back; Aldo's on another show now but his casting commitments have allowed them to use him in different ways than they did in the first season.

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to attend the Cast and Crew Australian premiere screening last night here in Adelaide (where the show is filmed) We saw the first three episodes. They were shown at the world premiere in Texas a few days ago so reviews are already out there, but I figured the thread might like some of my impressions. I'm gonna keep this as spoiler-free as possible, but will include a bit of info on the premise of the second series so if you're really sensitive skip past. I was a giant fan of the first series of Danger 5. Other people have drawn comparisons between it and the British series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and it certainly filled the hole in my heart left by the short run of that show. The ambiguous time setting, low-budget look and anything goes writing set it apart as like nothing else currently on the air. So when the second series was announced I was excited, but also had a fair degree of trepidation. How do you keep things rolling in that strange 1960's tv universe without them getting old? How many times can can you get a laugh from a giant talking eagle giving the team orders and putting down Claire,, and how many cocktail recipes can you hear from a dying persons lips before you stop paying attention? It turns out the answer is 7, once for each episode of the first series. The second series could have kept to the established formula but instead the creators made the wise decision to let the first series stand by itself, and take this one in an entirely different direction. The routine is gone, and the first three episodes at least are both much more connected and at the same time more separated thematically than the first series was. If the first series was a tongue in cheek reflection on 1960's spy shows, the second series of Danger 5 is a love letter to 1980's cinema. It's Christmas, at some unspecified time during the 1980's. The war against Hitler and the Nazis is long won and the team are living their lives as civilians to various degrees of success. This being Danger 5, it's no spoiler to say that Hitler turns out to be still alive and out for revenge against the team that continuously foiled his plans. What follows is a surreal romp through cinema and television of the 1980's , with the occasional nod to more modern media. In what I saw there are episodes that feel like Miami Vice, 80's grit cop dramas, every high school teen flick of the 80's, and a one-liner reference to Jurassic Park that was perfectly done. The special effects are the one area where things feel occasionally off. Obvious model shots and strings are back, but there is a bit of a clash now purely because some of the effects are better than they have a right to be given the budget of the show. Some of the dinosaur effects genuinely impressed me, and there is an occasional inconsistency where a set feels real until a string appears. All part of the Danger 5 experience, and I'm happy they kept the cheap-looking effects, but they just don't work quite as well as the first time around since they take you out of the 1980's atmosphere. The show is filmed differently now. While the first series used the same sets repeatedly and made that part of the charm of the show, the second series feels like a greatly expanded universe. While I'm sure the nature of tv production (especially for an SBS show) means many of the same sets were actually re-used, it didn't stick out at all and the team was much more creative in hiding that. In keeping with the breakout from the confines of the first series, this is a much more graphic show. Blood abounds, and in true 80's fashion there are gratuitous topless shots a-plenty. It all feels right for the new setting, although one particularly unsavoury recurring habit Hitler has in establishing dominance over his subordinates had me squirming and will no doubt end up in some people having to turn the show off. Not only was shaking things up a smart move creatively, it also works for covering up the changes that have occurred between the seasons. The original actor for Pierre was unavailable to film the second series, so his role is now played by the charming Pacharo Mzembe. If the second series was merely more of the same the recasting would have felt strange, but instead of aping Aldo Mignone's performance Pacharo is allowed to make the role his own and runs with it, resulting in what is both in some ways a new character, and in other ways the member of the Danger 5 team who most resembles his 1960's persona. In the second series the team is also joined by Holly, a teenaged high school student (and target of Hitlers attention) played wonderfully by tv newcomer Elizabeth Hay. I won't give any spoilers about her role, except to say that the third episode contains events which suggests she will be an incredibly important character. She has a strong screen presence, and I won't be surprised if we see her gaining more tv roles in years to come. The elephant in the room is of course the shows delay by SBS, with them apparently getting cold feet based on actions by ISIS that resemble something that happens in the show. We were asked to not share the details, but if you've been paying at least half-attention to current events you can probably figure it out from the comments the Danger 5 team have publicly made on the subject. Hopefully SBS changes their mind soon, because the event in question is repeatedly referenced in episodes thereafter meaning it couldn't be easily edited out. The three episodes were over all too quickly, and when the light came on I was left wanting more, and also wishing I could rewatch what I had seen. This isn't the Danger 5 you've seen before, but it comes from the same place and I can't see any fan of the first series not loving the second.

Sounds awesome. I'm a bit worried about the production differences too; I recently rewatched the first season, and the main thing I think they nailed were the sets/props. It looks so authentically cheap, but not cheap enough to where you get the feeling anyone could have made all this stuff in their basement. This is obviously going for a different feel, but I'll check out whatever these guys do until the end of time. I hope we get a date soon, though.

I can't wait for season 2. The trailer has got me excited, and so did the recent reviews of the first three episodes (I may have read one too many spoilers, but the trailer didn't hold back on them either) I loved the first season right from the webisodes and it didn't disappoint, even though it was and still is too much to go through all episodes in one go. This sort of humor works better for me in small dosages. I found the DVD for the first season a bit disappointing. Very few extras, a very simple dvd case, with just the one dvd for episodes, webisodes and extras, no booklet or anything in the sleeve. Still happy that I got to support them, since I don't live anywhere near Australia or a country with access to hulu.

Got this in today's post:   Can't believe the only way to get it in the UK is to order it from Germany, though. But at least I'll be able to use the subtitles to find out what the German is for "And as always, KILL HITLER!"

They did a marathon last night of S1 which is now up on SBS so I would imagine they would do the same for S2. I didn't realise this the first time I watched it but they actually had Hitler in the 80's at the end of Season 1.
