Leaves REVIEWS:

Goldby

Here we are at the final episode of Spaced. And it's a great way to go out. It has the pathos of the last episodes, the jokes of many episodes and a near sad ending which wraps up all the loose ends in the series and brings everyone back together again...almost in a nice bittersweet ending.

It would be interesting to see what writers Pegg and Hynes would have had in store if they did the long stated promise of a third series as apart from Tim and Daisy getting together the series was quite well wrapped up in the end. The centerpiece involved getting Marsha back to the group and Tim and Daisy apologizing for their deception.

Everyone's at odds, not as nastily as in Dissolution but still their is gripes, although Mikes the first one to put his issues on the back burner and help Tim to find out where Marsha has gone and stop her from selling the house. There's a nice nod to the very first episode complete with similar music and a shot of the flat as the real estate shows prospective tenants around.

Leaves isn't as confronting as Dissolution and the humor is back to it's goofiness and not as biting as before and there's sad feelings through the laughs. Daisy is upset she has lost Tim to another woman even though they were just friends and her dog also deserts her, which ends in her leaving. There seems to be no way to talk Marsha out of selling and even Sophie suddenly has to leave Tim for an overseas job offer.

It's just damn good writing by Pegg and Hynes to bring everything to this boiling point,then resolve everything back to the status quo in Meteor street in a couple of scenes. Mike ends up as the one with the brilliant ideas to get Marsha back and it involves the repeating the very crime that got him suspended from the TA and getting Daisy back and Sophie to the airport.

You can't get much more emotional than the ending with barely a couple of words spoken between the stars and a montage of visuals. Even Brian achieves artistic accomplishment with his portrait of Twist that would seem to be his plan for winning her back and Colin returns home.

How quickly things change and how well they've ended, dare you not to tear up or at least think of tearing up by the end...it's just gold. Well done Spaced, no wonder you're such a classic series.

9/10

Favourite bits:

Tim's imagined snog with Marsha.

The opening credits sequence shot for shot matching the hottest show at that time The Royale Family.

The sad but happy ending. Noice.
