Spoils Before Dying

streetflash [Edit] [Delete] 07:09, 10 July '15

Has anybody seen this?

Utterly bizarre 20 minute tv show parodying old school detective cinema (someone more clued up on genre distinctions can sort this one out) with Will Ferrell, Omar from the wire, and Emily Rajtowkowski (sic?), among others. No idea what I just watched (only done the first episode) but enjoyed it immensely. Really silly, and there were a couple of moments where i felt they could have had more restraint, but seems really smart and has a really cool aesthetic (Wes Anderson minus the twee, maybe?) It reminds me of Bored to Death which I loved. Very knowing and stylish. Not sold on Will Ferrell but otherwise thought it was great.

Give it a go if you've not seen it. If you have, thoughts?
