The Secret Show (2006–2007)
10/10
What a cool show!

I first saw this show a few months ago after doing some channel surfing. I had no idea about this show so I decided to watch it. I have been a fan ever since. I "researched" the show for more details as to what it is about. I'm a fan of James Bond, Get Smart, The Avengers and similar shows. They have parodied these shows so well. There is no "overuse" of the parody. I guess I would say that The Secret Show is influenced by those shows. You can see bits of Get Smart or James Bond for example in the show but it is not blatant.

The abundance of one liners are hard to forget which is a good thing. The dynamic between Anita and Victor especially when Victor says "Who needs a magic cape when I have my bestest buddy with me" is evidence of that. I love the fact that there is a mix of genres in this show. You have action, comedy, drama and horror. An episode from the second series regarding zombies reminded me of those B-grade horror films but done in a very light-hearted manner.

I love how there are things to look out for in each episode such as the bunnies, the spider and the four digit code. There's that interaction.

Because it is aimed at eight to twelve year olds there have been episodes that deal with "kid issues" such as bogies (boogers). However, the episodes have a bit of adult humour.

Being a Monty Python fan and having seen "The Life of Brian" I thought the way that the grandma alien in the episode titled "Ball of Spong" spoke was very much like Brian's mother saying "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy."
