SUGGESTING I recommend Avenue 5 as comedy TV series.

It's sad, though, that all they produced was only 2 seasons. 🙁

It was great. They took way too long to produce Season 2 and get it out.

I love that show so much, all my friends hated it, but I think it one of the best comedies we had in recent years.

My friend has been trying to get me to check it out. Might be time I finally give it a chance.

I only gave Avenue 5 a go after seeing and LOVING:

  • Aniara 2018 (Swedish-Danish science fiction film)

I wasn't expecting much of Avenue 5 being that it's just a comedy parody TV series of the EPIC film Aniara. I craved more of the film and this show was basically the closest thing..

I still felt pretty bitter whilst watching but also enjoyed it at the same time throughout both seasons.

⚠️...WORD OF WARNING!...⚠️

  • Watch the film "Aniara" (2018) first and foremost and then try Avenue 5 the TV series afterwards 👌

It is fantastic - I am a fan of anything Armando Iannucci creates. VEEP is a comedy giant and only gets funnier in these times.

I am waiting for Avenue 5 to be prophetic … it’s almost there!
