Danger 5 is a comedy series from Australia (created by Alrugo Entertainment who also made the movie Italian Spiderman) which attempts to be similar in style to movies like Airplane and Top Secret sprinkled with humor from movies like Team America. It is dry and self- satirical in the form of humor. The show revolves around the World War II era with Nazi's, Hitler, English and American spies working with the French Underground. There is a deliberate attempt to make things look terrible in the show and the writing is also cheesy in the same sense. Such as the talking German shepherds robot dogs, which I found the funniest part of the first episode.There are other classic scenes peppered through out the series and Susanna Dekker is a drop dead, breath taking woman but her beautiful pair of sensuous, perky eyes are not enough to make the series worthwhile. The direction and script attempt too strenuously to be terrible.What this show is lacking is social and political humor. Such as Team America which has no political correctness. Monty Python which has no limits on finding absurdities in politics and society.Danger 5 is bi-polar and doesn't know if it is a comedy or a drama. It tries to be both and it doesn't allow the actors to reach the climax of their abilities. The writing isn't the problem, it is the directing.Yes, I get the silliness but every scene is the exact same feel. You can't do the same over and over again through the series. After a while it becomes monotone. Danger 5 has only one gear and ends up being a slow and boring. 2/10 stars.

Shows this lame and campy are not easy to make. It takes a lot of time and thought to make it this way. Especially when made with cheese on purpose like Danger 5 clearly is. The amount of effort that goes into making this show is astounding. And is risky because it could totally backfire after so much is invested in it.On Netflix it has a low rating because people who watch it don't get the satire that it is trying to portray. They likely think its old and lame. But really, it began in 2011 and if anyone thinks its not made like this on purpose, they're crazier then some of the set designs and characters. Speaking of characters, Nazi Dinosaurs? The mere concept is hilarious and ridiculous at the same time! Fortunately on IMDb people seem to get it.Danger 5 is cheesy. Its campy. Its lame. Its terribly bad on purpose. Its original. Its SO SO GOOD!

My best friend and i found this on Netflix... we did not expect what was about to happen. From the first episode on we were laughing out loud to the point of tears. I do not remember ever having seen anything this amazing in my life. I've shown it to several friends since then, and re-watched the first season multiple times and it keeps getting better every. single. time. Very similar in tone to Monty Python and the Mighty Boosh. I admit, season 2 is not nearly as hilarious as the first, bit it is still amazing and ball-shatteringly funny. Also Ilsa is literally the hottest thing, ever. 10/10: would watch on a desert island for the rest of my life.

Comedy shows can take a while to find their feet but DANGER 5, an international group hell bent on taking down those damn Nazis and their nefarious plans, hits the ground running, shooting and punching.It has the look and feel of a 60's show even to go as far as having cheap looking sets and 'bad' special effects. The hard stereotyped cast play it (mostly) straight which allows the show to be camp, but not overly so.The laughs are hard & frequent and the action is fast paced, you never know what's coming next.If you like girls, guns, espionage, Hitler's dog and the perfect recipe for a Fruit Madrid, then this is the show for you.I've only seen the first two episodes but if the writers manage to keep this level of pace and comedy throughout the season, it's going to be a show that everyone will be talking about.
