Season 1 of Danger 5 may be the most perfectly executed comedy show in TV history. The minds that came up with this concept are genius's. The outrageous black humour is just enough without being being too offensive. Ilsa speaks Russian but everyone can understand her. Hitler and the rest of his henchmen are portrayed as cartoon baddies. Danger 5's boss is an Eagle. When featured characters die they always give a drink recipe. I have watched each episode dozens of times, it never gets old. I wish I could say the same for season 2. The edge they had in Season 1 was rounded off to an absurd degree. It was almost like the Best Boy on the first season became the director but didn't understand what made the first season so good.

'Danger 5' is an attempt at an absurdist spoof of the myriad spy, war, and action movie tropes in our cultural consciousness. However in execution the show is a bizarre, self-indulgent and disjointed mess that never quite makes it to being clever or satirical and fails to make any more than superficial use of its source material. 'Danger 5' is the product of creator/writer/director/actors Dario Russo and David Ashby who we can only assume were given a Netflix series after some executive saw how much ad revenue their racist, sexist, one-joke self-published web series 'Italian Spiderman' (2008) made. As the show's auteurs, they probably saw films like 'Inglorious Basterds' or 'Team America: World Police' and, without understanding their satirical construction, thought it would be funny combine the two. The result, much like 'Italian Spiderman', is a painful, tediously amateurish production featuring actors attempting to create humor by overacting and mugging for the camera.'Danger 5' is a show that is in no way original or distinct except in its terribleness and is an unworthy entrant into the wonderful worlds of absurdist and Australian humor. It is the single worst thing I have seen in the last 10 years and represents the only time I have ever yelled at my TV.I would not recommend 'Danger 5'

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.
