The Middleman!

Am currently a few episodes into "The Middleman" and it's fun. People kept recommending it to me but what they didn't make clear is that while it is good, it's also very odd and you have to be in the right mood for it. It's got the setting of Men in Black (only with supernatural/horror stuff as well as aliens), the silliness of "Get Smart" and the vibe of "Due South" if Ray was a female painter.

Here's a trailer to give you some idea. Cam didn't like it, but I do. And they even made zombies funny and not scary! (I say this as someone who was scared by Shaun of the Dean)

There's a comic of it, too. Maybe you can kill two birds with one stone.

That comment was made of so much win, I think I'm in love.

It's quickly becoming just about my most favourite series ever :D

Ohhh, the guy who did Balthier's English voice in FFXII? He's the voice of Vladdie the Impaler in one of the later episodes.

Wow, I read this comment just before watching the episode, and it still sounded like a different guy to me. But that I guess is the sign of a good voice actor.
