Morris is a Satirical LEGEND! October 4, 2008 M. Western (Wakefield, West yorkshire, Enagland, Eurpoe, Earth, Some random 'milky way') This really is one of the best british comedy series i have ever seen. Brass Eye is amazing, whilst dealing with issues that, to this day, are effecting society and us personally qiet seriously, it is also funny as hell at the same time! Chris Morris here brings us a fusion of somewhat of a sketch show/documentary/black comedy/satire series that blends all of the stated perfectly. Although the series is beginning to become a little dated it still maintains relevance to todays problems in society, in which ironically some of the jokes put on issues have almost came true! The issues are dealt with and explored in their own episode, each episode named after its issue (sex, drugs, crime, etc) Throughout the series many celebrities have been casted throughout the episodes as extras or by having small parts. For certain people you can also note the character (played by Morris) Ted Maul has now influenced the title of a band. Id recommend this to anyone who enjoys comedys of any sort and to anyone who is interested in satire or comedys that deal with political issues or those to do with society, this will be your new holy grail. I really cant stress enough how brilliant this series is, the only possible downfall is maybe the bonus episode might have gone a LITTLE far with the comedy values, pushing aside the previous serious background that surrounded the previous episodes.
A classic September 3, 2008 B. Key (UK) This is an absolute must buy - all the more so since almost everything it sends up has, sadly, become reality on too many TV channels. Years ahead of its time, and still as fresh.
