A few months ago, I ever-so-giddily wrote about the entire first season of the
British comedy Green Wing being available on Hulu to American viewers. It only seemed right to spread the good word, as it happens to be one of my favorite shows (it's like
Scrubs if it were a little less annoying and more demented).
Well, shame on me for being late with more news, because it wasn't until reader Erik pointed it out that I saw that the entire series of
Green Wing is now on Hulu. Having both seasons and the finale special means that you get the laughs
and closure. Isn't that nice?

You guys, you guys (Americans, specifically)!
Green Wing is on Hulu! Exclamation mark!
All right, let me back up. I am a British comedy nerd. Some of you more eagle-eyed readers may already know that one of my favorite shows is something called
Green Wing, which aired on Channel 4 way back in 2004. It's one of those programs that perfectly blends the quickness and quotability of sketch comedy with the engaging story arcs of more traditional sitcoms. There is no laugh track (thank goodness) but a beautifully quirky score that heightens the comedy instead of fighting with it. Plus, it's just plain snazzy.

(S03E01) I have been looking forward to this Special for a very long time and, I'm sorry to say, I was a little bit disappointed. Although many questions were answered, I didn't think there was enough substance to justify an hour and a half of television. The whole thing could have wrapped up very neatly in about thirty minutes, I think.

(S02E08) This season has been an absolute roller coaster ride. As if the first season's crazy relationships and antics didn't confuse us enough, this time around, everything stepped into the next realm of bizarre. There's love triangles (love quadrilaterals?), murder, babies, threesomes, pimps, affairs, proposals, and Guy being considerate. The first episode was relatively weak, but the rest of the season has had a lot of strong points. The plot thickened considerably without sacrificing any of the laughs.

As a huge fan of the first season, I was eagerly anticipating the premiere of the
new season of
Green Wing. Last season ended with a literal cliffhanger: three doctors in an ambulance dangling
from the edge of a cliff. I was expecting the premiere to pick up where it left off, explaining exactly how Mac, Guy,
and Martin were saved (or how they all died, became fatally injured, sprouted wings and flew away, etc.), so I was
surprised when they offered absolutely no insight into what actually happened. Instead, we were immediately faced with
a fully normal scene of all the main characters going back to work at the hospital. But then, suddenly, the entire
scene changed into a futuristic setting and everyone had donned new, silver costumes. What's going on?!
