Thanks to
a-phoenixdragon who let me know that Matt Smith's Party Animals is available on Hulu and Hulu Plus. I've been wanting to watch more of his stuff and this was definitely on my list since he starred in the series - all 8 episodes of it.
I am not a fan of politics, so the first epi I had to kind of slog through, but have enjoyed epis 2 & 3. Matt is fine as Danny, but he isn't really given a ton to work with, so I've been enjoying his brother, Scott, and one of the opposition staffers, Ashika, the most.
Some thoughts on episodes 1-3 below for any who are interested. Maybe some minor spoilers, but mainly reactions.
Party Animals - 1x01
* I hate politics. And I really am not understanding these British politics. Hopefully it will get easier as things go on. Glad there's only 8 episodes. I am only here for Matt Smith.
* Oh god. I know where this is going.
* Yeah, they went there. Oof. This got serious in a hurry.
Party Animals - 1x02
* Why does Danny like Kirsty exactly? Not impressed with her at all. And don't particularly like her either.
* I do like Ashika. She's got spunk. Although it seems like she and her co-worker may be in the wrong party...
* Jo played that really well. I wasn't sure at first. Bravo.
* Scott, you're a bit of a moron, but you're moving in the right direction.
Party Animals - 1x03
* I love how Scott is allowed to remove his shirt and walk around in his boxers, but Danny is clothed from head to toe.
* Thawing very slightly to Kirsty, but still not sure what the big deal is with her. The speech bit was nice though.
* Scott - are you growing a conscience? I know it's unusual for you, but I like it.
* Danny's mom is a real piece of work. That's diabolical.
* Oh I see. But with the set up, I totally saw that coming.
* Like how this ended :)
Can't wait to watch more!
