Day 08 - A show everyone should watch
My show for today is The Middleman. It's just 12 episodes (because ABC Family cut it short) and it ran through the summer of 2008. I loved this little show with it's spunk and multitude of references to pop culture and lovely geeky-ness. x3 It was based on a comic book series by Javier Grillo-Marxuach . . . better known as Javi, one of the Lost producers responsible for giving Hurley his Spanish background and for Sun and Jin early on. He also worked as DJ Dan and one of the brains behind The Lost Experience. I have to say, if you like Dr. Horrible . . . I think you'll like The Middleman.
I will leave you all with the bare-bones description of the plot thanks to its Wiki page. =)
A struggling female artist is recruited by a secret agency to fight against evil forces.[3] The pilot episode features a super-intelligent ape who escapes captivity, murders several members of the Italian Mafia, spouts a half dozen catch phrases from American movies on the subject including Scarface, Goodfellas and The Godfather, before being revealed as the pawn of the true villain.
The Middleman is a freelance fixer of "exotic problems," which include mad scientists bent on taking over the world, hostile aliens and various supernatural threats. Because of Wendy Watson's coolness under pressure and photographic memory, Ida, a robot in the form of a grumpy schoolmarm, and the Middleman recruit her to become the next Middleman. The series includes various pop-culture references, including many comic books, such as when Wendy calls herself "Robin the Boy Hostage", a quote from The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, demonstrating how Robin was often kidnapped or held at gunpoint by Batman's enemies.
Wendy lives in an illegal sublet apartment with her young, photogenic, animal activist friend Lacey, across the hall from lyric-spouting Noser, and had a boyfriend in film school named Ben.
