Search nor google could find a thread for Danger 5, so here;
Danger 5 is an over the top comedy show inspired by mid-century pulp serials and agent team shows like thunderbirds, mission impossible, A-team, etc.
The first season takes place over WW2, dealing with tropes of that era.
The second season started just this sunday, and takes place during the cold war, dealing with mostly '80s tropes.
The first season was one of my favorite comedy shows that year and a clear instant classic.
First episode of season 2 did not disappoint and turned the wtf-level up to eleven.
The '80s feel is clear and present.

You can also watch their Italian Spiderman.

Indeed
The bits where they talk in Italian don't make any sense whatsoever, they're like random stereotypes which makes the whole thing even funnier if you understand them xD
Yep new Pierre is shit. Previous one had more style.

Season 2 is over. It started very bad but managed to redeem itself in the second half. Nowhere near as fun as season 1, but the second half makes it worthwhile in retrospect. If some fan here gave up on it after the weak first episodes, consider giving it another shot.
I think that the action-soap-opera format that TV is going for these days really hurts this show. It worked better with self contained episodes à la season 1.
They went for full pop-culture references of 70's and 80's and the style of shitty camp movies but it lacked coherence. There were brilliant moments, like Jackson trying to make condom from cigarette foil but overall the over stylisation made it less enjoyable for me.
