Galavant is the best thing ever

OT: I have to tell you about the new Best Thing Ever. by Neshomeh on 2016-09-26 18:53:00 UTC Reply

It's called Galavant. It ran on ABC for two all-too-brief seasons, and now it's on Netflix. It's like if Monty Python and The Princess Bride had a baby, and it was an entire Renaissance Festival, and it can sing, and it has Timothy Omundson (King Richard) and he's the best, and Joshua Sasse (Galavant) looks like a young Richard-Harris-as-King-Arthur, and the women characters are badasses, and Weird Al Yankovic shows up, and everybody else is cool, too. *gasps*

Point is, Galavant. If you're not one of those weird people who doesn't like musicals, you'll love it. Go! Watch!

I Always Intended to Watch Galavant by sjosten on 2016-09-27 05:25:00 UTC Reply

It was running when I first went to college, so I didn't have the time, but if it's on Netflix, I guess I don't really have an excuse not to see it. Cool!

Okay, maybe not *ever*, but it's so, so good. The songs are catchy, the plot is good, it's funny, and it's just *fun*. It's even fun to rewatch! Give it a few episodes, and it'll catch you forever and have you humming the main song at random moments. :) Karen (Du Lay) got me hooked on it around when it was on season 2 or about to start season 2 (can't remember exactly). It's so much fun and I recommend it. (Watch out for a bit of strong language and a number of actor cameos--including Anthony Stewart Head of Buffy and More fame).

It's too bad he didn't come back for the larger appearance in season 2. {= (

Darkotas got me hooked on it back when it first started. It is so many levels of glorious. I'll heartily second this recommendation!

Man, I'm always late to the party. I hear they're thinking about continuing the show on Netflix or Hulu, though! They may not be able to get Sasse back since he's working on another series now, but still, I think they could make it work. Richard's my favorite character anyway. ^_^
