Just finished the show today and starting in on my second viewing now. David Cross is just brilliant! (But, ya know, like how us americans mean it.)

I binged the show over the past couple of days, so it was all still fresh, but there were a lot of times in season 3 that I was confused and felt like I was missing something, so doing the rewatch now is really piecing things together.

I love shows like this and Arrested Development that just get better and better the more you watch them :)

Season 3 Unavailable?

I watched the show years ago and loved it, but like a lot of my favorite IFC shows it's only available on Amazon to rent/buy, but the 3rd season isn't available at all. Does anyone know why? I'd really like to finish the series.

How come this show is so obscure?

I wholeheartedly think this is the best show I have watched in my life. I think of it so often I can't believe it is already over. I wish more people can see this show.

Season 2 DVD, Region 1 Amazon release

I just found out that a Season 2 DVD (US Region 1) was briefly available on Amazon via manufacture-on-demand. It is no longer available as of writing and I can't even find pictures of a copy on ebay or anywhere else. I'm guessing like a lot of these MOD releases, that this DVD must now be incredibly rare.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here happen to have it? Not looking to buy, unless someone wants to sell cheap lol. I just want to know, 1, if they exist out there somewhere, and 2, what kind of bonus features are on it and how is the quality of the DVD overall?

S3 - What is the curry scene about?

I’ve watched seasons 1-3 maybe ten times over but the curry scene in season 3 still doesn’t make any sense to me and I can’t work out what he’s trying to recreate or prevent.

What am I missing?

Closing song?

Does anybody know the name of the closing song for season 3?

It's great but I can't find it on YouTube or searching the lyrics on Google.

Todd Moon?

Is Todd Margaret in fact Keith Moon's son? I know it's a funny name because it sound Korean and he's going to NK but is part of the joke that he was conceived when Live at Leeds was recorded?

It was all a dream?

Just finished the series. What I got out of it was he woke up back in the first season? Everything that happened was a dream?

How did Alice die?

I saw season 2 finale and I’m so confused. How did she die? I don’t remember seeing her death scene.

Alright one of you fucktards help me make sense of this show.

So I’ve seen seasons 1&2 about 10 times now and I’ve watched season 3 twice and I just can’t work out how the link works.

Originally I thought it was a dream within a dream but I can’t see quite where one starts and the other begins.

Is season 3 a dream season 1 Todd is having inbetween “answer your telephone” and waking up for real? Or are season 1 & 2 a dream Todd 3 is having?

OR is it implying that their are potentially infinite timelines and in each one Todd is the catastrophic catalyst for the end of the world and we’re just seeing two very different versions of the timeline? The deja vu is merely an overarching “psychic link” between all Todd’s.

I was rewatching S1 last weekend and this keeps bugging me for some reason: Dave says Todd can probably tell exactly where he’s from, based on his accent. Can a Brit tell me where Dave’s accent is from?

"I have to do everything myself"

The way the show ended apparently hit me differently than others, or else I haven't seen this theory elsewhere. The way I took it, the reason the world didn't blow up was because he didn't really fulfill the prophecies himself, his actions caused them, but indirectly.

The way I took it was it was a "hint" or "command" as to how to truly fulfill the prophecy. He needed to do it all himself, not on accident, on purpose. What a crazy season that would be, huh?

Too bad there won't be a 4th, I was really excited that that was what was going to happen.

Todd is Keith Moon's Son

In the last episode of Season 2, it is revealed that Todd was actually born in Leeds in 1970 and that his last name is Moon.

Keith Moon was the drummer for The Who and they performed/recorded the famous Live at Leeds in 1970.

Thoughts on S1/S2 Alice?

I'm curious how the majority of viewers feel about the Alice character in S1/S2

I've often seen her death called the bleakest moment of the show, "too far," too horrific even for how dark and miserable of a show Todd Margaret was, the worst moment of season 2

I'd agree with all of that stuff, though I think the show killing her off was amazing for those reasons

Part of the anger seemed to stem from people interpreting Alice as one of the few "good guys" on the show. She seems kind, genuine, and normal. Not out to hurt anybody. At first

By season 2 though, I feel we see that she's just as selfish and dumb as everyone else in this world

She constantly involves herself with Todd because she wants to further her own ends, putting up with his insanity and instability because he keeps promising her the world

He delivers on most of his promises but she KNOWS he's a pathological liar yet continues to involve herself with him

Plus, their big "romantic" moment comes after she realizes he did something for her

I feel like she's just as crude and baseless as Todd and the other characters really. She basically was gonna repay him with sex for getting her that La Molecule gig

She only wanted anything to do with Todd when there was something in it for her, and then blames him when things go south even though she easily could've walked away

I agree that killing her was a shocking moment and she was ultimately one of the LESS awful characters but at the end of the day I don't really think she was this upstanding moral center of the show

She just had more kind moments to offset her selfishness

Favorite scene/joke?

One of the most brilliant things about Todd Margaret's comedy was its reliance on multi-layered humor, jokes with huge buildup and payoff later, and coincidence.

I know it's probably hard to pick a "favorite joke" in an 18 episode comedy, but I have to say I think the most brilliant punchline in the whole series is Todd calling Mehtap during the trial

He gives this heartwarming speech, and for a second you forget you're watching what is probably the least sentimental TV series ever made.

That joke just perfectly sums up how fucking clueless of a character S1/S2 Todd was and how his naivete carried the entire show.

Curious what other people think is Todd Margaret's most brilliant punchline

Todd Margaret is probably the most unique show I've ever seen

Everything from just the setup to the execution is so different from anything else I've ever watched

The initial setup of how Todd gets to London in season 1 is so clever and the way the first two seasons so steadfastly refuse any sense of warmth, sentiment, or light heartedness is so amazing

Todd Margaret is probably the best black comedy I've ever watched

Seasons 2 and 3 are a bit plot heavy but even that element of it is so original

And again, I've always just marveled at how the show took full advantage of being a DARK comedy. Killing the cat, killing Alice, giving Todd no real redemption in seasons 1 and 2... It's all so amazing

It transforms from a brilliant dark comedy to a brilliantly complex dark comedy with a genuinely compelling and dramatic plot

The fact that a show about a bumbling idiot lying his way through awkward situations transforms into a dark and thoughtful look at destiny, dreams and reality is a feat

there are definitely problems with the show, it's far from perfect and elements of it are disappointing, but overall I'd definitely call Todd Margaret one of my favorite shows ever and even the most unique I've ever seen

I'm torn between wanting more and being content with what we got

Does anyone have any ideas at what the writers were trying to "say" with the show, if they were trying to say anything?

Was there some deeper meaning to it all, or was it just supposed to be trippy, dark and weird for the sake of it?

Either way, amazing show, wish more people would give it a shot though I will say the sheer maliciousness of the show would probably turn a lot of people off
