Friends who have watched "Zombie Shaun" may have heard a little bit about this drama, after all, the two creative teams are basically the same.

Director Edgar Wright and screenwriter Simon Pegg also relied on the success of "A Dangerous House" to enter the big screen, filming the global sensation "Zombie Shaun", and even won the Romero Master Zombie series for this reason. Concluding the honor of a cameo as a zombie in LAND OF THE DEAD.

Watching "Zombie Shaun" and then watching this one, you will find a more or less familiar feeling, with the same visual effects, funny techniques and almost the same cast of actors. The former is simply the movie version of the latter.

The story begins in a coffee shop.

The weird love-lost cartoonist Tim Little Golden Retriever and the lazy and unemployed writer Dai Qian meet by chance.

They were all looking for a suitable house and it hit it off, pretending to be a couple and renting a very cost-effective apartment.

This apartment has been filled with weirdness since moving in.

For example, the twin sisters who suddenly appeared in the cabinet;

The fierce quarrels from upstairs from time to time;

An old landlord who is eccentric and springy;

A weird performance art painter...

In addition, Tim and Daisy’s respective friends, as well as the military fanatics who are always "preparing for combat" and so on.

Such a group of people would naturally make a lot of jokes when they got close to Tim and Daisy .

For example, from the first day they moved into the house, the old landlord and painter came uninvited. One smoked and sighed and talked about how rebellious his daughter was, while the other cringed and took a peek around.

The key thing seems to be the situation between these two people, the landlord will wink a wink from time to time...

Tim felt that he was not met, so he turned his head to indulge in the game.

Resident Evil is addicted to playing. Everyone looks like a zombie. He punched the man who mocked the painter.

While the painter sighed about his life, he was moved by Tim's justice, and Tim was dizzy and dragged everyone to hide from the "zombies."

Dai Qian claimed to be a writer, but she never sat in front of the typewriter for less than two minutes, and refused to admit that she avoided work. She blamed the change on the environment, so she decided to hold a party.

As a result, the only friend Xiao Wai comforted her as soon as she came:

"Dai Qian, don't feel like a fat and ugly trash!"

The friendship between Tim and the military mad has been since he was a teenager. Due to Tim's mistakes, he accidentally injured the military madness, which made him unable to become a regular army. This incident has always been a thorn in Tim's heart.

Ever since, when the two met to play live-action CS, they came to the scene with a sincere confession...

The military frenzy blocked the "bullet" for Tim. The moment he fell, Tim knelt and cried, shouting "No, no!"

There are a lot of stalks in the episode, all of which are super fun.

Just like many fans commented and agreed...

Although there are many funny and nonsensical things in the play, there is no shortage of warmth.

Dai Qian was repeatedly rejected during interviews and was dumped by her real boyfriend. Heartbroken, she decided to raise a puppy to accompany her.

Although Tim, who was always afraid of dogs, said that he hated dogs and hoped that it would disappear, he was the first to take the initiative to step up and look for it anxiously after the dog really ran away.

Tim couldn't get out of the shadow of his broken love. When his ex-girlfriend asked him again, Daisy was afraid that he would be injured, and even if Tim coldly treated him, she would discourage him from turning around.

When Tim saw his girlfriend, his heart suddenly became clear, he knew who was good for him, and decided to let go of his ex-girlfriend.

Tim will defend Daisy in front of his friends, and Daisy will secretly eat the jealousy of Tim's ex-girlfriend. The two gradually developed different feelings when getting along.

Every episode of "House Matters" may seem absurd and humorous at first glance, but in fact they are insinuating reality.

Life is not so beautiful, and happy endings are all myths, but fortunately, there are still a bunch of cherished people around who find a bit of solace and some happiness in the face of adversity.

In addition, the most attractive part of this show is its unique visual style and frequent references to popular culture.

When you first watch the series, you will definitely feel quite fresh, because those frequent and rapid cuts and flashbacks and interludes that are constantly added are extremely rare in traditional sitcoms.

Everyone in the play has distinct personalities. These interesting features have made "A House of Disturbance" itself a classic British sitcom. If you are interested, you can check it out.

Like is a good habit!
