If you haven't seen Vicious on PBS yet, it's a must watch. And there's no time like the present. With Season 2 starting on Sunday 8/23, PBS has all 6 episodes of Season 1 ready for your binging pleasure, that is until Sunday. Episodes will be pulled down as the new season starts.
What's the show about?
The story of partners Freddie (Ian McKellen) and Stuart (Derek Jacobi), who have lived together in a small central London flat for nearly 50 years. Constantly picking each other apart and holding on to petty slights for decades, Freddie and Stuart are always at each other’s throats, cracking snide remarks aimed at the other’s age, appearance and flaws. – pbs.org
What I like about the story is that the writing is right on point. It's not heavy with the British humor you would find in Fawlty Towers or Are you Being Served, but it has a dash of Brit wit with an international audience in mind.
Here's the trailer for Season 2
Join Ian McKellen as Freddie and Derek Jacobi as Stuart as they embark on a new season of humorous mishaps, hideous break-ups and heart-warming make-ups. Returning with them are Frances de la Tour as their old friend Violet and Iwan Rheon as their neighbor Ash. Season 2 premieres Sunday, August 23, 2015 at 10:30 p.m. ET. Check you local listings. – pbs.org
Binge watch the first season (6 episodes) here before they expire in 2 days. Okay, here's episode 1 inserted below to get you rolling. It's only about 22 minutes long. You deserve a fun break from your work, no?
Did Derek finally come out to his mother in Season 1?
Does Season 2 find us blessed with the presence of the hot upstairs neighbor Ash (Iwan Rheon from Misfits and Game of Thrones)?
Are you a fan of the show already?

You can’t help but love this
You can't help but love this show. It is far-fetched and stereotypical, but it works, and we know this couple in real life. They could be gay or straight, but they are our neighbors, parents or grandparents, and friends.
