I am gonna say straight out if you have heard of this show you are either:
1: Lying
2: A friend of me
3: Likes extremely absurd and strange things
This TV show is Peak absurd. I have never watched anything like it (especially season 1, season 2 is fine, still good but season 1 is great, and one of these days ill listen to the 8 mini podcast episodes)
Before I continue on watch this episode:
Just remember "A world without monuments is a world without living"
For the rest of this entry i'm gonna talk about season 1. Thats peak.
First off its only 6 broadcasted episodes (I found a 7th one on youtube about a year ago). It was produced in Australia in the mid 2010s. It is a show that has 5 people on adventures to try to Kill Adolph Hilter in a weird 1960s world where WWII never ended. Booze and smoking are prevalent, and while i'm not a big smoker/drinker (like at all) That motif is perfect for this show. It is heavily adult themed obviously. The production level is cheesy on purpose (Like you can see strings on vehicles, and the cheesy animation when it comes to the nazi t rex (more on that in a second) Its got fun music, and even Kaiju battles with men in suits. Now Ill talk about the characters then ill give brief synopsis of the 6 episodes.
We got Tucker, the straight man, British, the de-facto leader of the group, He hates Afro-cuban music, and has a sexual tension with: Claire the goody two shoes British smarty pants agent. She's the prototypical book smart nerd type. Jackson the American and the stereotypical "Real Man" who is a tough guy and he shares a sexual tension with Ilsa, she's Volatile (also russian) who's the femme fatale type and is a total slut, she was also married to Erwin Rommel. (She gets a Nazi transmission virus via STD in the one episode) she speaks russian and its always translated (Same with German) so there are no accents. And finally Pierre, he is a French bartender and kinda like a bard, very friendly, cant hunt, but is a very musical person, always calls people "My friend" Capable but always in the middle. And OFC you have Hitler, (The actor that played him was great) the bad guy and his schemes are always foiled, one episode he had help from Hirohito (more on that in a second) and there are a couple other characters but those are the main ones.
Now about the 6 (7) episodes, I literally just watched it again yesterday to talk about them but i know them by heart:
1: "I danced for Hitler" Joesph Goebbels steals all the monuments in the world to make a statue of Hitler as the 8th wonder of the world, Danger 5 sneaks in and gets the monuments back.
2: "Lizard soldiers of the third reich" Joesph Mengle finds away to control dinosaurs from a sheltered plateau in Antartica, Danger 5 split up, Jackson and ilsa get captured and set to fight in a arena, Claire gets captured by Mengle while Pierre and Tucker free them with some help from some Music loving Neanderthals
3: "Kill men of the rising sun" Hitler and Hirohito start a program to brainwash POWs to Japanese super soldiers using Opium and various other methods, and is unleashed on Moscow while Stalin comes close to using a super doomsday weapon
4: "Hitlers Golden Murder palace" (Probably my favorite episode but by a smidge) Danger 5 goes to Morocco to investigate the disappearance of an agent, the team splits up one side wants to infiltrate the other wants to blow it up, but there is an italian submarine blocking access, Tucker gets into a death match of Baccarat with Hitler in a casino, while Rommel tests out golden guns (And later a tank)
5: "Fresh meat for Hitlers Sex Kitchen" Hitler develops a STD virus that is transmitted at a swiss brothel that literally turns people into Nazis (Which does feature the best scene and is relevant as fork today, Jackson gets captured, and is trying to get seduced, he punches her, she says "You hit a woman!" and Jackson immediately counters by saying "I hit a nazi") relevant today.
6: "Final victory" Danger 5 goes to Atlantis to deliver uranium to a Man named Gibraltar, while on the way 2 of the crew go MIA, only to find out they got replaced by clones, and after they kill all the clones, a final battle with Hitler in a Kaiju/Man in a suit type battle. Its so corny.
Episode 6 did show off this monster that i think we all get a visit by: 
Episode (7) : The diamond girls, i dont consider part of the series but it is there mainly because its not on any of the streaming platforms and only on youtube, its not bad but its choppy because it has a lot of dramatic pauses. I need to watch it again. Its about diamond powder making people invincible. I think ill watch it when i'm done with this lol.
Now season 2 is fine but it revolves around time travel and a "Chosen one" but it lacks a bit of the charm of the first season, that being said its still a 8/10 while the first season is a 12/10 if not higher.
I am also not as big on physical media preservation as some but I would love to get this on Blu ray because if i lost access to this id be really upset obviously, and there was a limited release of it on physical i missed it and its way too expensive now, this is one i might get pirated sometime.
Merch is hard to find for this but I do have a D5 patch on my button hoodie. And one of these days I will listen to the 8 audible podcasts which were dropped about 5 years ago.
So there you have it, the most absurd, the most over the top, the most bizarre tv show I have ever watched, and it is by far my favorite TV show. When i decided on doing this I knew this would be number one then I went from there.
Edit; Its currently on Pluto TV and Fawesome
I will return tomorrow with some honorable mentions (There will be a lot)
