Shadazzle is a comedy-drama webseries that began life as a parody of soap operas before developing a life of its own. The series follows the dramatic lives of a group of friends centered on Florence Flagglebush, with story lines ranging from perfectly realistic to absolutely absurd.
This show provides examples of:
- Evil Twin: After growing accustomed to the polite and posh Fred Flagglebush, we are suddenly introduced to his drinking, swearing, porn-watching twin brother, George.
- The Alcoholic: Classic alcoholic in the form of Robert Haleton.Trevor: You would think rehab would open your eyes.
Robert: It did. It was awful. That's why I'm drinking. To forget it. - Only One Name: While every other character in the series gets a first and a last name, Jemima is only ever known as simply "Jemima."
Episodes of this series provide examples of:
- Lampshade Hanging:
- In the third season premier, Tess suggests to new character Tom that they hire Jemima as a maid. When Tom asks who Jemima is, Tess casually replies "Oh yeah, I forgot you're a new character."
- In episode 4.02, following yet another relapse into alcoholism, Robert Haleton comments: "It's like we're in a TV series and the writers have run out of ideas."
- Both the first and second season finales end with Silent Credits.
