After having finished watching the entire show I was filled with a feeling of having watched one of the greatest TV shows ever! There has been some debate about how the show ended, however, but I will leave that up to the viewers and the users here on IMDb to delve into. From here onwards, this is an update to my original review, which I wrote after having watched season 1 and 2. "Mad Dogs" achieves what it set out to do, which was to create a thrilling character-based series about dilemmas that we all might face under the right circumstances – a little bit like a modern noir taking place in glaring sunlight. I might have laughed a few times, but then I also laughed at one scene in "Schindler's list" (the scene where Schindler hires secretaries) and I wouldn't say that's a funny film. Someone else here on IMDb said the show was funny too. The acting is good, the characters believable, and the script is great. Only once or maybe twice did I find a few light plot holes or something that didn't make so much sense. ![]() The show is actually exciting, thrilling and well-made. I subtitled both seasons (each containing only four episodes each), and I'm hoping I will get the next season too if there's a third season at some point. Therefore, it was a joy to find something like "Mad dogs". British shows most often seem a bit dull, slow, old-fashioned and depressing compared to the American equivalents. When it does work, I simply find American pop culture a lot more exciting. Usually, I find that British shows pale compared to the best American series. Not everybody knew the backstory of this song: now they can better appreciate the choice made for the soundtrack.My headline is a bit of an overstatement, as I don't watch much British television, but through my work as a subtitler I've subtitled quite a few British series. The version of Paint It Black played by Wednesday on her cello has a unique dark energy that fascinated fans. She’s “the girl in black and white,” as described in the series, and she wishes to live in a world made of the same colors. It’s not easy facing up when your whole world is blackĪs Wednesday removes all colors from her room’s window to have a more familiar environment, better matching her character, we understand why the song fits perfectly with the Addams protagonist. Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts I see my red door, I must have it painted black I look inside myself and see my heart is black Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day I see people turn their heads and quickly look away With flowers and my love, both never to come back I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes No colours anymore, I want them to turn black I see a red door and I want it painted black Here are some of the most meaningful lyrics from the original song: His heart is black, and he wants to paint everything black as a sign of his mood. In the song’s lines, the singing voice imagines the feelings of a man who just lost the person he loves and no longer wants colors in his life. Still, the original song lyrics perfectly fit the young girl’s spirit: the song is about processing grief after the death of the singer’s girlfriend. The version played by Wednesday in Tim Burton’s series is instrumental. ![]() Released in 1966 as a single from their album Aftermath, the track has a special place in modern popular culture, also as part of the soundtracks of famous movies: it’s the song featured in the end credits of the films Full Metal Jacket and The Devil’s Advocate. Paint It Black is one of the most famous songs ever written by The Rolling Stones.
