If you loved League Of Gentlemen, you'll love these episode. Each one stands on its own.
I am in love with this show, but quick question...
What happened to the writing in the latest season?
The twists are basic, WHYYYYY
Absolutely fantastic show. One of, if not the best thing on TV right now. Dark, funny, smart and well acted. Love this show
A very entertaining show. Every episode is unique and different from the other, there are disturbing, depressing, funny, ridiculous episodes, everyone would find something to their taste.
At first glance, this feels like the sitcom version of Black Mirror, minus the science fiction, and with an addition or horror elements (or, less frequently, thriller elements). But that's not quite accurate, it's just hard to compare it to much other contemporary TV. So, I guess, think of it as a comedic version of The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits without the moralizing. These guys just want to tell stories; they just want to entertain you.
This might seem like hyperbole but it does feel like to me that this is the best show that people (in North America) aren't watching. (It's a big deal in the UK.)
It's been a while since I was so captivated by a show. Not every episode is on the same level - and that becomes more and more true the longer the show runs - but the freshness of the endless variations of "something funny and spooky happening in a particular location" doesn't seem to run out. Watching this show has made me want to seek out their earlier shows, which I've never heard of. (Just like I had never heard of this.)
I forgot how great episodic TV can be, not just in terms of the individual quality of the 10 or so best episodes of this show but because there's no commitment. These self-contained stories make it an extremely easy show to pick up and put down whenever you want. That's not how I watched it, mostly, but it makes it the kind of thing you can fall back on whenever some serial TV program (which has come to dominate TV) is letting you down.
I've put brief comments below about every episode I've watched so far. When I published this they had only made their season 8 Christmas special and had yet to "air" the rest of the season. Rest assured, I will keep going with this as soon as I know the new episodes are out.
First couple of seasons are really good, and they gradually run out of ideas.
Absolute genius. I cannot recommend this show enough. Dark, twisted stories which could cone from the pen of any of the great masters.
If you're looking for a macabre show your quest is over. Every episode has a different dark and twisted (and sometimes funny) story in another location and distinct characters. They are brilliantly written and acted, with good plot-twists. It's so creepy sometimes.There isn't much left to say, just watch it. Looking forward to a second season.
Pretty good for riddle lovers.
Season 4 is by far the best! More sinister, macabre an brilliant dark humour! Love every second of it
