Six episodes of genius. Wish One Track Lover was on streaming.
I re-watch this occasionally cause it's that good. It's a cozy little show with my kind of humour. 10/10
I think that this is one of the greatest things to ever be created. Devastating that it’s only 6 episodes
The most unique comedy I’ve seen and a completely confusing joy to behold. Watch it alone and no one will believe your attempts to explain.
Bizarre and hilarious, pastiche of 70s Sci Fi horror. Acorn antiques meets the Twilight zone. Watch it now!
Subversive soap opera with a horror spin. Only one season, but overall worth a watch.
If you seen this you know how good it is
Classic British dry absurdism that we just don't make any more.
Criminally under-seen - one of the greatest spoofs I’ve ever seen, very multi-layered humor, wonderful stupidity, cry laughing everytime
This show is brilliant!! So hilarious and bizarre, and the actors are all amazing

Steven Toast, an eccentric middle-aged actor with a chequered past, spends more time dealing with his problems off stage than performing on it.
Louis Theroux which delves into the weirder fringes of American society.
Spaced: the anti-Friends, in that it examines the lives of common 20 somethings, but in a way that is more down to earth and realistic. Here we have Daisy and Tim; two 'young' adults with big dreams just trying to get by in this crazy world. They are thrown together in a common pursuit of tenancy, which they find by posing as a couple. The house has a landlady and an oddball artist living there. The series explores the ins and outs of London living.
Peep Show follows the lives of two men from their twenties to thirties, Mark Corrigan, who has steady employment for most of the series, and Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne, an unemployed would-be musician.
A crazy comedy about three rather strange parish priests exiled to Craggy Island, a remote island off the Irish west coast.
Black Books centres around the foul tempered and wildly eccentric bookshop owner Bernard Black. Bernard’s devotion to the twin pleasures of drunkenness and wilful antagonism deepens and enriches both his life and that of Manny, his assistant. Bearded, sweet and good, Manny is everything that Bernard isn’t and is punished by Bernard relentlessly just for the crime of existing. They depend on each other for meaning as Fran, their oldest friend, depends on them for distraction.
Black Books is a haven of books, wine and conversation, the only threat to the group’s peace and prosperity is their own limitless stupidity.
Self-proclaimed business expert, writer, director and comedian Nathan Fielder helps real small businesses turn a profit with marketing tactics that no ordinary consultant would dare to attempt. From driving foot traffic to an off-the-strip souvenir shop by using Hollywood flair and a Johnny Depp impersonator, to creating a rebate that can only be redeemed by climbing a mountain, to founding a coffee shop called "Dumb Starbucks,” Nathan has always gone to the limit to make his ideas come to life. With his unorthodox approach to problem solving, Nathan’s genuine efforts to do good often draw the real people he encounters into an experience far beyond what they signed up for.
