[TV] Psychoville

[karohemd]

After a long drought, along comes this gem (watch it on iplayer if you missed it last night). It's creepy (Dawn French is downright scary) in some and funny in other places. Not quite sure what's going on yet (a range of different characters get odd, handwritten letters) but I really enjoyed the first two episodes (the second was on the red button).

If you like weirdness and dark humour, this is for you.

Thanks. I'll be checking that out.

It was a bit unspecifically creepy. I'd have liked a bit more plot, you gave it all in 9 words above. I haven't seen the second episode yet but I'm hoping it kicks off a bit more.

*nods* It's a bit slow plot-wise but that's not really annoying me yet. There isn't much advancement in the second ep but you get to know the characters (and their obsessions) a little better.

The "League of Gentlemen" team do disturbing humour very well. I was quite intrigued.

On the other hand, I'm also really enjoying Krog (Krod?) Mandoon at the moment, although seeing Matt Lucas leering after breasts takes a bit of getting used to!

I'd been intrigued by the trailer and wasn't disappointed.

Some bits of Krod are a bit cringe-worthy but Lucas is brilliant. I'd downloaded the US version (different narrator) so I know it already. Good low-brow fun, though.
