Inside No 9 (Black Mirror fans take a look!)

[soupytwist]

The geniuses behind 'The League of Gentlemen and 'Psychoville'  Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton write as well as star in every episode (24 and counting).  Like Black Mirror it's a British anthology show however where Black Mirror tends to focus on technology, Inside No 9 favors Macabre with a dose of Black Humour, the episodes are quite small in scope generally focused in one location. 

Like all Anthology shows, the quality can vary - but there are no outright stinkers here, even the weakest episode is a decent enough watch.    But when the show is good there is some absolutely amazing TV.  "The Riddle of the Sphinx" in particular is a majestic 30 minutes of TV.

Can't recommend it enough!

BBC show.   It's also on Netflix in the UK - not sure if it's on Netflix in the US though.   Might require some 

Edit : Appariently the first 2 series (outta 4) are on Hulu in the US.

The first season is probably the weakest.  But the first 3 episodes are all good (it's the remaining 3 that drag the season down(each season is 6 episodes long)).  If your not digging it after those first 3 episodes then it's probably not your thing.

I'd heard the name, but didn't know anything about this show before. Watched the first 2 episodes tonight (pleased to see all seem to be available on iPlayer in the UK) and really enjoyed them

First episode of Series 5 aired on Monday.  Good, but not a classic.
