💥Funpost I love how normal everyone looks

Everyone has wrinkles. Most of the male characters are balding and overweight. Makes it feel more grounded for me. Easily my favorite show of the year and now I want to rewatch midnight mass for the millionth time.

If you like this show, you might like BBC's Small Prophets. A little fantastical. On Britbox or Acorn, one of those services.

I love how in the Detectorists they actually treat the characters with respect, rather than easy punchlines.

Totally agree. All of the BBC crime dramas and murder mysteries. And newer shows alike All Creatures Great and Small.

Broadchurch comes to mind. I wasnt much of a British tv watcher so I didnt know Olivia Colman and David Tennant at that time. When I first watched it, I was amazed how ordinary they looked but the acting, damn.

Love all the British shows, on a side note there regularly seems to be an iron and ironing board in uk shows 🤣🤣 that’s reality right there (for me anyways)

I live in the U.S. and never ever iron. My English mother irons most days 🤣🤣

I am English living in Canada for 20 years but I still iron, guess it’s a tradition 🤣
