The League Of Gentlemen special episode 2 review
Darker, creepier with huge pay-offs.
Adam Starkey, Metro, 19th December 2017The League of Gentlemen, episode 2 review
Before The League of Gentlemen's return, there were questions about how a comedy that existed so close to the knuckle - involving transgender taxi drivers, inbred couples, paedo priests, blacked-up circus freaks - could be revived for a more culturally vigilant era. But as well as continuing to shine a loving gaze on this parade of weirdos, the League's creators have modernised by adding subtle allusions to issues like Brexit and (as when Bernice references Ken Loach) inequality. Mercifully it's still in poor taste - nobody turns to this grisly show for social commentary or compassion - but it's still a sharp and characteristically dastardly move. As the real world intrudes on this benighted valley town, we only root harder for its survival.
