This Country, Episode 2 review
If you haven't seen This Country yet have a look. It might have well-used stylistic elements of both The Office and People Just Do Nothing about it, but it is sharply-written (by its stars Charlie Cooper and Daisy May Cooper) and deftly performed.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th February 2017Review: This Country
While there are hints of Wernham Hogg (and also People Just Do Nothing) in the awkward pauses and glances to camera this does feel different enough to justify further viewing.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 12th February 2017TV preview: This Country
This first episode of six is nominally about the annual village scarecrow competition, but is actually a bawdy sort of Dickensian romp with a satisfyingly violent twist. It isn't in fact as hog-whimperingly amusing as the later episodes, but it's still worth summoning up on your tablet. So my strong advice is to stick with the series.
