Anyone else been watching this???
it is easily the best thing on telly at the moment!
it builds up tension and suspense , lures you into a weird world, then breaks it with daft visual comedy along with some cracking dialogue
particular mentions to reece shearsmith and steve pemberton as the odd serial killers and dawn french as a demented midwife
if you havent seen it watch it!

Yea I'm enjoying it too, was a massive League of Gentlemen fan.
Wasn't too sure after the first one, didn't like the way it cut away from each strand as soon as it seemed to be getting somewhere. But it works now as the mystery gets more intriguing.
It's good they are being inventive with the narrative, they did something similar with series 3 of "LoG" where the end of each episode were interlinked.

yeah, series 3 of the League was the best imo.
just had more depth and was dark in a slightly more disturbing way. (like the dead bodies in the pvc suits continually farting and then falling out whilst they have dinner, or a lesbian (pauline) who then pretends to be a man and then pretends to shag a slow lad (mickey love) with a vegetable)
having no canned laughter is alwas a godd thing as well

They was wise to change the format coz critics always have the reviews written for the third series before they have seen it...

Totally missed this and I'm a massive fan of League of Gentleman (agree about S3 being the best). Will look out for it.

Huge fan of LOG (also agree about S3) and really enjoying this series especially liked the special 'Rope' inspired episode with just Steve, Reece and Mark.

this has been brilliant so far - says a lot when even dawn french can't spoil it....the episode featuring Superman by Black Lace was superb...
