Quote from: Sem on March 21, 2024, 02:38:27 PMLast night I was looking for something really light to watch. Bingo! I stumbled on The Detectorists, a mildly funny, quirky British comedy about... "the lives of two eccentric metal detectorists, who spend their days plodding along ploughed tracks and open fields, hoping to disturb the tedium by unearthing the fortune of a lifetime."
Exactly the type of show that would never even be considered for a run on US TV, which is perfect for me and right up my alley. Pluto, Tubi, and Freevee have all thefirst3 seasons available.

And just like that I've watched all three seasons. What a delightful series! Unlikely anyone here would watch this comedy, but I would still recommend it. There's no action, car chases, violence, nudity, or sex. In fact there's very few laughs, but there are a lot of smiles. A gentle comedy. The show also doesn't have a laugh track, which I think is a bonus. A great show if you want to take a step back, relax, and reset.
*Oh, and Diana Rigg (Emma Peel - The Avengers), is in it, in one of her final appearances before she passed away. Her real life daughter, Rachael Stirling, plays Rigg's daughter in the show.
