The TVI Take
Two amateur metal detectorists in Essex look for treasure. Mackenzie Crook's series is exceptional — the pace is deliberate, the tone is gentle, and the craft is extraordinary.
Educational about English rural life, archaeology, and Anglo-Saxon history. One of the finest British comedies of recent years.
