The essence of Shearsmith and Pemberton in 3.5 hours. While it’s not as funny as League, nor as clever as Inside No. 9, Psychoville gives us an incredibly memorable cast of characters and a plot full of horror cliches for the duo to take the piss out of. Throw in an interesting mystery through line and you’ve got an excellent first series that solves itself yet still leaves the viewer with more questions. The one take episode focusing exclusively on incestuous mother/son murderers Maureen and David Sowerbutts is a truly excellent half hour, and the rest of the show maintains a similar level of quality. Very excited for the next series.
