Quite simply one of the funniest programs ever. A beautiful comedy in the same vein as The Detectorists.
This show is so realistic it's tragic, and yet it's such a raw down to earth hilarious comedy. It is somewhat what i'd call "poverty adult", so not for everyone.
Just brilliant. Best thing on TV in years.
This CountryAll three seriesOne of the best examples of the golden age of comedy we have at the minute. Of course this is not for everyone but neither was Monty Python.
The trials and tribulations of young adults in a modern village in rural England, played by the Cooper family.It is set up as a mockumentary, and its great as that, in the UK we have over the last 10 years had numerous fly-on-the-wall TV series about life in certain situations, and this is to mock those and does it very well, and even though its not a real documentary it does a good job of looking like one.
I've never left a review before for anything, but this deserves one. The writing and acting are superb, it's so natural and honest, doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.
It is honestly the best comedy ever! I was very upset when I finished it to learn there was no more episodes coming but I agree that they shouldn't let it go stale.
I don't normally find myself attracted to "mockumentary" style comedy - and yet there is so much of it out there and so few with the ability to articulate it to a point of even watchable. This Country however, is an exception among the masses.
