5 Unusual British TV Shows To Enjoy This Weekend

    Unusual British TV Shows - The Living and the Dead

    British TV shows have earned many fans across the globe. “Sherlock”, “Doctor Who”, “Downtown Abbey”, “Peaky Blinders”, “Shameless”, “Sex Education” “The Office”, and “Black Mirror” are iconic and you must have already enjoyed all of them. Which British TV Show to watch next? Here is our list of 5 of them! So, stop gambling at Hellspin Canada and choose one of the series to watch.

    The Living and the Dead (2016)

    The plot of this horror TV series is reminiscent of the new season of American Horror Story. The genre of mystical thriller can be attributed to it. At the end of the nineteenth century, a young couple decides to get their hands on an ancient mansion and the surrounding land; only something unclean is going on here. Dense thickets, dark landscapes, fogs, lakes, and marshes combined with musical accompaniment make you believe that the line between two worlds is drawn in these places. But the main characters, Nathan and Charlotte, believe neither the supernatural nor the tales of the locals.  All in all, fans of the genre should watch it!

    Miranda (2009-2015)

    The main character of this British sitcom is Miranda. She owns a gimmicky gift store with her friend Stevie, who pokes fun at her now and then, her mother walks the streets with a “marry my daughter” sign, and her friends don’t understand how she can be so out of date and not look after herself, and she wants nothing but goodies and Billy Joel and Spice Girls songs. Meanwhile, next door is a restaurant whose chef, Harry, makes Miranda’s heart flutter with excitement and does one silly thing after another.  And yet, there is something in this story that makes you smile and empathize with the characters of the show – these big kids who don’t want to grow up.

    The Pursuit of Love (2021)

    Actress Emily Mortimer has directed her debut series, the melodrama “In Pursuit of Love.” The main characters, two young cousins, have fun at parties and dream of finding their perfect husbands. It is a vivid and satirical portrait of England between the two world wars. The mini-series is based on the novel of the same name by the British writer Nancy Mitford.

    Blackpool (2004)

    Among the English, Blackpool is steadily famous as a working-class seaside resort – but it doesn’t seem to be much else. And this situation is remedied by energetic businessman Ripley Holden, who intends to turn the arcade he owns into a casino like the one in Las Vegas. However, the morning after the opening of the new casino a body is found in the hall, and a shrewd detective comes to town, who will shake more than one building and more than one skeleton in someone else’s closet. In addition to the detective component, the mini-series “Blackpool” bears features of drama (which is generally natural) and a musical (which looks strange, but only at first glance).

    Mongrels (2010-2011)

    The creator of this series, Adam Miller, said his goal was a sitcom that would do for a puppet cartoon what The Simpsons did for animation. Whether he succeeded or not, the story of five animals living in the same world as humans and behaving like humans has gathered a lot of fans in just a couple of seasons.

    How would you like a company consisting of a metrosexual fox who fell in love with an Afghan Greyhound, another sociopathic fox, a neutered cat, and a pigeon? The adventures of this lukewarm company in the back of a pub in London become an occasion for ridiculing anything and everything, not shy in their expressions. So it’s better not to show this story to children, but for adults who like peculiar English humor, this is the place to go.
