psychoville, season 2 (reece shearsmith, steve pemberton)

'not now, silent singer!' is the new 'i done a bad murder'; these guys create the darkest humour shown on tv. again, a masterpiece. the tina turner sketch will always stay with me. and i don't think i'll be able to forget the episode with mr jelly and the kidney. my smile kind of froze half way through, but i liked it! oh, and ladybird-face!! i love her to bits!!
i found the storyline a bit too all over the place at the beginning, with the mix of old and new characters, couldn't see where the new ones fit into place; but after a couple of weeks everything started making more sense. i'm sad it's over, i want more episodes!

'did you masturbate in my tea?'

psychoville (reece shearsmith and steve pemberton)

i liked it even better on the second viewing. the humour is just so spot-on. 'i done a bad murder' and 'fuck pig' are two phrases that will make tv history. all the characters are just brilliant. obviously, i have my favourites (the serial killer mother and son combo), but all have their strengths. i particularly like the hitchcock homage, but most of the episodes are really high standard. i have to admit i felt a bit disappointed by the open ending, i'd have prefered a more solid grand finale, but hey, i guess they just wanted to leave doors open for a possible second season. pity they didn't include the hallowe'en special in the dvd extras, though.
