Will Sharpe (who played Ethan in The White Lotus season 2 - also great) wrote and has great role in this also v dark comedy-drama alongside Olivia Coleman, Julian Barrett, Angus Wright, Harriet Walter, etc. I think I avoided it at the time because it sounded a bit bleak, which it is, but it's also a total work of genius. Very funny, and also very powerful / poignant. Angus Wright's character doesn't have a huge part, but what he does with it is immense. He's like the sexual tyrannosaur Mr Hyde version of the Dr Jekyll he played towards the end of Peep Show. Both of which are here - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiXxq6589eDAxVkhP0HHfsKA34QwqsBegQIDRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F263165522&usg=AOvVaw3HFAGiWTeUuv4LW2aY81At&opi=89978449
Missed this a few months ago, but wanted to give it a bump.
My favourite TV show, ever. V dark (from the opening scene, you have been warned!) but as powerful as anything I've seen - and very funny too. It's only 6x30mins per season, and only two seasons, so not hard to plough through, although that has potential to be quite taxing if you're finding it a bit bleak... also season two gets a bit odd but the final episode is so beautiful that I would implore anyone to continue the whole way. Hmm maybe I've highlighted a few potential downsides, so I'll balance it with another "it's really really really really good!".
Great score too, from Will Sharpe's brother Arthur. I emailed him once and he was seemed nice - yet another reason to watch!
Yossarian : your description of Angus Wright's character is brilliant
