Topic: Small Prophets

Small Prophets
https://static.next-episode.net/tv-shows-images/huge/small-prophets.jpg

A comic tale of eccentric Michael Sleep who, since his darling Clea disappeared seven years ago, has lived a very ordinary life. He eats Shreddies, works in a DIY store, visits dad Brian and hopes for Clea to return.

What a fun and weird little show. Enjoy it quite a bit (three episodes in).
Great characters and witty dialogue.

There are quite a few shows that try to integrate some mythology into comedies, but they are all very similar imho.
This one feels different.

▼Spoiler

Although I have to say, the conversations with his father feel a bit too much like a plot device.

Deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Re: Small Prophets

Lost some of it's charm in the last two episodes, but the story was still good - 7/10.

Well I'll be damned, the BBC, CAN, in fact, still make a decent show. Gave it 4/5 stars.

Re: Small Prophets

Well. This was lovely. And weird. Can't make something like this on a streamer. Point in favour of public broadcasting.

Re: Small Prophets

i liked the show but it dragged on far too much for me, way too much filler and too
little meat in the story.  i think i quit with one episode left.
