Bassets Assets rule!
A well crafted story set in the bleak tacky absurdity of a south coast English town, with characters that are crippled either physically or emotionally or economically, losing with life, in a claustrophic darkly comical setup.
The silences speak volumes, the camera lingers on decay and mundane things. The ever present 80s/90s music radio adds to the faded feel of everything and everyone. Meanwhile dementia, disability, homelessness, illegal immigrants, human trafficking and economic malaise form the storyline.
I liked it a lot. Toby Jones and the many actors are suberb, totally credible, and give satisfying performances.
This series is not for those who want instant gratification, it is not for those with short attention spans. But for those who persist it's rewarding. I hope they will make another series.
