Hilarious! Ludacrous! Disgusting! Perverse! So, this may sound a bit over the top, still I am enjoying this one thoroughly, therefore I won't be mean on the comments and I can't hide my enthusiasm after finding this little gem from ten years back.
First of all, the idea behind this is pretty much brilliant though some may consider it quite classic. A village full of quirky characters and their everyday life can be somewhat of a usual situation, but the combination of comedy and splatter, which I guess has influenced a series of films that have come out of Britain lately, is extremely well executed. Even if it is a situational comedy, there seems to be a script somewhere in the back lurking, maintaining the interest levels high and giving this show two different layers : one of the physical/situational comedy relief and another one of a more script-based approach, creating a perspective and a depth that can't be met in most comic efforts of the first genre.
On top of that, the dark, isolated environment of the town, the surreal activities taking place and the ever present feeling of the horrific fate the outsiders face upon entering this little town, in conjunction with some fantastic, light-hearted jokes, next to some that go from perverse to obscure, is sure to put a smile on every viewer's face. A sinister smile, a smile followed by some dark, perverse thoughts, yet I take my jokes with a bit of cynicism and a twist of dismembering on the side.
I am pretty sure that after 2 or 3 episodes watched, you are good to go for the whole ride. Enjoy and spread the word to the non-locals!
