Neverwhere (1996)
7/10
"It's very cold, my friend. And very dark. And very cold."

Neil Gaiman's insanely ambitious 90's TV series is a wild ride into a strangely progressive dark pocket of forgotten Brit TV. Filmed on strange cameras and ending up with this odd unvarnished presentation that looks much better in retrospect than it did at the time, bristling with oddments and weirdnesses and absolutely great British character actors. Trevor Peacock? A super young Paterson Joseph and Tamsin Greig? Peter Capaldi as the ominous Angel Islington?? A thousand times yes. It's extraordinarily gawky but strangely endearing, like a lot of Gaiman's work, but is also very recognisably his which is quite an impressive feat in a lot of ways.
