Did anybody watch this 6-part series?

It's pretty good. Slow, and not terribly funny, but it just speaks to me very strongly because I too am a collector. Men and their hobbies is a touching topic, and this gives it some attention.

Mackenzie Crook isn't that good. In fact, he's a bit wooden here. But Toby Jones is brilliant. For those that don't recognise the name, it's Dobby from Harry Potter or Claudius Templesmith from The Hunger Games or Arnim Zola from the MCU. He masters the sort of Westcountry farmer voice, and I really enjoyed his

Ok, so I recently watched the second series and Christmas Special (Crook following in Gervais' footsteps) of Detectorists, and I really enjoyed it. Even more so than the first series. It's funner, better written, and just ... real. And the theme music is whistle-worthy and lovely. I hope it comes back for a third series, but would also be happy if it stayed at the perfect 2.1 series'.
