I love this series. Have watched it through twice, and will be watching it again (and again).
The cinematography is second to none. I love the way the opening of each episode has a close up of a different insect.
The relationships between the characters is beautifully portrayed. The story arc is well constructed.
I laugh and I cry in almost every episode.
All of the characters are well constructed and engaging... The acting is excellent.
I cannot believe that Mackenzie Crook hasn't created any other series.
