Would appreciate it.
Psychoville, The second series is about halfway through over here and it's fantastic, very funny with many surreal character and a very twisty-turn plot that shows no limits as to how silly and unpredictable it is. I call it Kitchen Sink throwing comedy. It's full of homages and references to horror films and classic thrillers.

Here is a clip featuring a Mother/Son serial killing duo, the entire episode was done in 2 takes, as a homage to Rope, I don't want to spoil the episode but it's very ambitious and funny.


Now how many homages to Hitchcock have you seen that do that

There are a lot more crazy characters, like a midwife who thinks a baby doll is her actual son, a blind old man with a crazy hidden hobby, a bitter cynical clown with a hook and his arch nemesis and a dwarf with superpowers, and all that is just series 1
