you're probably wondering
what makes this guy so qualified for the
job well have you know that one
i'm an aspiring filmmaker which gives me
enormous insight into the human
condition
and two i haven't left my apartment
since quarantine started like a year ago
and which time i've watched basically
every single movie now these lists are
going to be
all killer no filler because otherwise
my boss threatened to replace me with
the algorithm so if you believe that
humans should be the ones recommending
movies to people and not
robots head on down below and comment
nate the human is doing a great job
now this week's list is for all you
angle files out there it's the best
british comedies to stream right now on
amazon prime
coming in at number one on my list we
have the supernatural comedy
truth seekers this new show is from
british comedy geniuses nick frost and
simon peck
frost plays gus a cable repairman by day
who moonlights as a paranormal
investigator and youtuber
watch
[Music]
shawshank what did you say
a shawshank ah can i use that it's
pretty good
yeah i just think i'll be better at it
sure yeah yeah sure yeah
here we go here we go
that was it his boss simon pegg assigns
him a new partner
played by samson ko and the two team up
to chase down ghosts across the uk
while all of this makes for excellent
content for their youtube page
things keep getting spookier as the
truth seekers stumble upon a terrifying
supernatural conspiracy
we're not afraid of you or perhaps you
should be
take a photo
oh what need to stop
stop stop my sister may or may not be
about to enter the cosplay contest
the time for play is over oh grow up
fine fire
now i'm both a frost freak and a peg
head so i've been excited for the show
to come out
now if you think about the cornetto
trilogy they've always been interested
in horror and the supernatural
and they're always playing characters
that can't move on from some unresolved
loss
so if you think about it hunting ghost
with unfinished business is like the
perfect project for these guys
they murdered me stay back tiny tears
but i knew they were coming so i cast a
spell
it just didn't go according
what dog
cut my bank short for this coming in at
number two
i'm sure you've all heard of this one we
have phoebe waller bridges breakout
series
fleabag fleabag stars creator waller
bridge is a dry-witted
sexual angry grief-riddled woman making
her way in modern london
you know that feeling when a guy who
likes sends you a text at two o'clock on
a tuesday night asking if he can come
and find you
and you've accidentally made it out like
you've just gotten yourself so you have
to get out of bed drink half a bottle of
wine get in the shower shave everything
dig out some adrenal provocateur
business
suspend about the whole bit and wait by
the door until the buzzer goes
and then you open the door to him like
he almost forgot he's coming over
oh hi she
contains multitudes we follow her trials
and tribulations as she deals with
losing her best friend
boo's death hit the papers local cafe
girl gets hit by a bike and a car
and another bike trying to keep her
guinea pig themed cafe running
can i get you anything no thanks i'm
good
and navigate strained relationships with
her godmother olivia coleman
girls gotta hand it to her hi
oh you shouldn't have oh they're
actually for dad oh are they freezers
yeah they were sort of a favorite of
gosh how special
how lovely aren't they stunning oh
let's just leave them
there lovely coming
and her sister claire played by sheen
clifford
jesus hug oh
that's terrifying never do that again
now i love fleabag
i think it deserves a huge audience in
the states which is why it's so
frustrating
that i can't get any networks interested
in my gender-swapped american adaptation
tic-sac fleabag's always breaking the
fourth wall to look at the audience
letting us in on the joke it's kind of
an evolution of jimmy
the show pavluvian trains us into
expecting that look all the time
so when we don't get it we're left
confused and salivating
i'm happy for you
i i knew you wouldn't give a well
what can i say
i'm sorry i don't give a
cool
never wear padding okay
at number three check out the og's neil
gaiman and terry pratchett's adaptation
of their original novel
good omens this one's basically a
fantasy comedy that spans from the
beginning of time to modern day
why shem that unicorn's gonna make a run
we've got michael sheen as a zero fail
an angel get thee behind me
foul field after you
and david tennant as crowley a demon the
gardener says that i must be kind and
nice to everybody
even sister slug and not ever destroy
the earth
don't listen to him listen to me
whose respective sides are both gearing
up for armageddon the final battle
between good and evil that will destroy
the earth
i count them all out and i count them
all in again
and then you turn up late for armageddon
no flaming sword not even a body you
pathetic excuse for an angel
except a zeraphal and crowley have both
been around so long that they end up
really liking all the cool stuff humans
have created and don't want to see it
all go to waste
you know what's worse when it's all over
you've got to deal with
eternity no why are we so bad at first
although no stephen sondheim first
tonight's necessity i'm afraid
although i have heard rumors that your
boss really loves the sound of music
so the two team up to put a stop to the
apocalypse find the antichrist
and save the world also i think we can
all agree that an angel and a demon
would definitely speak with british
accents
this hellhound it'll show up at his
birthday party
yeah whether we should be there maybe i
can stop the dog
in fact i could entertain no no please
no no i just need to get back into
practice no no no don't do your magic
act
please please i'm actually begging you
you have no idea how demeaning that is
please
in your finger no it was in your ear it
was in your pocket and you it was
close to you but to me the show is
really just a six thousand year old odd
couple love story
between a zero fail and crowley this is
probably the most high budget
representation of love between two
sexless celestial beings on tv
since burt and ernie my favorite parts
are when they're just hanging out at
different periods of history it's kind
of like a behind the scenes look
i do hope i didn't do the wrong thing oh
you're an angel i don't think you can do
the wrong thing
oh oh thank oh thank you
oh it's been bothering me
and i've been worrying too what if i did
the right thing with a whole eat the
apple business
demon can get into a lot of trouble for
doing the right thing
be funny if we both got it wrong if i
did the good thing and you did the bad
one
no coming in at number four
let's take a look at the channel 4
sitcom peep show
[Music]
peep show follows dysfunctional
flatmates mark and jazz
navigating the ups and downs of life in
london david mitchell plays mark
a socially awkward office worker i mean
i'm not on the child protection register
yet which proves i'm not a pedo
this is going horribly need a joke
either that or i'm incredibly hard to
detect pedo
just move on from the pedo area entirely
robert webb plays jazz an irresponsible
mostly unemployed musician
it's just the music it's really starting
to hot up
you know how much i respect your music
super hand said
he's come up with a bass loop for our
new track that is so
good that when he tried turning it off
he literally couldn't
he actually physically couldn't do it
show uses voiceover and point of view to
place the viewer in the scene
forcing us to experience all of mark and
jez's failures and indignities up close
i just called up to say hi and then
then i go and spoil it all by saying
something stupid
like i like you
i mean not that but
anyway i noticed that the paper in the
in the photograph here is
running a bit low so i know it's not
really your job
but uh well you know so
uh see you tomorrow
oh oh my god jesus i've really
it haven't i
now this show reminds me a lot of the
first season of it's always sunny in
philadelphia
the stakes of each episode are always
really small and petty they slowly build
out the cast with weirdos that seem like
they're only supposed to be one episode
characters
and mark and jez are just generally
terrible people who are constantly
trying to screw each other over
this is a great show i guess that's
everything
jeremy is there anything you'd like to
ask yes barbara yes there is
barbara how much washing up do you think
you could do without
any washing up liquid no jeremy
where's this it's a unique business
opportunity it's pyramid selling barbara
i'm very sorry and
it's not pyramid selling mark it's it's
pyramid selling and you're making a fool
of yourself you're pissing on my bonfire
there is no bonfire because you keep
pissing on it
this is low this is really low yeah well
at least i don't fancy elves and pixies
what does that mean i literally have no
idea what that is supposed to mean
coming in at number five check out the
r-rated parenting comedy catastrophe
catastrophe follows sharon horgan as
sharon a london school teacher
and rob delaney as rob an american ad
executive
the two have a week-long fling resulting
in an unplanned pregnancy
i'm pregnant did you just say pregnant
yeah i said i said pregnant you want me
to say it again pregnant
ah i don't understand i mean well i
think
it's because you know we had sex about
25 times in a week and you wore a
them maybe twice twice of those times
why did you let me do that
i don't know because i was drunk the
first
and even though i wasn't drunk most of
the other times there was a precedent
there that you just
took complete advantage of rob
immediately decides to abandon his life
in the states and move to the uk to help
raise the child with sharon
i'm not firing you i mean we are unless
you want to come back to boston
or you have an office and clients yeah i
get that my current setup
isn't conventional right it's not
conventional
by the way are you in a college dorm you
know what
you mark hey rob look come on and
tony
you for being a nice guy and
working with this you
know what mark
when i heard that greg had a stroke my
first thought after being sad for his
family was that i wish it had been you
you conniving no
he can't talk to me like that and the
two have to figure out how to raise a
family and share their life with a
person they've only just met
i wanted to do you mine
i wanted to propose to you properly
jesus christ what are you doing shut up
what i just need you to just stand over
there quiet for a moment i'm sorry
seriously what are you doing oh thank
christ
are you kidding me rob delaney
and sharon horgan have amazing on-screen
chemistry they really feel like they're
an actual couple
mostly because they're giving each other
all the time i guess it's back to
women's chef's pants tomorrow
oh for you you realizing how it is
being an adult with responsibilities
all your dreams just oh no my dreams
you know you say a lot of to me and
i let you because you're pregnant but
just so you know after you have that
