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.
