5 unpopular and high-scoring niche British dramas, serious and funny

-NO.1-

Secret No. 9

Director: David Cole/Guillermo Morales

Screenwriter: Rhys Shearsmith/Steve Pemberton

"Number 9" "The Secret" is a British black humor suspense comedy. Each season has only a few short episodes, and each episode tells an independent story. Although it was only a short half-hour, the audience was greatly appreciated for its very tight rhythm and the big twist in the ending. This drama is suitable for watching over and over again to recall the missed details. In addition, if you are interested in comedies that show the darkness of human nature, this show will never disappoint you. The plot may seem exaggerated, but the humanity behind it and the social problems it reflects make people feel extremely real.

- NO.2-

South and North

Director: Brian Percival

Screenwriter: Sandy Weir Qi/Elizabeth Gaskell

British classical dramas are well-made, with excellent actors and gorgeous sets and props, which are pleasing to the eye. This short play well focuses on the conflict of values ??and social classes between the South and the North during the British Industrial Revolution.

The love story of the hero and heroine, accompanied by revolutions and riots, also encourages the audience to further think about how true love lies in understanding, tolerance and sacrifice.

-NO.3-

The Durrells

Director: Steve Barron/Roger Goldby

Screenwriter: Simon Nier/Gerald Durrell

Adapted from Gerald Durrell's memoir trilogy. This film does not deliberately exaggerate the cruelty and tragedy of life, nor does it use comedy to relieve sorrow. It starts from a life full of holes and sails towards an idyllic paradise.

In addition to the plot, every frame also gives the audience an excellent visual enjoyment. The beautiful natural scenery of the Greek island and the refreshing and highly contrasting colors have become a strong highlight in the play. .

-NO.4-

Poirot

Director: Edward Bennett/Lanny Ray

Screenwriter : Agatha Christie/Michael Baker

Cliff Eccleston

This drama is basically in the form of one story per episode, with a smooth pace, just like watching a movie generally. In this drama, you can see the outstanding performances of many well-known British actors today. But the most valuable thing is that the show has been filming for 24 years, and the protagonist David Suchet has never been changed. In the minds of many people, he is the lovely detective Poirot.

-NO.5-

Uncle Good-bye

Director/Screenwriter: Oliver Riverson

Number of episodes: all three seasons 18 episodes

This is a very light British drama. I spent two-thirds of the time laughing while watching the drama, and the remaining one-third was spent thinking and being moved. This drama also makes people feel that "true love" means accepting a completely different person into life, and tasting the beautiful fruits in tolerance and giving.
