Boon has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Britbox Apple TV Channel . Every one of its 7 seasons holds up. 15 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Michael Elphick sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Boon arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Boon gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Boon is a British television drama and modern-day western series starring Michael Elphick, David Daker, and later Neil Morrissey. It was created by Jim Hill and Bill Stair and filmed by Central Television for ITV. It revolved around the life of a modern-day Lone Ranger and ex-firefighter, Ken Boon. Michael Elphick and David Daker lead a cast that never overplays a joke. The series ran for 7 seasons (1986–1992), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Boon holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Boon is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. The tonal similarities to Bosch: Legacy are real, though Boon carves out its own identity quickly. 7 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Michael Elphick anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Boon wrapped up in 1992, created by Jim Hill — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
