a nineties standout, The League of Gentlemen is currently streaming in the US on Britbox Apple TV Channel , and in the UK on Sky Go and BBC iPlayer with a 8/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 18 episodes — the right length to tell the story it's telling.
The League of Gentlemen does what great comedies rarely manage — it's actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. The League of Gentlemen is a British sitcom broadcast on BBC Two over three series from 1999 to 2002. In the fictional Northern England town of Royston Vasey—based on Bacup, Lancashire—the lives are explored of dozens of bizarre citizens, much of whom are played by three of the show's four writers—Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith—who, along with Jeremy Dyson, formed the titular comedy troupe in 1995. The programme was followed by a film in 2005, and a three-part revival miniseries in December 2017 to celebrate the group's 20th anniversary. Mark Gatiss and Steve Pemberton lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 3 seasons (1999–2002), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
