Anybody on here a 'League of Gentlemen' fan (the British TV show not to be confused with the 'League of Extraordinary Gentleman' movie)? Particularly anybody outside of the UK. It's pretty difficult to describe, but it's kind of a Gothic horror series stuck in a sit-som body, or maybe vice versa. You start thinking 'wtf?' and by the 2nd or 3rd episode you're hooked, not knowing whether to laugh or request stronger medication.
Has it made it abroad? Did it make any sense to non-Brits? I guess I'm particularly interested as I assumed the humour was very British - grotesque caricatures of strange folk we've all met but can't quite place - but I introduced a Kiwi friend of mine to it, and he made the same progress from incomprehension to disturbed hilarity? Is it developing a cult following elsewhere? Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Are you local?
