Just questions. Lots of questions.

This is a clever, highly distinctive, and exceptionally entertaining miniseries that blends sci-fi, mystery, and British drama and comedy. A warm-hearted show created by actor Mackenzie Crook - known, in particular, from The Office. Michael Sleep’s (the brilliant Pearce Quickley) girlfriend disappeared years ago, and he has not been able to move on with his life. He receives from his father (the equally excellent Michael Palin) an alchemical recipe that can be used to grow small, magical creatures (known as homunculi). With their help, it should be possible to predict the future and get an answer as to whether the wife will ever return. Michael begins crafting creatures in his garden shed, sparking the interest of curious neighbors and colleagues. Such excellently crafted entertainment that you’ll happily devour it in one sitting. Hopefully, there are sequels on the way.
