josettekernaghan From the opening credits I was hooked. The story-line is perfectly written,the actors are second to none. The characters are funny, weird and clever and you find yourself feeling In twined with all these strange people who have great depth. For me there is exactly the right portion of comedy and horror combined. I laughed and cried a bit, then laughed again throughout. I have already recommended this repeatedly to all my friends and family, it's definitely a must see and will put you in a very strange yet satisfying place while watching it! A genius bit of TV!
Charles Herold (cherold) Psychoville is a genuinely interesting little black comedy. It is a take-off on horror movies, but one that manages to create some genuine intrigue (as opposed to the Scary Movie series, which was funny but whose story was disposable). The characters are a varied and fairly imaginative array of grotesques.But it is also inconsistent. Sometimes it's very funny, other times just uncomfortable. The worst episode of season 1 was easily #4, which broke the formula of inter-cutting the stories of multiple characters and just had a straight half-hour sketch based on the mother-son serial killers, who I never even found that interesting in small doses.I should note that I'm not a big fan of horror movies, and at times the horror elements creeped me out a bit. I would expect horror movie fans to enjoy this series more than I did.While the end of season one paved the way for season 2, I decided to skip it. I don't regret watching season 1, but for me, that was enough.
steven-222 Psychoville is the brainchild of two League of Gentlemen members, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton. If you like this sort of thing...comedy that plays off the grotesque and horrific...don't bother reading any reviews, just get your hands on this series and watch!Season One has many memorable moments, but perhaps none more than the episode that pays homage to Hitchcock's movie Rope, being filmed in one long, continuous take without edits. It's brilliant stagecraft, and includes a guest appearance by fellow Leaguer Mark Gatiss.The Halloween Special follows, a one-off that can be watched independently, but also links the two full seasons. It's an homage to those cheesy horror anthology movies of the 1970s, with horrific vignettes featuring the Psychoville characters. Brilliantly done.And Season Two is even better, with a corker of a plot that steadily builds to a stunning climax. Imelda Staunton joins the cast and creates an indelible impression as the high-tech villain. She's got to be one of the greatest actresses in the English-speaking world.Alas, the latest word has it that there will be no Season Three, and Psychoville has come to an end. But what a wild ride it was!
quinny666 OK. So it's not the League, but it maintains all the best bits and continues to disgust and mesmerise as if it is being beamed into your skull from a malign planet of terror.The first episode opens with some of the most delightful characters; a hook-handed clown who arrives at the kids bash in a hearse, the midwife who delights in the pain of childbirth and many more sikos. Where does the humour come from? I'm sure it comes from being unbalanced by a knowledge that I've met these people in rural England.The performances are strong and suited, the script and comedy timing is near perfect, mostly because it all been lifted from other successful hits like Murder Most Horrid, League of Genltemen and the premise of I Know What You Did Last Summer. This is why I recommend you get a return ticket to PSYCHOVILLE!!!!! Mooohahahahahaha.
