You’re lucky you’re not a genius. It’s one of those perfect-crime kinda flicks, wrapped up in familial angst as a black-comedy topping. That it’s all rather ridiculous and overly complicates itself in the process is almost beside the point … though not entirely. See, arrogant college prof and working scientist Eli Michaelson (Alan Rickman: Harry … more…
Becomes, as all the best sendups do, a thorough tweaking of the genre as well as an excellent example of the same.
Nothing on American TV could possibly prepare viewers for the earthy, frank rawness of this British series about a wild, reckless Manchester family and their sexcapades, antisocial antics, and general distracted anxiety over the just keeping their *bleep* together.

Like how a beloved sitcom and a beloved fantasy, both new on DVD but hailing from the late 1980s, could highlight how much ground … more…
