The production throughout was a bit clunky and it often had that am-dram feeling that seems to be compulsory for some BBC shows, which I imagine is lack of cash and doing everything in one take.

So, yeah, I love the more extreme end of your spectrum. Stuff like:<br /> <br /> Resident Alien (a bit muddled but enjoyable)<br /> Santa Clara Diet (enjoyed this one a great deal)<br /> Russian Doll (great)<br /> Made for Love (tech based rather than supernatural but same vibe)<br /> <br /> And... not sure if these are on your spectrum since there's nothing explicitly supernatural, but they *might* satisfy the same whatever...<br /> <br /> Poker Face<br /> Basically Columbo. Woman who can detect lies keeps stumbling into murders. Got some wit to it, very enjoyable.<br /> <br /> Kevin Can F**k Himself<br /> I've only seen the first season so far but I really like this one. It's about a woman who's married to the kind of obnoxious asshole you'd find in an 80s sitcom. When he's on-screen it *is* an 80s sticom, it goes to a multi-camera, live audience, brightly lit 80s sitcom format. And when he's not on-screen it's the depressing nightmare of the reality of her life.<br /> <br /> Severance<br /> This is more technology mystery-box. But it's compelling and consistently unsettling.<br /> <br /> Review<br /> These are getting more tenuously related to what you asked for. Starts off as a fairly dumb comedy but gets more unsettling as it goes on.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43019.10&return_msg=43019.2" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43019.10"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43019_11"></a><div class="message" id="message_43019_11"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time"> 9 May 21:56</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 May 21:59"></span></span> <span class="message_count">11 of 16</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43019.11">43019.11</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43019.2#a43019_10" target="_self">43019.10</a></div> <div class="message_body"> ooh.
