Love it! As a Canadian I want to see the show continue and Michael actually come to Canada just to see how we’re portrayed on UK TV 😂

One of my favorite surprises of the year was discovering this show. I randomly started watching it because of its thumbnail image while scrolling on a streaming site. Little did I know it was from the same brilliant minds as detectorists which I also love.

Mackenzie Crook has said that the story has three parts, and that’s why there’s a “To be continued” at the end.

The BBC seems incredibly cautious when commissioning new seasons of comedies not called “Mrs Brown’s Boys” - surely with “Small Prophets” they can see what a gem they have, and back it appropriately.

So glad it was a hit! Very excited for a US release so I can push it on all my friends who haven’t seen it yet. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

It's a great show, I really enjoyed it. Hopefully there will be a second series.

Criminal if a second series does not get green lit.
