US Import
Resoundingly praised by critics and fans alike, this endearing British comedy follows two misfit friends and metal detecting enthusiasts as they scour the English countryside for treasure. Budding archaeologist Andy (Mackenzie Crook, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Office [UK]) muddles through his relationship with his girlfriend, Becky (Rachael Stirling, The Bletchley Circle), and struggles to live up to expectations of her imperious mother (Dianna Rigg, Game of Thrones). Meanwhile, hapless romantic Lance (Toby Jones, The Hunger Games, Infamous) flounders in the dating pool until an unexpected person enters his life. But even as their hobby provides them refuge from their everyday problems, it also forces them to contend with rival detectorists clubs, double-crossing acquaintances, and development that threatens their favourite fields.
Winner of the BAFTA Awards for best comedy, best writing, and best actor (Jones), Detectorists is, "a remarkable series paying tribute to the glory of unremarkable lives" (The Times, UK)
