Weird show but definitely count me as a fan. Would love to see it get talked about more and agree that Blunt and Spencer should at least be in the award season mix for their performance on the show.

Interesting. Weird is not how I would describe it. Why did you find it weird?
I just saw that they were shut out of the Golden Globes, so my hopes aren't high for the Emmys :(

The story was relatively straight forward but I felt like it was a tonally weird show. It was a drama but it did verge on being absurdist and comedic at times with falling outright into those things. The dialogue was also pretty stylised. I’m not saying that was a bad thing as I thought the dialogue and some of the acting were both fun but they were definitely a noticeable stylistic choice.

Oh, I see what you mean. I agree with you on the absurdist and stylized elements. it's definitely not a typical drama.

You may want to check out Hugo Blick's other BBC2 shows: The Shadow Line (Roku, Hoopla, Pluto), The Honourable Woman, and Black Earth Rising (Netflix). They're all equally weird. :D
