Amazon Prime and I think first 3 series also on Netflix.

It is about guys who go out with metal detectors in the English countryside. I saw the synopsis and laughed and said, "Honey, want to watch the most boring show imaginable?" It is an absolute jewel. It's a slow start and then, there you are. I have watched it or recommended it to people aged 15-85. Every single person has thanked me.

MacKenzie Crook writes, directs, and stars in it. Diana Rigg is in it, and her daughter.
It is both funny and deep.

NOT TO OVERSELL OR ANYTHING!!!
