I'll see if it's available on any of the services I have and check it out...
(I've seen Toby Jones in a number of things, but never in a comedy role; mostly as some kind of evil/mad scientist...)

It's free on Amazon Prime. If you don't have that service I'll happily send you my login.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I just binged both seasons, they're short and episodes are only 28-29 minutes. It's a lovely show and I'm happy to report a third & final season will be shown later this year!
Thanks for that share, Gob!

Lovely review of the start of season 3 here...
That’s the thing with Detectorists: you might not be literally rolling on the floor laughing, but it’s so beautifully written and performed – sparse, droll, understated and believable.
