Detectorists: Season 3: DVD Review

Detectorists: Season 3: DVD Review

The final season of delightful dramedy Detectorists maintains its bittersweet edges as it looks to wrap up the whole series.

Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones once again return as Andy and Lance, the pair of hapless but lovable metal detector enthusiasts. Picking up after Toby Jones' Lance discovered a piece of gold, the final run of six episodes has the pair facing devastation when their beloved farm is threatened with redevelopment.

And for Andy, home life proves to be more chaotic than expected.

There's a small beauty to these final wistful episodes where nothing much happens, but everything hangs in the balance.

There's a joy in the little edges that Detectorists holds which makes it worth investing in.
Understated performances, a script that delves in perfection and relationships that are worth investing in, this is a series to savour.

And it's further proof, if it's needed, that the Brits do beautifully nuanced comedy in short bursts.

Highly recommended.
