The Wrong Mans (2013–2014)
10/10
Delightful Show
28 November 2013
The show written and acted out by James Corden and Mathew Baynton is ingeniously scripted. A thirty one years old letter deliverer and an office worker find themselves in the midst of the British intelligence, a gay Russian millionaire, numerous dark deaths, a Chinese (canto?) mafia, and double-agents upon picking up a cellphone.

Featuring a classic kidnapping with twists after twists, The Wrong Mans is filled with subtle and clever humor that will keep the audience grinning throughout each episode.

Strangely enough, the show reminds me of Shawn of the Dead, another one of my favorite British comedy thrillers. While the latter has more slapstick humor, the former is all about intentionally incorporating clichés into verbal and situation "funnies"

Basically, props to James and Mathew for their masterpiece. I'm hoping for a season II!
