Green Wing. It's a British sitcom set in a hospital. There's absolutely nothing medical-related in it; the hospital is just the place where everyone works - a backdrop and nothing more. It's somewhere between a sketch show, a soap opera and a comedy drama - it's surreal, exaggerated and definitely has a lot of "sketch-like" scenes, but the characters are fleshed out and consistent, and have proper emotional arcs.

It has an absolutely fantastic cast, and a lot of them have gone onto have very successful careers since then. Olivia Coleman, for one, but I'm sure you'll recognise Tamsin Greig, Stephen Mangan, Michelle Gomez and Mark Heap - if not their names then at least their faces.

It has an incredible editing style and score, too. Like, it's impossible not to notice how good they are, even if they're not something you're usually remotely interested in. In particular, it makes heavy use of slow-motion and fast-forward at the start and end of scenes, with the brilliantly catchy score as the only audio, which really highlights the actors' body language as well as making for great transitions between scenes.

It's laugh-out-loud funny, memorable and surprisingly endearing for such a surreal show. I always found it surprising that Black Books - which is also fantastic (and also stars Tamsin Greig) - managed to find an American audience but Green Wing never seemed to. Both are on par with each other, I think.
