About

"Highwayman folklore turned into gleeful, silly nonsense"

A cheeky, deliberately fake retelling of the legendary English highwayman, reimagined here as a hapless glory-hound who stumbles into infamy rather than earning it. Noel Fielding plays Turpin as a preening, image-obsessed fraud surrounded by a gang of misfits and pursued by bumbling lawmen. The tone is silly and anachronistic, packed with modern slang, absurd asides, and deadpan narration mocking the whole idea of highwayman folklore. It moves fast and never takes itself seriously, working best as a loose, sketch-like romp rather than a tightly plotted story.

Watch it for

Noel Fielding's committed, ridiculous take on a legendary outlaw as a clueless fame-chaser.

Maybe skip if

you want grounded historical drama or dislike broad, absurdist comedy with modern slang.
