"Ordinary blokes, extraordinary chaos, surprisingly big stunts"
Two bored small-town council workers, played by Mathew Baynton and James Corden, stumble into a kidnapping plot after one of them wakes up with amnesia following a car crash and answers a phone call meant for someone else. What starts as a mistaken-identity mix-up spirals into gunfights, car chases, and increasingly implausible cover-ups. The tone is fast, silly, and self-aware, mixing everyman panic with genuinely slick action for a comedy. It moves briskly across two short seasons and never overstays its welcome.
the escalating, genuinely well-shot action sequences paired with two leads' believable panic and chemistry.
you want grounded realism, since the plot leans hard into absurd coincidence and escalation.
