Overview
Simon Amstell and Chris Langham star in this pitch-black British ensemble comedy, which was nominated for the Oustanding British Debut BAFTA in 2012. When a series of unfortunate events leads to the Thompsons being labelled in the national media as the “Family of Killers” (after a stranger dies at their dinner table), the family patriarch aims to bring them all back together in increasingly unorthodox ways.
