The Best British Netflix Show You Haven't Watched Yet

"Crazyhead" is the perfect mix of "Buffy" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

The Best British Netflix Show You Haven't Watched Yet
Channel 4 BBC

If you've spent enough time browsing through Netflix, you've probably seen your fair share of strange shows. There are Korean westerns, Romances from India, and a lot of random sitcoms and dramas in between. Not all of it is terribly amazing, but there are always gems to be found. And one of the best gems is "Crazyhead."

Pictured above are the protagonists of the series, Raquel and Amy, two relatively normal women who it turns out can see demons. Amy believes she is hallucinating, and runs into Raquel at the mental hospital. Raquel has no doubt the demons are real, and does her best to help Amy come to terms with it. Soon, they catch the attention of a group of demons that are hatching an evil plan. There are twists and turns as these women come to terms with demons walking around southern England, but at the core of this series it is a raucously funny show - with a lot of heart and personality mixed in.

Raquel is a socially awkward misfit, and her directness comes across as a better written Sheldon Cooper. She is aggressive and confident in everything in her life, but when it comes to talking to this new girl Amy, she has moments where she realizes she may be coming on too strong and sounding crazy.

Amy, on the other hand, is perfectly average. She works at a bowling alley, staves off the annoying flirtations of her co-worker, and goes to parties with her roommate. We follow her growth as she realizes these demons are real, and see an incredible friendship blossom between her and Raquel.

Really, Amy's heart is the core of the show, and even though she is terrified of what is happening, she perseveres to help her friends. Even the jerk co-worker takes up a place in her heart. Just as a friend, though.

The leading actresses are incredible, who you may recognize from other British shows. Most notably, Cara Theobold (Amy) is the voice of Tracer in Blizzards hit video game Overwatch.

If you ever tire of binging "Supernatural" or "Buffy," (though how could you?) "Crazyhead" is a wonderful step in a slightly different, more crass and humorous, direction.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
