Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) created a video about We Happy Few in Video Games

We Happy Few – Announce Trailer | PS4

We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key.

You have to be a real man to wear tights!
Cary Elwes stars a robin hood in this comical retelling of the legendary hero who after returning to England after fighting in the crusades and then being captured, enslaved only to escape from prison in Jerusalem and seim home to England (what a guy ;) ) to find that the evil Prince John (Richard Lewis) has confiscated his family estate and is following the script and ruining Nottingham. Robin enlists his family's loyal blind servant Blinkin (Mark Blankfield), Will Scarlett O'Hara (Matthew Porretta) and Little John (Eric Allan Kramer) to help rebel. Robin also hopes to woo the beautiful Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck), but her chastity belt may prove a challenge (and her keeper)

Great jokes, Mel Brooks, hilarious performances, subtle nods and a robin hood who can speak with an England accent.

A classic spoof on the legend who had it coming.

In a world filled of garbage Twilight knockoffs, this book was a refreshing change to the ranks of modern day vampire novels. Instead of the usual gory, smutty drivel, this book focuses on a family of vampires trying to blend into modern day England.

Strange film!
I decided to watch this film as the overall concept seemed ironic considering the current state of affairs here in England.
It has some gory moments but isn't a scary horror film
I enjoyed it, although I would have preferred a different ending

"Director of photography Laurie Rose and I watched this before we made A Field in England. We were afraid of shooting outside in changing weather conditions and light. Marketa Lazarová shows that cutting between overcast/bright sunlight/no snow/suddenly snow . . . can work just fine."

I started watching this series for one reason only Tom Hardy. I kept watching as the story pulls you in. Set in Victorian England pulls my love of history and a bit of the supernatural together. I would highly recommend this series to anyone
