This show is not for the privileged folk, this is a pretty realistic but comedic look at being young and living in poorer areas/countrysides in Britan, a lot of the situations in This Country are ones that I've been in myself as a child or teenager and it's an absolutely hilarious take on everything I've experienced. I'm not a country folk, but I grew up in poorer areas and ate Turkey Dinosaurs and squabbled over who gets top shelf in the crappy oven when I was younger. This show is hilarious, but most people will probably not get it.
Overall, it's becoming one of my favourite series that I'm looking forward to watching as the show grows. It's unique, funny, nostalgic for many of the items they bring in to the show which is very remminisant of the 2000's in English culture.If you grew up poor or living in the countryside and want to laugh cry about your miserable petty childhood memeories, then sit back and watch this future cult TV show.

This is one pf my favorite series EVER. We laughed out loud so many times. When Kerry asks her mother to describe a BLT whilst arguing with her cousin over oven space is a classic scene. This is a more Derek than the Office and the pace is sometimes slower which also allows enough time to make the characters likable. In the end you laugh with them, not at them.The 10 will come if series 2 will be released

This is the only review i have ever wrote on IMDb and here is why. This show, in my opinion has not had the recognition that it deserves. It is a fresh, crisp and comical series which is great fun to watch and will have you laughing, loudly from start to finish. The 2 main characters, despite being delinquents, are surprisingly lovable and portrayed brilliantly!

Fans of 'The Office', 'People Just Do Nothing' and 'Summer Heights High' will recognise the mockumentary format and enjoy the unapologetic realism of Charlie and Daisy May Cooper's 'This Country'.We follow the lives of Kerry and Kurtan Mucklowe, two cousins living in a rural Cotswolds village. Much of the show's humour centres on the love/hate relationship between the cousins (played by real-life siblings and show creators, Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper), who typically squabble over the most seemingly insignificant things; anything from the spelling of 'Justice' to who gets what space in the oven. Despite their differences, the two are fiercely loyal to one another, and this is exemplified by the way they often band together against the trappings of their pastoral locale. Across the episodes, we are introduced to a host of colourful characters; from a terrifying neighbour with a licence to ink, Mandy, to the unfailingly patient locale vicar, Reverend Seaton, who does his best to keep the wayward cousins on the straight and narrow. It's a real microcosm of rural life that attempts to add more depth to the cultural stereotypes put forward by the likes of 'The Vicar of Dibley'.For though there are laughs aplenty throughout the show, there are also subtle and often heartbreaking moments that resonate long after the laughter stops. Kerry's unrequited affection for her father, for instance, or Kurtan's foiled romantic endeavours. These are characters we grow to love and feel sorry for, which, in a six-episode run is something of a feat for a mainstream writing debut. Quite what the future holds for this series is anyone's guess. I think there are more stories to tell and more characters to meet. One thing is for certain, however: Daisy May and Charlie Cooper have embroidered themselves into the rich tapestry of British comedy, and have proved to be formidable writers and actors with lots more to offer.Watch the show by any means necessary.
