The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin (Apple TV+)

[Kaleb]

“The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin,” Dick Turpin (Noel Fielding) sets out on a journey of wildly absurd escapades when he’s made the reluctant leader of a band of outlaws — and tasked with outwitting corrupt lawman and self-appointed thief-taker Jonathan Wilde (Hugh Bonneville). In this irreverent retelling set in the 18th century, Turpin is the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair. Together with his gang of lovable rogues, Turpin rides the highs and lows of his new endeavors, including a brush with celebrity, all whilst trying to escape the clutches of the thief-taker.

Loved that trailer. I’ve never seen Noel in anything other than Great British Bake-off but I liked him on that. And this looks like a ton of fun. Since Our Flag Means Death got canceled, this looks like it could be a worthy successor.
