One of the signs of a truly special comedy is when you need to watch it a second time to catch all the jokes you missed the first time around. And trust me when I say you’ll need to stream “Cunk on Life” a couple of times, as you’ll miss dozens of gags initially through your tears of laughter.
This comedy documentary (or mockumentary, if you will) debuted on the BBC in its native U.K. over the festive period, but has now arrived on Netflix in the U.S. (as of Jan. 2). American viewers familiar with Philomena Cunk will be rejoicing at this news, and if you’ve never heard of the comedy presenter (played by the fantastic British comedian Diane Morgan), you’re in for an even bigger treat. Cunk is one of the best comedy characters ever created.
