Landscapers follows an ordinary-seeming couple in Nottingham, England, whose lives are upended when an investigation begins after two bodies are found buried in the garden of their home, and builds a British series that mixes dark comedy with crime drama rather than playing the case straight.
What is Landscapers about?
Across a handful of half-hour episodes, the show follows the fallout for that couple as investigators piece together what happened at the house, keeping its focus on the two people at the center rather than on courtroom procedure. Olivia Colman and David Thewlis anchor the piece, with episodes running about forty-five minutes each, giving the story room to sit inside ordinary domestic scenes before the investigation reshapes them. Ed Sinclair directs, working in genres that span comedy, crime and drama, and the series treats the Nottingham setting and the couple's everyday routines as central to its tone rather than treating the discovery of the bodies as the whole story.
About the cast
The ensemble surrounding Colman and Thewlis includes Kate O'Flynn, Dipo Ola, Daniel Rigby, Samuel Anderson, Felicity Montagu and David Hayman, filling out the investigators, lawyers and other figures who circle the couple as the case develops. Colman and Thewlis carry the emotional weight of the piece, playing off each other in scenes that swing between tenderness and unease, while the supporting cast provides the procedural texture around them without turning the piece into a conventional police drama.
Context & significance
Landscapers is a 2021 British series that arrived as part of a run of true-crime-adjacent shows willing to blend a real case with a lighter, more theatrical register, and its comedy-crime-drama billing signals that mixed tone from the outset. Ed Sinclair's direction leans into the couple's interior world as much as the external investigation, a choice that sets the series apart from more straightforward procedurals covering similar ground. Made for British television, it belongs to a wave of case-based series that ask viewers to sit with ambiguity rather than resolution.
