The best show you're not watching is the UK import "Inside No. 9"
SalonIn much the same way that I came to sheet masks and avocado toast well behind the curve, I just discovered a four-year-old TV show. Yet I still didn't know how much I needed to see Charlie Chaplin's great-granddaughter, "Game of Thrones" actress Oona Chaplin, delivering a gracefully comic, nerve jangling and completely silent performance until "Inside No. "The Devil of Christmas" is a cheesy horror movie that becomes a director's commentary on a cheesy horror movie that becomes something else. Other episodes, like "Diddle Diddle Dumpling" and "Tom & Gerri," are similarly haunting psychological thrillers — like Michael Haneke movies without the meanness. It's true that not all the jokes land and not every episode entirely satisfies, but I'd put the batting average above that of "Black Mirror," and say that the shocks almost always feel earned.
