Series Brief

Overview

Legendary highwayman Dick Turpin sets out on a series of wildly absurd escapades when he's made the reluctant leader of a band of outlaws—and tasked with outwitting utterly corrupt lawman Jonathan Wilde.

Why fans love it

The 2024 series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin functions as a departure from typical high-stakes period dramas. The show prioritizes a lighthearted tone, trading gritty realism for a sense of playfulness. Noel Fielding anchors a world where highway robbery serves as the backdrop for absurdity rather than tension, creating a comfortable viewing experience that does not demand intensity from its audience.

The writing leans into the unexpected, grounding the action in a rhythm that feels detached from standard genre expectations. By focusing on the dynamics between an unlikely leader and his band of misfits, the show establishes a distinct comedic identity. It succeeds through a consistent focus on whimsy, proving more interested in the humor of its situations than the accuracy of its historical setting.
