SERIES PREMIERE: Another British series premiere is imported courtesy of the Acorn streaming site. This one is a six-episode comedy miniseries called Detectorists, acclaimed as the most popular comedy airing on BBC4 in 2014. (To be fair, BBC4 is to England what the CW is to the U.S., at least in terms of overall viewership.) Both the show’s premise and its stars, though, are intriguingly oddball. Detectorists, joining the lineup today at the Acorn TV streaming website, is about members of the Danebury Metal Detectors Club, who comb the countryside of Essex looking for possible fortune buried beneath the surface – kind of like those equally deluded optimists combing Fort Lauderdale beach at all hours. And playing the two most persistent fortune hunters? Standout character actors Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones.
