Timewasters (2017)

Created by Daniel Lawrence Taylor, Timewasters is a ½ hour comedy about a four-piece South London jazz band that time travels via an elevator in a dilapidated block of flats. Met with stares and curiosity in both the 1920s and 1950s, the group hilariously navigates the clash of cultures and social conventions all while exploring worlds that are both incredibly familiar and painfully foreign.

Chronically underrated

I wish this show was my idea! The writing, premise and plot are fantastic. In some places, it may come across as thin on jokes, especially if you're used to U. S. sitcoms, but overall very good.
