A 'genius' Prime Video series featuring Olivia Colman has been hailed as 'one of the best comedies of our generation.'

Colman currently stars alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in the dark rom-com movie, The Roses, a remake of Danny DeVito's 1989 film The War of the Roses.

The duo lead as a picture-perfect married couple whose lives descend into a bitter yet amusing conflict as resentment replaces romance.
The Roses also features a whole host of famous faces, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Andy Samberg, Saturday Night Live's Kate McKinnon, and I, Tonya's Allison Janney.
But Colman also appeared in a 'perfect' Amazon Prime Video series, which ran for two seasons between 2016 and 2019.
The Emmy-winning show has racked up a 100 per cent Rotten Tomatoes score and is a firm re-watch favorite.

The British series is from the mind of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who stars as a witty but troubled woman in her early 30s, living in London.
On the surface, she appears confident, funny and rather promiscuous, but her sharp humor is actually armour, protecting her deep loneliness and unresolved grief.
Struggling to keep her small cafe afloat and navigating strained relationships with her family, she's also reeling from the loss of her closest friend, Boo.

Often breaking the fourth wall, the show combines raw honesty and cutting humor, literally bringing viewers along for the ride.
