Truth Seekers (Season 1)

Truth Seekers (2020) is a British comedy-horror series you can watch online on iFILM — created by and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, directed by Jim Field Smith, and released on Amazon Prime Video.

Gus is a broadband engineer who spends his weekends hunting ghosts and posting the footage online. His new work partner Elton is a skeptic — until he isn't. Together they drive around the decaying corners of Britain, pointing homemade equipment at old hospitals and abandoned churches, slowly realizing that what they're picking up is bigger and stranger than anything they'd ever put in a YouTube video. Malcolm McDowell, Emma D'Arcy, and Kelly Macdonald fill out the world around them.

Pegg and Frost know this genre well enough to play it straight when it counts — there are sequences here that are properly unsettling — and absurd when the moment calls for it. Eight episodes, no wasted ones. Fans of Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz will recognize the rhythm immediately. Stream Truth Seekers (2020) online on iFILM.
