The three young comedians known collectively as the League of Gentlemen develop their unique comic-grotesque creations still further in this second series. Helped by elaborate makeup, Mark Gattis, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith throw themselves into their many disguises with unbounded enthusiasm. What is even more impressive is that, together with co-writer Jeremy Dyson, the Gentlemen manage to locate these alarming characters within coherent story arcs that interlock over the course of a series as well as inside the individual six episodes. Here we have the apparently inexplicable plague of fatal nosebleeds that affects the remote Northern town of Royston Vasey, the attempts of the incestuous shopkeepers Edward and Tubbs to find a bride for their monstrous offspring, the misadventures of some lost plastics salesmen, and the hostage crisis at the local Restart center. Achingly funny and entirely disturbing, this is comedy less dependent on brilliant one-liners than on recognizable yet distorted situations. One-off creations like Papa Lazarou's sinister circus or the patronizing theatre group Legz Akimbo are as fine as the sustained characterization of the anal toad-obsessed Denton family. --Roz Kaveney

Had to have it, just because of the first season May 7, 2007
As dark and disturbing as was the first season, The League never disappoints. Not quite as funny as was the first season (perhaps I was just used to the type of humor) still MORE than amusing in most places, Season Two (and season three as well) carried on the humorously horriffic story of Royston Vasey well. Any BBC fan should own this. Never would it make it on any network here on THIS side of the pond, the Brits seem to have a very different skew on all things funny, ala Monty Python. I love the stuff. Next purchases? "Coupling".

The League of Gentlemen-The Complete Series 2 June 29, 2006
The most brilliant TV series created. Begin with series 1 if you like dark British humor! This is truly the best TV series I have ever seen.

Loved season one but second isn't as great.... March 8, 2006
I loved the first season. Just loved it! Now that I finally got my hands on the second and third series it's more clear to me why I loved the first season so much. The first season was extraordinary British humor that we Americans don't get enough of. It was over the top, razor sharp wit with just enough real-world infused into it to make us all see ourselves in it and laugh that much harder. The second series is a rather different approach and departure with more blood and gore than anything else. It's not bad it's just not that good...if you know what I mean. The skits become so out-there that they lose a good portion of their punch. The "local" story goes to a place that is so silly you just start shaking your head rather than laughing. I am personally still morning the death of this brillant humor....

I usually like British comedies, but this one I found to be a big disappointment. Don't buy unless you've already seen an episode.

DAVE ... You're not DAVE ... June 27, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

After a flabbergasting first season, the League of Gentlemen pick up their bizarre world of Royston-Vasey exactly where they left off, but infuse it with nitroglycerin with the arrival of a circus and its Al Jolson made up figure of Papa Lazarou. The scene where he kidnaps another wife (apparently he calls all of them Dave) and puts her in a lions cage with the rest of his collection, hosing them down ... well, it almost drove me insane ... with laughter. I felt like my reality had been changed.

The League's brand of humor mixed with horror might not be for everyone, but I loved it. If you like Monty Python's The Meaning of Life's brand of disgusting satire, the League of Gentlemen is the next logical step.
