It was a no-brainer to find The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin to be right up my alley. The AppleTV+ original, set in England in the 18th century, stars British comedian Noel Fielding as a purposeless man who decides his calling in life is to become England’s greatest highwayman. The only problem is, Turpin makes for a terrible criminal, as he is untrained, perpetually nice and cares more about fashion than robbery. But, as it turns out, he takes to it like a duck to water, even accidentally inheriting a group of misfits as
his gang who anoint him their leader. Not all is roses for Dick, though, as he is pursued by many factions, including jealous rivals and a secretive criminal organization that resents his success.
