Mackenzie Crook's new Apple TV comedy "Small Prophets" features Pearce Quigley in a leading role as a melancholy man investigating his girlfriend's disappearance. Quigley's character enlists help from a new friend played by Lauren Patel and supernatural forces in his search for answers.
The series combines comedy with elements of mystery as Quigley navigates both the investigation and his relationship with his new companion. Crook, known for his work in television and film, directs and shapes the tone of the production, bringing his characteristic droll sensibility to the material.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Quigley's performance stands out as one of the year's best. His portrayal of the central character grounds the show's blend of humor and darker supernatural elements as he pursues the truth about what happened to his girlfriend.
The show is now available on Apple TV, adding to the streamer's comedy offerings alongside its broader catalog of original programming.
