Mackenzie Crook's new Apple TV comedy "Small Prophets" centers on a melancholy protagonist played by Pearce Quigley, who teams with a new friend named Lauren Patel and supernatural forces to uncover the truth behind his girlfriend's disappearance, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The outlet describes Crook's series as droll in tone. Quigley's performance drew particular praise from the review, with the Hollywood Reporter calling it one of the year's best performances.
The comedy blends elements of the supernatural with character-driven storytelling, using the mystery of the girlfriend's disappearance as a central plot device. Patel's character serves as a key ally to Quigley's character as he pursues answers about what happened to his girlfriend.
The series represents another original project from Apple TV+, which continues to expand its comedy offerings alongside its drama and prestige programming.
