Matt Berry ’s on a roll. Somehow it manages it. It’s a powerful snapshot of desire and lust, a reminder that in order to stay with any one person for an extended period of time, you need to rediscover things about them you thought you already knew. She wants a future that’s more than being ‘strangled girl in fog’. For Berry’s Rabbit that means the delicate Cambridge graduate Wilbur Strauss (Freddie Fox), who gets a rude introduction to real-life policing away from his criminology books. He presumably ad libbed extra bum cracks on set. Also muscling in is Wisbech’s adoptive daughter Mabel (Susan Wokoma), who is eager to anoint herself as the first ever policewoman. which are the type of unanswerable questions that – if you choose to dwell on them long enough – could cause your sense of humanity to unravel. If that sounds like a dig at the usual fate of any young woman in a TV crime procedural, it’s surely deliberate, as the show gets more than a few laughs from its anachronisms. Metacritic TV Reviews, Year of the Rabbit - Season 1, Hard-living Victorian detective Inspector Rabbit (Matt Berry) reluctantly investigates murders … Rather than shy away from any clichés of the cop drama, they fully embrace them – starting with the fact that every cop needs to be paired with an ill-matched partner. On "WTF," Smith continues to ask, "What the fuck is a kiss anyway?/ What the fuck is this feeling?"

Rabbit also has an internal nemesis in the form of the charlatan  Tanner, played by one of the few comic performers who could give Berry a run for his money in the overacting stakes, Paul Kaye. But both are outsleuthed by Mabel – Chewing Gum’s  Susan Wokoma – who’s determined to become a detective (or 'filly-fuzz', among many suggested alternatives) even if that’s no job for a woman in 19th Century Britain. It’s important to note that the title is a reference to 2011, the last Year of the Rabbit and the year Smith and her friends formed the Epoch collective—the Brooklyn-based community of artists which includes artists such as Florist, Told Slant, and Bellows . The set-up doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel. Plus there are some great cameos and silly incidental performances from a cast that seems to be having the time of their lives. Designed and build by Powder Blue in association with thanks for a memorable year. Year of the Rabbit by Tian Veasna, Trans. Based on the inspired idea of transplanting a violent no-nonsense 1970s copper character into the brutal world of Victorian East End London where he surely belongs, most of the comedy comes from the Sweeney-style disregard for any niceties in a world full of amoral scum. And that’s just Scotland Yard. The trio are thwarted by cocksure colleague Tanner of the Yard (Paul Kaye, who can play hissing baddies in his sleep). Year of the Rabbit is lacking in determination, and its hesitancy– all fuzzy around the edges – eventually becomes draining. “Who wants to see how we fish opium out of sailors’ a---holes?” Rabbit asks a classroom of schoolkids on an outreach education project.
