Gnomes on Stan: murderous garden gnomes in a fun, pulpy horror-comedy

Asa Butterfield plays a senior constable in a town where garden gnomes turn murderous.

Gnomes is a six-part horror-comedy series, and it is now on Stan in Australia. The reviewer says the official description, Gremlins meets Hot Fuzz, gets the tone right.

The show is set in the small town of Nompton, where garden gnomes are activated before a festival. Asa Butterfield, known as Otis from Sex Education, plays senior constable Arnold Kipps.

The mayor, played by Darren Gilshenan, insists the town stay open no matter the risk. The reviewer calls the show pulpy fun, with a slight wink to the audience and plenty of energy.

Each episode is a punchy half-hour long. The reviewer says the show stays entertaining even before the mayhem starts.
