Fantasy dream sequences bring variety, surprise and humor to a smart, heartfelt British dramedy—or is it dream-edy?—starring and co-written by co-creator Adjani Salmon, who plays the lead role of wannabe filmmaker Kwabena (“Kwabs” to friends). The six-episode series (airing two a week) opens with Kwabena dreaming of making his short film Jamaica Road a reality, but in reality, he’s barely working in a drab office job. (A well-meaning co-worker asks about his ambitions by noting, “If you were any good, you wouldn’t be here.”) He’s not giving up, though, leaning on film-school contacts and any other lifeline to pursue his goal—and maybe woo the fetching Vanessa (Babirye Bukilwa) while he’s at it.
