10 Overlooked TV Shows You Should Watch

10. Jam

Chris Morris' incredibly dark and surrealistic sketch comedy series is an audio-visual experience you are unlikely ever to forget. Television is seldom experimental, even in its more avant garde inclined moments. Institutionally, TV has been a more of a corporate affair, whether publicly funded or privately so, and as such truly daring experiments are rare. Jam is one of those rare moments.

A series of disconnected, surrealistic, and deeply disturbing sketches, sonic soundscapes, and audio-visual manipulation, Jam is frankly baffling. It just so happens also to be deeply funny and regularly more profound than you would expect. Jam began life as an experimental radio programme before transitioning to television. Lesser known than Morris's other outings, it is a truly unique series.

Despite airing on Channel 4, Jam had no commercial breaks, maintaining its strange moods. Controversial then and now, Jam rubs people up the wrong way, but for those who give it a chance, they can expect to find a truly unforgettable experience. Suffice to say, this is strong material; one infamous sketch shows a bereaved mother hiring a plumber to fix her dead child just as he would a plumber. Horror and surrealist fans absolutely must seek out Jam.
