I just finished watching "Stranger," and it recalls a lot of what I've seen in a lot of other Brit-shows.
What the hell is the obsession with tea? Any time there's a crisis that needs to be discussed, one of the characters says, "Would you like a cuppa?"

Just tell me what's going on, and don't ply me with tea.
