Howard Overman, the BAFTA-winning creator of Misfits, says he devised new E4/ Netflix series Crazyhead after watching everyday sexism in action. This eventually gave birth to Crazyhead 's ass-kicking lead duo, Amy (Cara Theobold) and Raquel (Susan Wokoma), two smart, funny and somewhat misunderstood young women who join forces because they're the only ones who can see – and take down – menacing demons emerging from the underworld. Some people are calling it "the British Buffy " for obvious reasons, but Crazyhead 's unique tone makes it stand out: one minute it's gasp-out-loud scary, the next it's laugh-out-loud funny.
