The 5 least popular episodes of Inside No 9 (and why I still like them)

In my opinion, there’s never been a “bad” episode of Inside No 9, however some are less popular than others. Hardly anyone talks about them, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

This list features episodes from series 1-4. My series 5 review playlist can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql5tpznTHG8&list=PLRkgbQC5qUl5AnlcfxdiEcLPWx61BWBWi&index=2&t=38s
