Wasted
2016 · TV series · 1 season
Created by James Lamont, Jon Foster
Four mates waste their twenties in a West Country village. Morpheus, a geeky conspiracy theorist runs a mystical souvenir shop with his unambitious sister, Sarah. His scrounger best friend Kent sleeps on their sofa rent-free, and his secret crush, Alison, runs a new age healing business at the back of the shop. Mixing the misadventures of twenty something life with visually surreal set pieces, it's about the very bad things that really good friends do to each other, when they've been living in each other's pockets since school.

If you're interested in learning more about this, the movie Wasted! (one of Anthony Bourdain's last appearances before his death: https://www.wastedfilm.com/) has interesting perspectives on handling food waste around the world.
The segment on composting in South Korea is really cool, but the one on Japan is really neat: they initially started diverting food waste and using it as hog feed, which was a great way to divert it from the landfill. This then blossomed in to a desire for pigs that had been fed only a certain type of waste, so you can now purchase pork that was mainly fed leftovers from pineapples, or pork that was mainly fed leftovers from sake production, and it's created a whole separate boutique pork industry.
