This is a great series. I can't wait until Hollywood makes a US version and completely fracks the thing up beyond recognition.
It's especially funny for anyone, like myself, who's spent time working in IT (Information Technology). It's both cerebral and slapstick, so it works on all levels. The only problem anyone might have is that, being a British show, it has a few cultural references that might leave you wondering. That, and it looks like it was shot on your uncle's video camera. But the characters are endearing and the humor spot on (I especially like the episode in season 2 where the two main geeks convince their boss that they have borrowed a box that contains "the Internet" and if she drops it, modern civilization will grind to a halt).
4 out of 5 stars
Plot Summary:
Enter the glamorous offices of Reynholm Industries, then take the elevator to the basement, where you'll find the decidedly unglamorous IT support team: slacker Roy (Chris O'Dowd), social misfit Moss (Richard Ayoade) and technically ignorant supervisor Jen (Katherine Parkinson). Together, they find nerd-tastic adventures in this hilarious British sitcom from the producer of "The Office." The program won a 2008 International Emmy for Best Comedy.
