This sly Britcom is like a C-SPAN spin-off of... The Office. [12 May 2006, p.75]

To say this is a comedy for people with brains almost gives it a disservice. This is like a septic shock to your system if you're used to normal TV and you watch this show and stop paying attention for a moment you'll miss a joke they come so thick and fast a true master class in writing and wit.

Pretty good......borrows a bit too liberally from 'The Office' though.......definitely a series that people have to pay close attention to, and it'll undoubtedly fly over most people's heads. But that's ok, WE get it. ;)

It is somewhat excruciating, although not as much as The Office (assuming that you work in an office and not govnt). But the pain is worth it: "defecation outrage" still has us laughing.

The constant extremely shaky camera is making me sick. I get dizzy after only a couple minutes.
Besides making me physically sick, the show doesn't make me laugh either. Maybe I am not into English comedy.
