Sadly Over-hyped

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

It is mildly funny. But I think it forces itself too much. As in, if you don't like it then its your problem for not getting the jokes. I do like Moss and Richmond, and Roy but most of the characters are actually caricatures, bad ones, especially that boss character - just boring.

I heard about this show just recently. I wasn't given much of an idea of what it was, but I was told it focused on some nerdy characters similar to The Big Bang Theory. I sat down to watch this show and couldn't stop! I'd have to say that the comparison of the characters to The Big Bang Theory was not all that accurate, but that really helped make this show original. It revolves around the IT department of a fairly large company. There are three main characters, played by Chris O'Dowd, Richard Ayoade, and Katherine Parkinson, who work in this department. They each have very different personalities which adds to the various types of scenarios that can come across as convincing throughout the series. The jokes are very well-written and perfectly timed. Even if you don't work in IT, you will still get a lot of enjoyment out of watching this show. I just wish I had learned about it sooner!

Such a great show, love it. Heavy on the punchlines and slapstick side, but also on the kind of "seinfeld"-eske side with the everyday or more specifically IT Support (or Nerd) situations and problems.Gotta love the characters and funny situations they get into. Would be so deserving of more seasons and episodes.British style comedy show at it's best.

this show is like the British version of seinfeld for the it lovers, extremely intelligent, well written and most importantly well acted. The actor who stands out is def Richard Ayoade, explosive performance. Although 10 stars, i think people ages 17-40 might like the show better, than older or younger crowds, because of the intelligence of comedic tones, and also the it parts. The first episode, might be hard to understand for Americans, because of the British English vs American English, but by video two, it takes you to it's world. Work place, co- workers. overall, this show hits between left and right in comedy, between two intelligent guys, and a co-worker, with barely any It knowledge who's an idiot at IT but brilliant at people, and IT guys, that are brilliant at IT but idiots with people. I love the automated phone message, to shut off and restart the computer, is a classic. Hilarious.
