This sly Britcom is like a C-SPAN spin-off of... The Office. [12 May 2006, p.75]
Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
Think of "The Office," "Larry Sanders," "Spin City" and "Yes Minister" rolled into one delirious stew.

A wonderful, brilliantly brutal, scathing look at British politics.

Fab D gave it a10:
Absolutely hilarious, turns swearing into poetry.
ronan m gave it a10:
this shit rules man
z li gave it a10:
exceptionally fine British political satire
Geoff B gave it a10:
Brilliant
stephen r gave it a10:
Armando Iannucci's latest and greatest deadpan comedy.
ML Wall gave it an8:
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.
S Moratti gave it an8:
confirms what you always thought about your politicians - that they dont have a clue what they are doing, make policy up on the fly, and lead a totally miserable life. Not laugh out loud, more just excrutiating to watch in the mode of the office.
