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

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.

SEASON 1
A wonderful, brilliantly brutal, scathing look at British politics.
Hilarious.
This is, in my estimation, the funniest show of all time. And one need not be from the UK to appreciate the political in-humor. General scenarios are applicable to US and CAN also. Although based on real people, it's general enough to be hilarious to just about anyone. Highest possible recommendation.

SEASON 1
This show is very funny. As it's been said before, this is like a British cabinet's version of The Office, complete with amusing settups and idiosyncratic characters that exist in the real world.

SEASON 1
The brilliance of Malcom Tucker's swearing rants are juxtaposed beautifully with the obnoxiousness of his team. I can't think of a comedy show that has me quoting it to the extent of The Thick Of It.

SEASON 1
It is a absurdly hysterical show which deals with the presentation of absolutely twisted sense of humor and a collection of comedy of errors which is well portrayed so fantastically Capaldi's Malcolm Tucker and the chaos surrounding him that he thrives on. While Malcolm is heart and pulse of the show who lights it all up in an exciting array of cuss words and well placed witticism, the supporting cast around him do a right proper job of expanding on their goofy characters and their fear of Tucker's emphatic insolence. Season 1 is absolutely is right brand of stuff for your time's worth for someone who is looking for this sort of British work and humor.
