O2D David Cross never disappoints but this is an exceptionally great series.And let's not forget that this is Will Arnett's best work ever.It is immediately dismissed by some because of the format, which can be considered confusing to those with lower IQs.The show starts at the end and Todd Margaret is on trial in England for many very serious charges.Then it cuts to the past and we see how a well meaning office temp from Portland has ended up in such a dire predicament.The extensive series of events that leads to Todd digging up Princess Di with a dildo, while also incurring the wrath of Americans for creating a catastrophe while he wasn't even there is something that must be seen.They will keep you guessing and laughing, while making you feel sympathy for people that don't deserve it.In the world of sitcoms with no likable characters, this show is the king.The third season is equally great.It's basically the same story with everything reversed.This show is a definite must see.

policy134 David Cross finally starts to grow on me. He's created a desperate character that appears to be what we all aspire not to be at first, but then suddenly, we realise - gee, we are him, most of the time anyway. We all like to think that we are morally superior to everybody else sometimes. For example, when we hear about somebody who did something terrible, we are pretty quick to condemn that person and without getting all the facts.By the way, this is not a civics lesson on morals that I am writing here, but it's to put David's Cross character in perspective. Here is a man with no real life experience. He comes off as the most ignorant person you have ever met and still, there is a part of us all that are just like him. Haven't we all tried to impress somebody about something we really know next to little about?Anyway, this is a comment about a comedy show and it is hilarious at times. Especially Will Arnett, who is by now pretty famous for his politically incorrect characters. He's done them on both 30 Rock and Parks & Recreation. The British characters are also extremely well written and I have met several people from England, who were a lot like them.The plots, however, are pretty unbelievable and you just have to take them for what they are. Situations that drive the comedy. What makes this serial superior is the character stuff and to a lesser degree, the archetypes. You won't laugh for a full 20 minutes, but you will get a few and at the same time you will experience some dynamite acting. This has been a positive review for once.

bballbob09 So i just got done reading the review on here where dude was saying that this show isn't good. And I completely disagree.First off, David Cross is the man, he's not gonna make a show just for the sake of making a show. He's gonna put a lot of dedication into it. Secondly, I guess I can see how you might not think this is funny if you don't get where the show is coming from. Todd Margret (David Cross) is a guy who is sent to London to sell energy drinks, and he has no experience in business whatsoever he is also a compulsive liar. A lot of the comedy in the show stems from these two aspects. And in my opinion it is hilarious. Pretty much the whole show he's just digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole (as the name of the show implies).I saw in the review that I read that the guy watched Arrested Development. If your looking for a show like this, this isn't it, And really there is no other show like that. This is the type of David Cross humor that you would love if you were into "Mr. Show" the sketch comedy show he had with Bob Odenkirk on HBO.Also the in this guys review he wrote that it was similar to Home Alone... WTF? Not even close, I would disregard that review completely, and give the show a chance. Because in my opinion it is great, and I can't wait for the second season to air.This is my first post on this site, but a greatly needed one, after reading the review i saw on the page.Thanks for reading.

Jackson Booth-Millard I saw the Channel 4 Comedy Showcase series pilot episode and thought it was reasonably funny and I kind of hoped of all the pilots I saw in the series that it would be one made into a full show, and sure enough it was. Basically Todd Margaret (David Cross, also creator and writer) is the bumbling, not all intelligent American salesman who unintentionally makes himself sound like a good marketer, which he isn't really, and his "boss" Brent Wilts (Will Arnett) promotes him to head for London, England to sell the company's new line of energy drinks, Thunder Muscle. As soon as he arrives, it is disaster after disaster as he tries to adapt to life in this new environment, misunderstanding society ways, getting things wrong, and meeting British people almost as strange as he is. He has frequent visits with near "love interest" waitress Alice Bell (Sharon Horgan), his work "assistant" Dave (The Inbetweeners' Blake Harrison, replaced Being Human's Russell Tovey), and a few people in the flat he is renting, e.g. the pregnant slag. His hundreds of lies to "friends" and work colleagues make things a little worse, his attempts to sell the energy drink keep blowing up in his face, and his attempts to have any kind of social life also don't work. The opening of each episode opens with him in court for everything he has done wrong by the end of the series, whether there will be another one to conclude this storyline is unknown. Also starring Colin Salmon as Hudson, Being John Malkovich director Spike Jonze as Todd's Boss, Steve Davis and Kayvan Novak as Bomb Disposal Officer. I will be honest, I stuck with it from beginning to end, but I could tell, from the change in one or two cast members of the pilot episode, to the lack of jokes, that this wasn't going to be the next great sitcom I hoped it would. Okay!
