Reviews

thomasjay-52277 Brilliant characters and setting this is a brilliant show and fantastically crafted with various settings and episodes parodying genre and shows the performances are on a different level shame it didn't last much longer, i highly recommend

MartinHafer Graham Linehan wrote one of the very best comedies of the 1990s, "Father Ted". If you haven't seen it, you absolutely must. I was very fortunate to have my sister-in-law recommend "The IT Crowd" because it shows that Linehan is a very blessed writer...someone who has been brilliant twice or more in his career. I don't know how he did it, but "The IT Crowd" manages to be nearly as good as "Father Ted".The show is set in the basement of a building housing a mega-corporation*. It follows the adventures of two incredibly geeky computer nerds who provide support to folks who mostly couldn't care less about them. And, in the first episode they are joined by Jen...a rather dim career woman without a clue as to how computers or the internet actually work or how to fix anything! The show works well because of two big reasons. First, the dialog is brilliant...and often I could imagine Father Ted and the thickie Father Dougal having the exact same conversations. Second, the sitations the three characters get in are simply hilarious. I particularly loved the episode about the gay play as well as the episode where Jen decides to show everyone THE Internet! Overall, there's really nothing not to like about the show...watch it.

OneEightNine Media Bloody Brilliant! I didn't even know they added another episode and gave us an official ending to this masterpiece. There are so many things I love about this series. What trips me out is how it keeps getting progressively better with each episode. Seriously, some of the last few episodes are nearly lethal gut-busters. The final episode they tacked on after a few years isn't as funny as the rest of the series but it was nice of them to give it to us. Some of the jokes are dated but work well regardless. In about 100 years from now, this television series will be used as educational material for what mankind was like at the start of IT becoming mainstream.

maddstudent2005 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.
