The Thick Of It is known for two things – incisive satire of the political class, and turning the use of profanity into an art form. These two things are not unrelated. Most of the brainpower of our best and brightest seems to be spent on increasingly elaborate uses of swear words, with whatever’s left over used for covering their behinds. The poli...
I’ve written about the charms of Derry Girls before, and while it’s undeniably tethered to a certain time and place (to wit, Stroke City in the ‘90s), its depiction of skin-crawling teenage angst crosses all borders. Sure, you may be living in the midst of an ongoing campaign of sectarian terrorism, but that all pales into significance when you’re ...
Cringe comedy is a beast all of its own, where the laughs are equal parts ‘imagine if that happened to me’ and ‘thank God it didn’t’. David Mitchell and Robert Webb in Peep Show are the yin and yang of this: one uptight introvert, one party-boy extrovert, both awful little men who have awful little things happen to them. What elevates this from bei...
This was a very long-awaited addition to Netflix’s stable. Although it ended in 2014, when the streaming service picked it up in 2020 it shot into their ten most popular shows almost immediately. The show’s about nothing more complicated than a group of misfits attending the same community college who end up becoming friends. It might be a fairly p...
It is an incredibly rare work that can make you both laugh aloud and also weep, let alone do both within two minutes. This is the unusual balance that Flowers successfully manages, even if only for a mere two seasons. Created, written by, and starring Will Sharpe, it’s a portrait of a family group who are deeply odd yet lovable, in spite – or becau...
The incredibly wealthy Bluth family fall on some hard times after their patriarch is arrested for, as he puts it, “some light treason”. As the rest of the clan pursue their own weird obsessions, or possibly just shiny objects, Jason Bateman’s only-sane-man desperately tries to hold it all together. Its unique style, heavy on cutaways, running jokes...
What if you died and went to heaven – but didn’t really deserve it? This is the problem faced by Kristen Bell’s atavistic layabout Eleanor Shellstrop in The Good Place, who, quite incredibly, has been mistaken for another Eleanor Shellstrop, one who had devoted her life to making the world a better place. Now, surrounded by the kind of people who a...
You might not expect a show that’s openly about substance abuse, narcissism, and toxic relationships to be much of a comedy. But there again, you might not expect a cartoon full of talking animals to be about substance abuse, narcissism, and toxic relationships, either. While it’s indisputably a comedy show, it’s no Looney Tunes, it’s something muc...
Set in the dank, underground IT department of a very large company, The IT Crowd may come off slightly like a period piece nowadays. It was pretty much on the cusp of the era when ‘have you tried turning it off and on again?’ went from slightly fringe advice to something everyone who doesn’t live in a cave knows. However, the misadventures of what ...
When the unimaginably wealthy Rose family loses it all, and have to go and live in a small town they bought as a joke (this being the Schitt’s Creek of the title), it’s not so much a comedy of opposites as a comedy of talking-past-each-others. It’s a sort of reverse Beverly Hillbillies situation, but there’s no malice between the Roses and their ne...
