Jen Barber is promoted to head the IT department of a large corporation. Problem is: she knows nothing about IT. Her staff, Roy and Moss, have no social skills. They make a perfect team.
Incredibly funny. Clever and over-the-top in a Pythonesque sort of way, yet very relatable to anyone who has ever worked in large corporation and had to deal with IT. Contains some highly memorable and iconic skits, e.g. the Internet in a box, Jen the Italian translator.
Great work by Katherine Parkinson, Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade in the lead roles. The series is made, however, by Matt Berry as the over-the-top CEO, Douglas Reynholm. He joined in Season 2 and things immediately kicked up a gear. Not that his predecessor, Christopher Morris (playing his father), was weak in the role. On the contrary, he was very good and created the zany blueprint for Berry's character. It's just that Berry turned the amp all the way up to 11 in very impressive style.
Brilliant.
