FIRST SEASON : 7,2/10
SECOND SEASON : 7,4/10
I am a big fan of Ianucci's work. VEEP was a very good tv series, THE THICK OF IT was a masterpiece, IN THE LOOP was a great political satire. AVENUE 5 is not amongst his best creations, however i liked it a lot and i think that this 6,7/10 IMDB rating doesn't do this tv show justice. A5 is flawed, probably a bit messy and awkward. At times, the actors try too much to make it funny saying some lines which are not that funny. But overall, this is a success. I mean, it is a comedy with not much depth, and i laughed a lot. Humor is dry and subtle at times, and this was the best part of this show, i love this kind of humor and AVENUE 5 is excellent when it goes full THE THICK OF IT. However, it's not for everyone, definitely there will be a lot of people which won't find it even funny. I wish it was darker like the rest of Iannuci's work but still, i was satisfied.
