Don't believe the reviews of one or two miseries on here; this is a very well written and well acted comedy.
The splendid Katherine Parkinson is the only one I've ever heard of, but it is well acted throughout, aided by some very witty writing. You could perhaps imagine her character as being something that the slightly more inhibited yet potentially reckless Jen in The IT Crowd might have dreamed up in her private, dirty fantasies.
I also noticed how well filmed it is, giving it the feel of production values above those possible on Channel 4's more limited budget. I'm only four episodes in at the moment and am enjoying the way it is thoroughly smutty, yet with no nudity and none of the gross-out moments that lesser comedies might have succumbed to. I think part of the enjoyment is wondering if such moments are just around the corner, yet I certainly won't mind if they never arrive. I don't know whether it's considered okay to make such comments, but I also have to say that Katherine Parkinson looks absolutely great in it.
