The Thick of It (2005–2012)
9/10
Intelligent comedy at its finest
18 December 2020
It's simply excellent if you can get into the thick of it. I must have attempted watching through it at least 3 times before i finally sat through the whole 4 series, and once I managed to do so I found a great level of comedy that only a few series have been able to match, the narcissistic personalities of those in power seem very close to home. Whether this is how government runs is not for me to decide, but it feels true. And it's in that truth where the comedy lies, the beautiful semi scripted rants, the human worming and the media spin only add to the foundations, the fly on the wall camara work seem to have put some off, bit this is a listening comedy still very much attached to its roots in radio. The thick skinned characters all contribute something, and we all end up wishing we could talk to our colleagues the way they do. I really enjoyed the thick of it, It seemed to get better as it went along, and by the end I just wanted more. It's weird because I don't know if I could recommend it to anyone. You'll just have to see if you like it for yourself.
