About
You’ll like this if you enjoy classic British workplace satire with class conflict and dry humor, especially near The Green Man or The Wrong Box; Not for you if dated social attitudes put you off.
Pros: sharp British satire; strong comic cast; lively class commentary | Cons: dated attitudes; very British references; some find it slow
