Full review
Another underrated British comedy. The Thick Of It shows the day to day innings of the Social Affairs Department. But saying its just a friendly annoying anxiety between characters would be a lie. The atrocities, the shortcuts, the fraud, truly make this sitcom the most truthful piece of humanity. No one enjoys work, and people that don't enjoy work, will do everything they can to make their work, not work. This would usually involve getting their own neck out of a situation in order to make their life a little easier. This comedy truly is the biggest jibe at the monetary system I've ever seen. It does it with such style, pomposity, and wit that you will find the revelations within you have always existed. A better world exists, everyone knows it, yet this system works on a human level too. It's just that people don't like this level.
I could have explained the utter genius of Malcolm. I could have explained how i almost died laughing at the imfamous iPod rant. I could have explained how the sitcom is a mirror of human existence just like how we've seen in Hamlet, Stanley Kubrick pictures, and Radiohead. But, again, you've just gotta watch it to figure it out.
Consumer Advice: Contains very strong language and strong sex references
