One of my favourite comedy shows of the past several years, I do not understand how it got so ignored. It does feel like Steven Merchant is basically playing himself, he has such amazing chemistry with his geeky friends and Christine Woods. I just find it very believable and love all the subtleties in the acting, just such a depth in it that you do not usually get.
I just adore this program, I know people are turned off by Steven Merchant's character but most people are like him. This isn't a fairy tale show of perfect characters, there is no black and white here, Steven Merchant plays a mostly likable grey character. Ultimately maybe that is why people cannot connect with him, I just find it makes his relationship with Jessica so much more believable. Speak of Jessica, Christine Woods is AMAZING! she is a natural Actress, can pull off the most subtle of acting and have it be so powerful... I believed her in every scene.
I really wish they did one more series and a special, I think that would be perfect.
