A totally crazy, fun, British TV series with humorous and absurd themes acted by 100% pure NERDS with one mostly sane female colleague struggling to keep them under control. . .sometimes. Might be an acquired taste and certainly not up to high-brow British TV standards . . . but maybe an antidote???

For me, this is the best show ever written and performed, and I will never stop loving it and retelling the jokes that keep me smiling and cracking up, even when no one knows what I'm referring to! Unfortunately, if you're on Netflix in the UK, just know that one of the best episodes of the show has been removed. Such an unfortunate consequence of cancel culture and streamed media that literally anything can be censored or taken down because some people decided for the rest of us that it became offensive at some point. This is why I like to own things in whatever capacity I can, especially comedy! Taking back media and culture in whatever way I can!

Back in the Eighties, I was working on a story for the morning edition when my computer froze up.I asked a couple of other reporters if they had any idea what I should do to get it working again but they had no clue. Their only advice: Call the IT department.I did, stressing the fact that because I was on deadline speed was of the essence.Right.Waste of breath, really, that bit about being in a hurry.About 30 minutes later a chubby young man wearing glasses and a Starfleet Academy T-shirt wandered over, sat down at my desk, fiddled with the keyboard a bit, and got my computer working. He stood, gave me a pitying glance, and then wandered off without ever saying anything to me.That was my first encounter with IT but over the course of my career as a journalist I had many others with the men and women who work in information technology. With rare exception, they followed the same pattern: Something would go wrong with my computer, usually when I was on deadline. I'd call IT and, eventually, someone would show up and get it working again. The pitying glance was always a feature of these encounters.As a result, although I wondered just who they were, I never really got to know anyone who worked in information technology. When, therefore, I saw "The IT Crowd" I bought it because I was - I suppose - curious about the odd life forms that spend their days fixing computers.So glad I did because this British comedy is genuinely funny with sharp writing, very fine acting, and some very pointed comments about life in a giant corporation.The series revolves around two men who are hidden away in the basement of the mega-corporation they work for and their new boss, a woman who actually knows nothing about computers and how to fix them. Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade are brilliant as the IT crew and Katherine Parkinson is hilarious as their ambitious boss who really doesn't know the difference between a keyboard and a mouse. Matt Berry as the mentally unstable, sexually adventurous head of the corporation is equally funny.What makes the show so interesting to me, however, is the fact that beneath the broad humor are some underlying truths about life in the corporate world. Sexual harassment, bosses who know little or nothing about their departments, toxic work environments, and general incompetence are all dealt with in this series, albeit with sharply worded humor.This DVD pack also includes some very clever animations and featurettes that give viewers some insight into the making of the series.I highly recommend it.

Absolutely wonderful I'm glad I own it

This is one of the funniest shows ever. When they took it off Netflix I ordered the DVDs because my husband, teenage daughter, and I watch it whenever we need a laugh. I usually don't like Brittish comedy, but this is an exception.
