Can any Dopers, Anglo or otherwise, fill me in on this series? If Martin Freeman’s in it, I’ll certainly check it out. . . just wondering if anyone caught it and what they thought of it.

We watched it and enjoyed it - not as much as The Office or The Thick of It, but it was a decent show. Oddly enough, we both liked it better on second viewing (we taped a marathon a couple of weeks ago and watched those episodes on a Sunday afternoon.) I like it - I think it’s definitely worth a look. The cast is great, and Martin Freeman’s in it :D. E. ---

My thoughts exactly. By your description it sounds entertaining enough, so I’m looking forward to it. (August it comes out here, I think.) Thanks, **Elza**!
