"The Thick of It" satirizes the inner workings of modern British government, with the focus on the fictitious Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship, a rather broad title that allows many political themes and viewpoints to be introduced. The department is run by an appointed minister, one who of course is depicted as bumbling, overmatched and out of touch with the public.

I heard myself laughing in hoots, probably so as not to miss the next line. Go to Full Review William Thomas Empire Magazine 08/31/2018

The Thick Of It is the finest shot of pitch-black comic vitriol to be aimed at Whitehall in many a moon. Go to Full Review David Sims AV Club 08/31/2018
There's something delightful about Ollie's stealth smarm. He's an awkward idiot from minute one, but he's not hiding a heart of gold. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/04/2014 The attention to detail and the unchecked hilarity continue in this second season. It's a shame that the first two years of this show only ran 3 episodes a piece. Still, the show remains a wonder of writing and acting. Capaldi and Langham are top notch. 9/10 See more 01/03/2014 Hugh Abbot still finds amazing ways to get his neck deep down into trouble and his fabulous squad does all it can to save his and the PM's ass while at it, with the best swearing you'll ever hear on TV.
