Todd Margaret is unqualified to sell anything, but that doesn't stop the part-time office temp from being tabbed to lead the London sales office of a new energy drink. (Unless the qualifications include being a compulsive liar, lacking any common sense and knowing nothing about British culture.) Todd's new boss, Brent, expects big results, if only to help subsidize his gambling habit and penchant for hiring prostitutes. Todd, however, has only one employee at his disposal, the mysteriously devious Dave, who takes advantage of Todd and often makes him appear foolish. Cafe owner Alice becomes the object of Todd's affection, and although she finds him annoying and unattractive, pity moves her to help him deal with the many jams he creates. The series is created, written by and stars David Cross ("Arrested Development") in the title role.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

David Cross brings a bumbling charisma to this shaggy series, but viewers may find the chronicles of Todd Margaret's poor decisions to be too mean-spirited and scattershot to sustain their interest.

Ginia Bellafante New York Times 12/03/2018
"Todd Margaret" is all about its own ad-hoc lunacy, and yet it holds up as a pretty funny take on American corporate arrogance and as a symbol of the shift the workplace comedy has taken in recent years. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 12/03/2018
This is fun at first, but it becomes tiring to see him continually swatted down. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 12/03/2018
Yet as much as the channel likes to promote itself as having an "indie perspective," merely being offbeat isn't the same thing as being on target. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 12/03/2018
It's all exceedingly bizarre, which isn't necessarily the same as being funny. Go to Full Review Phil Hogan Observer (UK) 12/03/2018
It had a promising start... But events in London felt a touch understaffed, too loosely handled, too dependent on Todd's calamities. Go to Full Review Elka Karl Common Sense Media 12/03/2018
3/5
There are genuinely funny moments within each episode. Unfortunately, these moments are surrounded by ridiculous situations and disgusting gags. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

prawnda s @RT72497680 Jan 6 it seems that nobody watched this, and for good reason. theres a lot of potential but too much of the screen time is wasted on blake harrison being a total jerk, which is not ever funny so far as ive seen. the other characters we see david cross interact with are mostly pretty funny or at least normal/relatable, but his employee is just a massive douche and it adds nothing to the narrative, only making me want to turn the show off. the main problem is that blake's character is depicted as being a cool guy when there's nothing cool about his behavior, whereas for instance will arnett's character is comedically egotistical and rude. i am fairly sure ive tried to watch this several times, and this time im stopping just as blake makes david chug a third energy drink in a row. it's not funny, everything this character does is a hat on a hat, and its just mean spirited besides that. See more 04/09/2019 so funny, haven't laughed this much from a tv show for a long time. for fans of curb your enthusiasm, british the office, early arrested development, etc, why did this get such a low rating? have only watched season 1 so far See more 08/13/2014 This TV comedy is a big surprise. It shocks viewers with its portrayal of some truly terrible people and serves up laughs at the same time. See more Read all reviews
