The Thick Of It

Does anybody watch this show at the moment and does agree with me that the new minister-lady is a not a good cast and not a good whipping boy at all measuring to Hugh? Or do you actually like the third season better?

I like her a lot. I don't know if you do or don't know anything about UK politics but she's an analogous composite of at least three female ministers.
It's without a doubt one of the sharpest shows on TV today.

Thanks, BBCAmerica, for showing literally none of the best British TV has to offer.


And thanks for limitless hours of British home and clothing reality shows.  Good job, people.

Jason's got it.

Well, i have to say that i do not follow UK politics but if you say she is based on people in the current administration i will do a bit of reading to see how well this is done. Guardian-homepage here i come.

Okay, that got me on board. Where can I get this show?

First season plus a couple of specials are out on DVD (R2). With some minimal sleuthing you can find all seasons (S1 + the specials (S2) + the ongoing S3) online as torrents and such.

I don't get a lot (ok, most) of the references to specific people but even factoring those out the writing is still brilliant.  I thought the new season dipped a little in eps 2 & 3 but the return of the opposition party has been great.  I miss Jamie though, even though it probably doesn't make much sense for him to be there.

www.thebox.bz is a good place to download it and any other British TV shows, I have a barce of invites so hit me up if you need one.
The majority of BBC America shows aren't even BBC shows, it's a separate entity that uses the BBC brand, they show ITV, Channel 4 and and a lot of Channel 5 shows (read cheap shit).
