This show is great. The awkward humour is done perfectly, and the characters definitely draw you in. I've found myself laughing many times and even repeating jokes. The show's hilarious. Do not trust the reviewers who say it's "like the Office"... In a sense it is, as it's a mockumentary, but the people who are posting those reviews are comparing it to the Office (USA) because they are more than likely unaware that the Office (USA) took British humor and used Ameeican actors... They are Americans who think the Office was completely original humor, when it was practically a remake of a UK series by the same name. So they believe it is an Office ripoff...It is not! It is funny, awkward, well-done British humor at it's finest. So if you enjoy shows like that (The Office USA being one of them) then I think you will like this show too!

This show is FUNNY! I found myself drawn into the characters right away and I was legitimately sad when I finished the 6th episode, hoping there would eventually be more. I don't understand all the negative reviews, maybe they're Americans who don't get British wit? (I say that as an American who is thoroughly entertained by it.) My favorite is the review which says it's just a copy of The Office (USA). Does he hate Parks & Rec and Modern Family for the same reason? And does he realize that The Office is a complete ripoff of a British show by the same name?Borderline is understated so if you don't find humor in everyday humanity then this show is not for you. I do and I laughed out loud many times in each episode. I'm a fan and I hope it comes back for another season (or seven).

Another horrible idea that tries (belatedly) to cash in on the success of the office... and doesn't. In fact, this one probably borders on copyright infringement!And again... another idea that could have been really funny with a rich vein of possible classic situations and gags but is instead content to rip off The Office everywhere it can, assuming that because David Brent is a woman, the audience won't notice.The secret filming of the break-room is there, the office phone sound effects are there, the geeky guy is there, the macho warehouse staff (baggage handlers) are there, the childish office games are there, the on-camera confessionals are there...In one scene a drug smuggler openly and successfully tries to bribe a border guard ON CAMERA!Add to that the characters are simply too stupid to be likable and there's nothing left to tune in for. In fact, even the characters in the FAKE situation comedy "When the whistle blows!", also by Ricky Gervais, are better fleshed out and more likable than this cast of infantile twits.About the only bright spot is the appeal of actress Liz Kingsman whose character in this stinker is buried in this imitation comedy. Simply put, this is just horrible.The final line of dialog sums up how I feel about this! ;)

Before I watched this show, I was like oh great another "mockumentary." But I was pleasantly surprised because it made me laugh several times.It's very reminiscent of The (U.S.)Office. Not just the format, but the overall vibe (the mundane setting, the quirky characters, etc.). I can already see a Jim and Pam...and a female Michael Scott...and a less angry more "dweeby" Dwight. The baggage guys? They're awesome. I don't know if it was the actual jokes or the way the different characters delivered them that makes the comedy so fresh, but I definitely want more. Kudos on the casting. More please. =)
