    Premise: A satirical and gritty look inside the British government

Why The Thick of It might be annoying:

    It has been described as a cross between 'Yes Minister' and 'Larry Sanders Show.'
    Malcolm Tucker is a foul mouthed, hotheaded sociopath.
    Everybody in the series acts like a jerkass.
    ABC rejected an American version of the series.

Why The Thick of It might not be annoying:

    Not only does it satirize the British government, but it also criticizes the dirty laundry of Western democracy.
    The series was adapted in into a feature film called 'In the Loop' where it earned an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Sceenplay.
    Fortunately, the American adaptation was revived as 'Veep' on HBO.
    Capaldi was later cast as the twelfth incarnation of the titular character on 'Doctor Who.'
