, which is nominally a sort of comedy/drama hybrid, but which bears the unmistakable imprint of those predecessors. You can count on enormous casts, where even the smallest roles pack an enormous comedic punch. You can count on characters whose motivations, when you drill down to their core, range from indecent to unseemly, and where alliances are built on mutual greed and will fall apart at the drop of a hat.

Before he was a comedy writer, he was a researcher the Labour Party, and his cohorts—though they don’t all share an explicit political background—have the kind of experience and intelligence to build complete worlds.
Maybe this is painting with a broad brush. The New Cynics don’t represent all of the U.K.—they have their cornballs, too—and the comedy they create doesn’t necessarily reflect their own private perspectives on worldly matters. But this latest British invasion does feel a little inevitable and a lot comprehensive.is hilarious comedy, but it is also dismal comedy, which helps explain why it feels depressing to watch more than two episodes at a time.
