Modern sketch show by David Mitchell and Robert Webb.

I'm 3 episodes in, and it's okay. I wouldn't say it's good yet, but maybe it gets better...

I kinda miss British sketch comedy. Are there any other modern sketch shows being made?

Also 3 episodes in, where I relegated it to "maybe I'll finish this once I've watched everything else I want to watch first".

The writers room bits have been the best, but honestly it's passed the time amicably but been forgettable. The Aussie Drama is notable for having such a high quotient of fucks AND cunts, which is very rare. Possibly that was an in joke - IIRC some channels give a new series a maximum number of each across the series - so they were flaunting the fact they had no limit.

No memorable jokes stand out to me otherwise, apart from the bit about 80's green edged crisps.
