Amazon.co.uk Review

If you’ve not met Moss, Jen and Roy before, then here’s as good a place to start as any. As the IT Crowd of the show’s title, the trio find themselves relegated to the basement, only called upon when the company above them has a computer problem that needs solving. And as viewers of series one and two can testify, this provides a superb setting for one of the best comedy shows currently running.

Written (and directed too) by Graham Linehan, one of the geniuses behind Father Ted and Black Books, The IT Crowd this time lacks Noel Fielding, but has plenty to fill the gap he leaves. If there’s a particular favourite episode, it’s the one that rips apart the Facebook phenomenon by uncovering some information that it’s fair to say was best left covered up. And you’re unlikely to forget the box that apparently holds the entire Internet, too. Not for the first time in the show, a genius idea, superbly executed.

It’s a slightly uneven series, and one that saves its weakest episodes for first and last. But across the six episode run of The IT Crowd, there are plenty of laughs from a show that continues to deliver time and time again. Series four, fortunately, has already been commissioned, and off the back of what we get here, it’s got a high standard to aim for. --Jon Foster



Synopsis

From the creators of FATHER TED and THE OFFICE comes this third series of THE IT CROWD, the popular British sitcom that’s taking the country by storm. Relegated to a dingy basement, Moss, Jen and Roy are their company’s last line of technological defence; they are the IT crowd.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Series Yet, 6 Jan 2009
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I got into The IT Crowd mainly because I like IT, and I thought it would be funny as Graham Linehan is brilliant, Father Ted was a really funny show and I thought maybe he could do it yet again. I was disappointed by series 1, 2 got better for me, but this is where it's at, series 3.

This time it's squarely focused on Roy, Mos and Jen, and sadly we no longer have Richmond, who was really funny just by being on screen. They go through mainly non IT problems, like Roy and Mos getting involved with some dodgy geezers down the pub, and Jen is still desperately looking for Mr Right. They're still being employed by crazy man Douglas, who has been warned to not cause another sexual harassment case - which he does, and has to fact the anti-sex pants.

Some of the best moments in the series come from the social commentary Graham included in this series, like Friend Face, where he has a good poke at Facebook and all those social networking sites. I also liked the episode where Jen claimed the internet was in a small box. I found this particularly amusing as I have heard about people who tried to buy wireless equipment who actually thought they were buying part of the internet. It's a classic, he must be working with support staff to get such gold.

This is a great series, with all six episodes here, From Hell, Are We Not Men?, Tramps Like Us, The Speech, FriendFace and the rather disappointing Calendar Geeks, it just wasn't funny to me, though I love the way Roy's face fell when he knew they were not going to take pictures of beautiful ladies on the 7th floor.

Excellent, give this a go, hopefully there will be some decent DVD extras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better and better, 24 Dec 2008
By Antonio Moncayo (Zaragoza) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
It was hard to better the second series but they have done it

Matt Berry as Douglas is more bearable than in the second series, although he is not to the level of Christopher Morris. Noel Fielding has sadly departed in this series.

The script has improved and the jokes are good and fast paced but the best thing is the interaction between the 3 main characters Roy, Jen and Moss.

The best episode is "friend face", full of social commentary, has the best jokes since the series started.

Some of the situations have a slight sub real taste and the background laughs are still annoying but the overall quality has improved all the time.

The episodes get better and better as the series goes by until the last episodes ( the calendar ) which is the weakest , as Ray does not work very well on his own.

Series 4 ? Please

4.0 out of 5 stars Peaks and troughs, 20 Mar 2009
By Peter Lee (Manchester ,United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Some are deterred by the title, those two letters "IT" doing so much damage. They expect geeky jokes about microchips and network cables, and Windows vs Linux, and they decide not to watch. The truth? The show is set in an IT department, but it could just as well be set in a canteen, or a grocers', or a newsagent, or a garden centre... IT doesn't really come into it that much at all, just a few references here and there.

I got into this show when I saw the "Office Trip" episode in the second series, where the cast went to the theatre. This series only reaches the heights of that episode once, and the rest of it varies in quality fairly wildly.

Of the episodes, the first is fairly weak, but then it picks up somewhat from the second. The undoubted highlight has to be "The Speech", where Jen has to do a talk to the bosses of her company about what her department does, and Moss & Roy fool her into believing that a small black box with a red flashing light on it is actually the entire internet, taken temporarily from its usual home at the top of Big Ben (where it has to be so people can get a wireless signal) and she takes it with her to show off to the management. It's a superb episode, and the absolute peak of this third series.

The other episodes aren't anywhere near as good. In one, Roy is thrown out of the building and finds himself effectively homeless; in another he is asked to take photographs for a calendar featuring geeks; in another Jen has a cowboy builder doing some work for her. It's all enjoyable stuff, but the quality control seems a little down this time, and one brilliant episode out of six just isn't enough. Also, and maybe the critical failing of this series, there's not enough of Moss - in some episodes he hardly appears at all.

An enjoyable series, but it could - and should - have been so much better.
