My first viewing of the It Crowd, and I am glad I took some time and found a good comedy, liked by most on this app, by the high rating, and highly rated episodes. However the pilot is finding its feet, and for me it doesn't do a brilliant job when it comes to the humour. But, does show good promise, by the likeable and charming cast members here, and some light humour for the audience to sink their teeth into. So whilst it's a slow pilot, it does show promise for later seasons and episodes down the line.
Jen has been appointed by the owner, by Denholm for computers. Where he says the "NERDS" very loudly. After a promising interview, that's far from the truth. But somehow she is still appointed as the manager of the IT section, right down to the bottom, in the basement.
She pretends she has a phone call, and pretends to be writing on the computer, but as a matter of fact she is really bad at hiding the fact she has no clue or ideas on how a Computer functions. Maurice and Roy always find a way and work out how she's able to communicate, considering the plugs are all out giving her no connection on the device. Where Maurice figures out streight away she doesn't have a clue on what she is doing. These are all funny segments throughout the mini-pilot.
The mini Story Maurine dishes out in the party is hillarious, as everyone's face drops into a concerned look. This scene was also comedy gold, and British humour at it's absolute peak. But, for me not all the jokes landed, and some of them didn't really work as they were overused at certain points.
Also the laugh track is just annoying at this point.
So, Would I recommend the It Crowd?
I would indeed, despite the slow start-6/10 Imdb Score.
