Press

Off The Telly Series 1 Review

Linehan avoids the trap of simply mocking the two characters for being geeks, and instead makes them both sympathetic. Given that most viewers in real life are more likely to be on the side of the beautiful people rather than the IT department, it's a reasonably brave decision, particularly when the show mocks the lack of IT savvy among those viewers.
