IT Crowd's 'Work Outing' is comedy's greatest farce
The IT Crowd is the kind of classic sitcom that should never have worked in the mid-00s.
Alex Nelson, i Newspaper, 24th August 2017Off The Telly Series 2 Review
It remains to be seen how the series will fare without Chris Morris, he's clearly going to be missing out on a lot of fun. The audience, meanwhile, aren't. The IT Crowd has gone beyond the novelty value of being a breath of comedic fresh air, and is establishing itself - or in fact probably already has - as a great series in its own right.
