Episode 3.2 Review

Overall, 'Are We Not Men?' was definitely one of the better IT Crowd episodes in a long time.

Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 29th November 2008

Ah, this is more like it. It takes a misguided attempt at sitcom like Parents of the Band that really makes you appreciate the quality of The IT Crowd. A trio of central characters that work well together, some nicely executed performances, comedy that ranges from observational to absurdity, and, most important of all, some gags that make people laugh. It's not a classic, but at least it is funny.

Mark Wright, The Stage, 28th November 2008
