The 'too obvious' criticism of TV has always been a bit curious to me. Sometimes it's fair enough but others, I dunno, being thematically elliptical doesn't make for more creatively or intellectually valid art. But then you don't want every show to be, say, Dexter either.

The Thick Of It shits all over Peep Show
