Best-written comedy I've seen in a long time. A superbly nuanced B-cast takes this show to the next level! The way in which the cast bounce off eachother is seamless and rarely seen to this degree in modern productions.

A funny sitcom. Its greatest strength is the witty script combined with the comical performances of the cast. It is well worth watching.
