I finished it and I agree--I missed the hype though. I thought it was just an okay show, uneven as you said, and worth watching for my precious Matt. :3 I feel like it came out in a weird time in history and in tv. I'm pointlessly digressing here, but I was thinking a story like this would have done better if it came out in another time, like in the 2000s. People in the US and England were bitter and cynical about pres GW Bush and PM Tony Blair and it was cool to poke fun at yuppies like the ones on Avenue 5 (and we *laughed* at Bush too). Nowadays we have real-life politicians who are worse than the characters who are supposed to be horrible & incompetent but in a *funny* way and in our present situation it's hard to laugh.
