Critics' reviews

"It’s old-school silly, filmed (...) in front of a studio audience, rich with sublimely broad performances, appreciative of the well-timed one-liner and the pratfall"

Robert Abele: Los Angeles Times
"So far, so good, but while writer-director Graham Linehan (...) has created a vivid trio of oddball characters, his ingenuity doesn't extend to finding consistently amusing situations in which to put them"

Brian Lowry: Variety
"'The IT Crowd' packages feeble stereotypes and then hits the send button"

Ginia Bellafante: The New York Times
"[It] was a relentlessly funny and self-aware take on the workplace sitcom (...) It was never less than entertaining"

Caroline Framke: AV Club
"'The IT Crowd' is, in many ways, an unashamedly traditional sitcom, but it still manages to feels fresh and different through its use of tech language and embrace of geek culture."

David Renshaw: The Guardian
