Created by Armando Iannucci (Veep), this hilarious satire offers a glimpse into the inner-workings of British government. Outside of the spin-doctoring, backstabbing, ministerial cock-up, coalition rows, backroom deals, and policy U-turns, its a model of efficiency. Featuring an ensemble of the best British comic actors like Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), he series is justly seen as a modern classic.
