A pointed, snarky, rapid-fire comedy that's set within a series of prestigious government offices. With a dry British wit taking center stage, the loose backing plot is resigned to second fiddle until the third act. When the writing is this sharp and effective, though, that's perfectly fine by me. The meat of this story may be focused on the assistants and pages responsible for madly sprinting around the office on a whim, handling the brunt of a politician’s daily heavy lifting, but the sharpest satire is reserved for their bosses, the senators and secretaries who are more interested in photo ops and talking points than effecting any real change. A fast-paced, intelligent, blazing comedy with some ridiculously great one-liners, it wouldn't be nearly as funny if it weren't so sadly, bitterly true.
