What is The IT Crowd about?
The comedic misadventures of Roy, Moss, and their grifting supervisor Jen, a 'motley crew' of IT support workers at a large corporation headed by a hotheaded yuppie.
The IT Crowd (2006)
Three quirky IT support workers navigate corporate life with deadpan humor and absurd, whimsical antics.
Campy and absurdist, with dry wit. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Prime Video, The Roku Channel (free), Pluto TV (free) and Tubi (free).
