Jim and Rhonda being middle men for the government is the reason why they’re fantastic characters

“Middle men” is an exclusionary, offensive, patriarchal turn of phrase. Very problematic. /s

Not really, they’re middle management, ergo.... middle men

The dialog writing is razor sharp! :D Tony: "What part of that is hypothetical?", Jim: "The confident bit" :D :D pure gold!!

Great stuff! Tony’s level of patience is only exceeded by his level of honesty.

Not to forget: Rhonda's level of admin cluelessness is rich fodder for Tony's close encounter with his first HEART ATTACK, assuming he hasn't had several silent strokes prior to this! ❤😅

This may be the most underrated comedy I've ever witnessed. Also its nice to know as an American, my countrys not the only one full of goofball policy makers lol

Out of curiosity, how are you watching it in the USA? I'm so surprised that a TV show from here is being watched overseas. And yes, this is exactly what Australian government departments are like. I work for one... sigh.

Yes, if it's any reassurance, our government here, at all levels (fed, state, local), is full of incompetence, idiocy, stupid ideas and lots of announcements but nothing ever happening due to faffing about is something that both our great countries share. ❤

@@continental_drift I saw a Canadian guy mention it (he has a channel on public transport planning that I follow) and talk about how much he enjoys it. It might be on a streaming service available outside of Australia.

This series feels like an Australian spiritual successor to yes minister. It's absolutely brilliant.

Tony has the vibe of The Last Sane Man in Town.. 😂

What part of that is hypothetical? The confident bit 😂

When the fake ad came on, I thought it was a real ad.

Going to have to watch this now. I’ve watched 5 clips in a row and they’ve all had me grinning from ear to ear. 😂

Gold. And basically factual recreation of real events

I fr can’t stop watching this 😂

Thank you God. Rhonda is still in the team. Rhonda... you are AWESOME LOVE the 3 of you🎉

Guys, it's not fair to be teased with this show all-around if it's not available in my country

This is hilarious. It's the perfect mix of The Office and Yes Minister.

So so so so good!!

😂 Jim "the confident" 3:12

As a Yank, I have to say this show is friggin' brilliant. The Office meets Parks & Recs but better & smarter. I absolutely have to watch this show. This is the best I've seen on screen in years. I love it. Absolutely love it. ...sorry about Trump. The Feckless left did the best we could.

Oh fuck off, he was the one president who did the most to cut through this type of government bullshit. He is the best president we've had in decades!

I get a few laughs from this show, but my overwhelming feeling (after the cringe has passed) -- is that it's soooooo depressing ... to know that outside of the satire, bureaucracies truly ard this horrible and corrupt (excepting Tony and Nat).

Wonderful

Every government ad should include the licinda handwriting font.

I’m from Canada, and I just discovered this show (before you ask, it just appeared because I was watching some Australian content) Let me just say, I was sad after The Office ended, and Steve said they won’t be coming back to do another season. And this show, Utopia satisfies my wish. I am glad this show exists. And I love Tony & Nat!!!

We should have a show like that in Canada 😂😂

We have found out 😂😂😂😢... Time to be clear and decisive.

Too real, But Funny. Thank you.

New fave show... Veep meats The office!!

anyone who has worked in a corporation (business, hospital, etc.) can relate to one or many of the slapstick truths that occur rapid fire in this absolutely humorous series. Sure, some of the themes are repetitive, but they hammer home how worthwhile ventures and constructive endeavors can be bogged down by the cancer of policy, procedure, policing, and politics. A+++

Duress alarm!

It’s Helen Tudor-Fisk!

Namaste 😎

Rob and Kitty ❤❤

I think everybody in the English speaking world knows what a fucken fart is mate. It's not Aussie slang. It's from old English. It's probably about 1000 years old as word go.

@captain-poppleton

26 күн бұрын

Old English (recorded in the verbal noun feorting ‘farting’) of Germanic origin; related to German farzen, furzen .

This is so depressing. I’m afraid it’s a documentary rather than satire. It reminds me of Veep.

I hate Rhonda... I love the range of Kitty Flanagan! Meryl should be taking notes!

And I thought that these were real people working for a real government? Seriously, I would love to be a fly on the wall when the private sector and government policy makers meet. As for our education, what education? No browny points here. Great send up. Thanks.

If anyone in Govt continues to operate like this, sack them.

Falling behind another country isn’t xenophobic. It’s recognition that you are in a competition and you need to improve yourself.

It is xenophobia if the country you are falling behind is one full of people "not like you" and that your politicans are currently ginning up as a big scary threat - ie currently China. It will be someone else another day.
