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. ❤

Gold. And basically factual recreation of real events

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

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

😂 Jim "the confident" 3:12

So so so so good!!

Every government ad should include the licinda handwriting font.

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

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!!!

This is like 'the Thick of It" without the swearing

We should have a show like that in Canada 😂😂

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+++

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.

They interviewed real public servants to ask them for examples of the kind of things they deal with and what goes on in a govt department. They will never run out of material.

I'm pretty sure Tony is going to kill one of them or both by the end of the series.

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

Ай 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.

Does Kitty Flanagan wear a wig? Or spend hours straightening her hair? I'm curious every time I see her as Rhonda

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.
