I actually gave up after the first episode. A couple of months later I decided to keep watching since so many people are raving about this show.
I can't say I particularly enjoyed the first season. Then enter Matt Berry as Douglas Reynholm in the second season. Boy am I glad I kept watching. The overall quality of the scripts increased with time. The show itself isn't much more than OK, but the scenes with Matt Berry elevates it to a whole other level. He steals every scene that he's in. I can't remember seeing him in anything before or after this, but what a fantastic performance he delivers in The IT Crowd.
