Great op, thank you. I'm still confused about whether I like this show or not, based on whether or not it's the show I wanted it to be vs what it is, which is on me.

Part of that is, I think, because the characters in The Thick of It, and Veep were, in my mind, vaguely nominally competent and there for a reason, even Malcolm is at his heart an idealist. If literally everyone except for Billie (maybe Rav?) is a buffoon it's a different show than what I'm used to from Ianucci. Again, that's on me to get past.

That's fair - that could definitely all be future society, with just enough relatable realness poking through like the captain's marital woes.

Ok I'm fully on board after the last one, everything landed for me. Maybe it was played broader? Trying not to overthink it.

It was kinda weird that the lawyer just wandered below decks to serve the divorce papers, after they'd made such a big deal about keeping it all hidden.

Sorry to dredge up a somewhat old post, but holy poo poo, Malcolm is absolutely not an idealist in his heart. I don’t think you understood that programme.

I'm sure there's a late episode where Malcolm has a relatively quiet moment and explains that everything he does is because he absolutely believes in the labour party and what it should be doing. It's a tell vs show moment but it's more than Jamie or the Fucker (who may very well just be in it for the violence) get.

Why does Clark need to pilot the ship into dock again? Apart from it being a good thing for captains to be able to do.
