One of my all-time favorite TV shows, "The Thick of It," is finally coming to the States in a gleefully foulmouthed unexpurgated form, both on DVD (buy it here -- seriously -- the subtitles alone are worth the price of admission) and on Hulu. Here's the Hulu trailer. Remember, you've been warned.



"The Thick of It" was created by Armando Iannucci, the guy behind HBO's hilarious (but not quite as hilarious) "Veep" and the movie "In The Loop," which includes many of the actors and a few of the characters from "The Thick of It." Chief among those characters is Malcolm Tucker, chief enforcer of the Prime Minister, played with profane relish by Peter Capaldi. (That's him jokingly proposing a "swear jar" at the end of the preview. Once you get to know Malcolm, you'll realize just how big a joke that it.)

The fourth series (as they say in Great Britain) is in production now and is slated to arrive before the year is out. I can't wait to see what happens, and if you follow my advice and watch the series thus far, I'll bet you won't be able to either.)
