Debuts on the Comedy Channel on Monday week.

Apparently it's an 6-episode satirical comedy/drama based in the offices of a struggling ad agency and comes from Andrew Denton's production company.

The cast is pretty impressive (although very Underbelly-ish) with Stephen Curry, Kat Stewart, Gyton Grantley and Peter O'Brien.

Interestingly, it's written by three ad execs from TDM and S&S who have very limited experience in series television production (although both Justin Drake and Tim Bullock have written and produced excellent short films in the past).

I'm really curious to see what it's like, especially with Denton putting the polish on it.

Underbelly actor's are EVERYWHERE right now, so it's no surprise to see them in this.

I'll be IQing the show and watching it sometime after they've shown.

Hope it works as Stephen Curry is a funny bugger but hasn't really ever transferred that to a good show.

Has Peter O'Brien just stepped off the set of a remake of The Sullivans ?

I watched that hour of mediocre television until I got to Carl Barron Live. The bloke is a deadset genius, I'd forgotten how funny he is.

I pretty much agree.

I'll give it another go next week.
