threemonkeysThe Smoking Room stole my weekend. Apart from a bit of essential domestic work and a trip to stuff myself silly at Yum Char, I basically spend the rest of my waking time watching both seasons.
If you don't know it, it is a British comedy where the (in)action is entirely set in one rather shabby room which is the smoking room of a firm of some sort. No special effects, no fights, no explosions, no twisting the "cringe" knife, no laugh track, no "loud is funnier", no celebrity cameos. Everything comes from the conversational interaction between the characters. It is very simple comedy and much the better for that.
