Charlie Brooker (Black Mirror, Dead Set) and Chris Morris (The IT Crowd, Brass Eye) wrote this six-part sitcom focusing on "the rise of the idiots" who sit at the intersection of technology, fashion, and media. While this series was produced in 2005, you know these kinds of idiots today as the hipsters who try to mow you down while riding their Lime scooters on crowded sidewalks. It seems that every age has its quota of idiots.

The show stars Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh) and features Richard Ayowade (The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh), Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh), and includes a small role for then-unknown Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Doctor Strange).

This is funny, dark stuff. Exactly what you'd expect from the minds of Brooker & Morris.
