I think this series works as a very bleak portrait of British society disguised as a lighthearted comedy.Anything to do with British comedy duo David Mitchell and Robert Webb (including Peep Show and That Mitchell and Webb Look). There are plenty of other examples of this. Also this more laid-back segment of the population is every bit as square as the other one at heart if need be: it is no coincidence that the ostensibly bisexual Jez reacts like a stereotypical straight male when he realizes Elena's SO is a female. and there is the other segment that lives in some sort of bohemian Arcadia, a carefree mental zone that is as fictitious as that of the other segment the reputation of British culture as a powerhouse for musical creativity is a reassuring assumption rather than an objective reality at this stage (the series goes to great lengths to show just how untalented Jez and Super Hans are at composing music, and unlike Sophie's cousin Barney who's a bit of an exception, they are supposed to be central characters here).There is one segment that is apparently meritocratic, diligent, hard-working and intellectually sound, but in reality is professionally stagnant, mediocre, frustrated and punches above its weight in its cultural aspirations, plus lives a fallacy that is very well known to Europeans like me living in the UK and is subtly hinted at here (most of the hard work, intellectually or otherwise, is done by Europeans, and many Brits graduating from UK universities end up in jobs that entail no challenge or real outcome whatsoever and get what in reality are illusions of a real job),.Much like "The thick of it" (albeit in a more general, less niched way and with a more apparently lighthearted approach) it is surprisingly honest, perhaps involuntarily, in portraying the UK as a deeply bleak, confused and unhappy place where there are two self-deluded mindsets that seem to be complementary at first: I think the ending works as an allegory of British society.
