  • Nathan Barley (2005)
    Review preview for Nathan Barley

    Its first two episodes suffer from a lethargic lack of quality drama and comedy, but from episode three onwards, it digs its heels in and occasionally stuns with cleverly observed satire.

    TV sitcom that satirises celebrity media types and pretentious art.
