Undertones of teenage perving, lightly alluded to, doesn't really make for controversy in my mind. Is it really that 'dark'? Perhaps I've just got an exceptionally thick skin or something.
I was half anticipating it being shit, actually, which would've validated the graveyard relegation, but so far it's quite sharply written.

I agree.
I think that the time slot has meant that the 'darkness' of the show is the thing that people are concenrating on. Obviously Julia Davis' track record is a factor in this as well.
But I also agree with TINH, it was very well written and very funny. And maybe it's a sign of the times that we can be so blasé when a comedy so well written comes along because we're fortunate enough to have so much comedy talent in this country (or is it just the same few people making all the decent comedy shows?).
