Saxondale

2006–2007 · 2 seasons

A wry, low-stakes sitcom that coasts on a grumpy ex-rock casualty's rants and small suburban humiliations.

Overview: Steve Coogan plays Tommy Saxondale: an ex-roadie with anger management issues and a pest-control business. Tommy is a little arrogant, a little egotistical and feels the world owes him more respect than it typically shows him. He has an assistant named Raymond who lives in a spare room in Tommy's house, a live-in girlfriend named Magz who owns a T-shirt business, and a receptionist named Vicky who has a tendency to drive him up the wall.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, light and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, aging, work, family
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
