The Hollowmen

2008 · 2 seasons

A dry, fast-talking workplace satire that makes political spin feel both absurd and uncomfortably familiar.

Tagline: Unafraid. Uncompromising. Unelected.
Overview: Set in the offices of the Central Policy Unit, a special think tank is set up by the Prime Minister to help him in his most important task - getting re-elected.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, light and absurd. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Politics, media, power, corruption
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
