Reggie Perrin

2009–2010 · 2 seasons

A dry, quietly desperate sitcom that finds bleak humour in the daily grind and one man's escapist fantasies.

Overview: Midlevel corporate drone Reggie Perrin—although secure in his marriage, with a paid-for house, no children, a car and a comfortable living, he is dissatisfied with the grind of modern living, such as his daily, often overcrowded train commute—undergoes a mid-life crisis, keeping himself entertained by fantasies.
How it feels: Dark, satirical, melancholic and absurd. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, work, isolation, obsession
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
