As an American, I've never heard of any of these actors before but every one is drop dead funny. Top notch writing and characters, just a delightful show. If you liked The Office (British or American version) or deadpan but heartfelt and heightened humor like Flight of the Conchords, you'll like this.
Fast paced with enough mysteries (why did Roz get suspended?) sprinkled in to keep you listening closely even as the jokes come flying in. The best part is how creator/writer/star Flanagan gives Helen unexpected depths so she isn't just obnoxious or curmudgeonly or down on her luck--she learns and changes and adjusts to different people, all of which is a joy to watch.
