    The IT Crowd Finale

    Without spoiling it too much for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I thought it was really poor.

    Not funny (few moments but not many), tedious story and the characters just didn't seem "right". Such a shame as I really liked the series.

    Anyone else disappointed by it?

    Not quite, they aired a one-off finale on Friday night. It'll be on 4OD.

    Re: The IT Crowd Finale

    Yeah, it was pretty bad, though I wasn't expecting much - better than the way they wrapped up / continued /wrapped up Red Dwarf. A full series would have been nice - get the actors / characters / storyline back into full swing but that was always unlikely given that at least 2 of the key people involved have moved on significantly since the original run.

    treason.....

    It was 'ok', so exactly as I imagined it would be, just trying too hard. It would have been a 'meh' episode if it was in a series but as it was the final one ever it was a little disappointing.
    Everyone has such high hopes for finales (for any series) so it was never going to get roundly praised but I still enjoyed it.

    Re: The IT Crowd Finale

    Must admit, I didn't feel that finale either. Seemed really forced, even the old joke of the "internet" fell flat for me. Was OK to watch but it seemed to miss a lot of what made the first 3 seasons great.

    Re: The IT Crowd Finale

    It seemed to me a little forced aswell tbh. There were some funny moments and it was ok. But i think mabee they shouldn't have gone back over some of the old gags.

    Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about it. To me it seemed like just another episode, I didn't dislike it but it didn't feel good enough for a one off.

    I enjoyed it, but people are right, it didn't really feel like a finale in any way, apart from it being longer.
