Todd Margaret is unqualified to sell anything, but that doesn't stop the part-time office temp from being tabbed to lead the London sales office of a new energy drink. (Unless the qualifications include being a compulsive liar, lacking any common sense and knowing nothing about British culture.) Todd's new boss, Brent, expects big results, if only to help subsidize his gambling habit and penchant for hiring prostitutes. Todd, however, has only one employee at his disposal, the mysteriously devious Dave, who takes advantage of Todd and often makes him appear foolish. Cafe owner Alice becomes the object of Todd's affection, and although she finds him annoying and unattractive, pity moves her to help him deal with the many jams he creates. The series is created, written by and stars David Cross ("Arrested Development") in the title role.

Critics Consensus
David Cross brings a bumbling charisma to this shaggy series, but viewers may find the chronicles of Todd Margaret's poor decisions to be too mean-spirited and scattershot to sustain their interest.

This TV comedy is a big surprise. It shocks viewers with its portrayal of some truly terrible people and serves up laughs at the same time.

"Todd Margaret" is all about its own ad-hoc lunacy, and yet it holds up as a pretty funny take on American corporate arrogance and as a symbol of the shift the workplace comedy has taken in recent years.

This is fun at first, but it becomes tiring to see him continually swatted down.

Yet as much as the channel likes to promote itself as having an "indie perspective," merely being offbeat isn't the same thing as being on target.

It's all exceedingly bizarre, which isn't necessarily the same as being funny.

Observer (UK)
It had a promising start... But events in London felt a touch understaffed, too loosely handled, too dependent on Todd's calamities.

There are genuinely funny moments within each episode. Unfortunately, these moments are surrounded by ridiculous situations and disgusting gags.
Rated: 3/5
