The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is a weird little British show developed jointly with IFC starring
that guy from Arrested Development with
that other guy from Arrested Development. It's about a bumbling nice guy who "accidentally" gets a job distributing a (possibly toxic and/or radioactive) Korean energy drink. Wacky hijinks ensue. The show starts in media res with Todd on trial for a litany of crimes, including terrorism, kiddie porn, and other horrible things. Ove the six episodes that follow, we see just how a ridiculous series of increasingly poor decisions led to that predicament. It's well written and acted, funny often, and stupid almost as often. It wants to be Arrested Development, but it needs a more convincing straight man and to take itself much more seriously. That being said, it's funny enough. A solid
B.
