This is a scene for scene remake of the British IT Crowd Episode 1, only this one isn't funny.
Joel McHale comes off as a lazy, inept moron; and not the lazy, but capable IT guy Roy is supposed to be.
Jessica St. Clair is too pretty and comes off too dumb for the Jen role. She is supposed to be secretly computer illiterate, not a complete idiot.
Rocky Caroll checks the diversity box and doesn't bring much else.
It's as if these 2nd rate actors are playing the roles of the British 2nd rate actors playing the roles of the show characters in some weird made for TV biopic about the IT crowd.
Except of course for Richard Ayoade, who plays himself brilliantly.
