Louis-Dreyfus (of ''{{Seinfeld}}'' and ''TheNewAdventuresOfOldChristine'' fame). Developed by ArmandoIannucci, it is a long-awaited (five years!) [[TransAtlanticEquivalent American adaptation]] of ''Series/TheThickOfIt''. It keeps most of the biting satire of the original, and although the swearing level is about the same, it would appear that American politicians and staffers prefer sarcasm to straight-up bollocking.
