The cable network’s latest six-episode series, “The Thick of It,” premiered two weeks ago and is the political equivalent of the original BBC-produced “The Office.” The story focuses on a British government minister and his unreliable team of assistants as they strive to implement new policies and stay clear of the headlines. The humor may not always hit with American audiences, but the biting satire is universal.
