PLOT SUMMARY
A comedy sketch show
that made use of experimental visual techniques and made
use of deliberately obscure and challenging material.
CAPSULE REVIEW
A brave,
confrontational, infuriating, brilliant and unfathomable series from the warped imagination of Chris Morris.
Primarily attacking the medical profession, the show
frequently featured sketches that not so much pushed the
envelope of good taste as tore it to shreds. It didn't
always work, but then works of genius are often prone to
such failings. Whatever you may feel about Jam - and
given some of the material, reactions are likely to be
extreme - you'll likely agree that there's never been
anything else quite like it.
