TV COMEDY WATCH: British comedy Whites available on Hulu

The 2010 BBC sitcom Whites is available as a Hulu exclusive, with new (to us) episodes coming every Wednesday. The comedy stars Alan Davies (executive chef of a fancy British hotel), Darren Boyd (the ambitious sous chef) and The IT Crowd's Katherine Parkinson (the restaurant manager). This somewhat dark comedy is probably too dry and slowbuilding to catch on over here as a web exclusive. But if you have the spare attention span, it's worth checking out. There are only a handful of characters so you don't have the learning curve of big ensembles like The Office. The dialogue is witty and usually realistic.

The first two episodes are currently on Hulu, with new ones being released every Wednesday. There are very few secondary characters, like Kiki (the impossibly unintelligent waitress) or Skous (the sous chef's eager assistant).
