Comedy set in the social services department of a local authority. Social workers Rose and Al swim against the tide of bureaucracy, deal with the absurdities of life and try to navigate their equally trying professional and personal lives.

《要命第一季》是一部积极向上的作品，设计很有突破，特效逼真，画风清晰可见，该剧刻画了5个家庭和10余个主要人物，人物戏份平均，谁都不是绝对主角；情感浓度也很均匀，谁也不是人生输赢家。
