Nathan Barley is a Channel 4 sitcom written by Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris, starring Nicholas Burns, Julian Barratt, Charlie Condou and Claire Keelan. The series of six weekly episodes began broadcasting on 11 February 2005 on Channel 4. Described by his creator as a "meaningless strutting cadaver-in-waiting", the character originated on Brooker's TVGoHome – a website parodying television listings – as the focus of a fly-on-the-wall documentary called Cunt.

Nathan Barley
one of the more interesting shows dealing with hipsters and the rise of new media culture in the mid 2000s. starts off as a regular sitcom more or less with some biting satire and then out of nowhere Chris Morris' pitch-black humour will come out of nowhere for like one joke an episode and return to normal (see: the haircut scene)
worth a watch as it's only 2 1/2 hours long
