Seconded. This is an excerpt from a comment I made the other day about it:

If you like making fun of quiverfull ministries, programming, Eldritch horrors, British humor (humour?), spy thrillers, agitated engineers, vampires that don't exist, bloodthirsty elves, and a thinly veiled story about anthropomorphic climate change then this is the series for you.
