You may be referring to The IT Crowd, a classic. They got a lot of things 
right, from Roy's Mantra ("Hello, IT, have you tried turning it off and on 
again?") to the set dressing of the IT office (looked almost exactly like 
the "batcave" at a previous employer) and the relationship manager who 
doesn't know computers - at all.

The guy who did Black Mirror did a show in the mid 2000s called "Nathan 
Barley" that's a nice parody of the current internet and influencer culture 
- done in the early 2000s. Reminds me of San Francisco during the first dot- 
com bubble.
