How to find episodes of the BBC comedy The Thick of It in the US

Where can I find episodes of the hilarious BBC comedy The Thick of It in the US?
In the Loop was easily my favorite movie of last year and when I learned it was based on a series, I just about shit myself. But, alas, Netflix doesn't know the show exists and Amazon has only a non-US version of just one season. I even tried employing some of the dark internet arts, but found them to be about as much use as a marzipan dildo.
So what am I to do? If I can't get my fix, I may just hop a plane and go work the British elections next month just so I can know what the hell Malcolm Tucker is talking about on his blog.

Apologies for what marzipan does to my apostrophe usage.

It is available online as the other commenters have said, but you might also enjoy Malcolm Tucker's guide to the UK elections from the Guardian.

Type the name of the show and the word series into YouTube's search bar.

Really? If so, marzipan dildos are amazingly effective.

eBay has a whole lot of Thick of It DVDs - you'll need a region-free DVD player to watch these, though, as they are Region 2 DVDs.
In extremis, consider Usenet + Binsearch.info.

Response by poster: The "dark" sites lined above had spotty coverage. I was hoping for full seasons. Same goes for the streaming sites. Wish I didn't have to go that route but, considering I don't have a region free DVD player I just might have to.
Special thanks to the two folks who MetaMailed me. I really appreciate it.
