Wow! I have seen Mythomane right before Sick Note. Same overall idea. That is supposed to be a drama. This is a comedy. That is badly written and trips on its own subplots. This is excellent writing.

Sure, there are some huge gaping holes in the script. If the American is dead in the office, the alarm should have been deactivated. Yet it is not only activated, but someone trips the alarm. Some ghost, as there is no trace of them or their intention.

Anyway, the script is good. The acting is surprisingly good given the cast is made out of second rate actors. And the episodes cheep chaining well: it does not feel like a two season series, even with some lags in the second season.
