Clunes' Doc Martin is a curmudgeon, but he at least has some redeeming features and a possible underlying autistic spectrum disorder to excuse some of his behaviour. Warren has no such excuses, the character is an extremely unlikeable person that makes you cringe to the point of revulsion.
Within minutes I disliked the character and by the end I decided I couldn't bear to suffer a second episode, it was that bad. The cast do a decent job with their parts and Clunes' plays the role well... he must, as I usually like him and wanted him to be the victim of a terrible car crash in this, which in my opinion is the metaphor I would use for the show.
I imagine the scriptwriters have imagined a David Brent like character, and if you were a fan of The Office, then Warren's cringeworthy bad behaviour and the consequences that result from this may suit your sense of humour. If you didn't like The Office, I think you'll hate this. I did!
