Essentially, a take on The Odd Couple, Peep Show revolves around the lives of Mark Corrigan and Jeremy Osbourne; two twenty-somethings who share a flat.

Mark works in an office and has a bleak outlook on life; he's infatuated with his colleague, Sophie Chapman. Jeremy, in contrast, is a lazy, shallow man trying to make it in the music industry.

A unique twist that immediately sets the show apart form other sitcoms is the use of the first person view point [the original show title was POV], where we get to see from the characters own eyes. We also get to hear internal thoughts and opinions which reveals things they wouldn't say out loud.less «

• Who is 'God' (The Painter on TV)?

  I remember seeing this guy painting landscapes and whatnot years ago, anyone know what his show is called? In the show they refer to him as "God" and he's seen on the telly at their flat a few times.

  8.5 Great

  Best British Comedy of the decade hide « show »

  Peep Show follows the often sexually-frustrated lives of two men in their late twenties, Mark (Mitchell) and Jeremy (Webb). Having met while at the fictional Dartmouth University together (they occasionally refer to themselves as 'The El Dude Brothers' in reference to their student days), they now share a flat in Croydon, south London.
  Mark is a loan manager and the more financially successful of the two, but is extremely uncomfortable socially and pessimistic about nearly everything. Jeremy, who at the start of the first episode has recently split up with his girlfriend 'Big Suze', now rents Mark's spare room. He usually has a much more optimistic and energetic outlook on the world than Mark, yet his talent as a musician is yet to be recognised, and he is not as socially popular or sexually attractive as he would like to think.
  this is a great modern british comedy but i think its about time they stop the show soon after the fifth series it is just too much, I do love this show though it has some great characters.

  9.5 Superb

  Great take on the good old odd couple formula. hide « show »

  Peep Show is completely unique in the way that it is filmed. I like the fact that it is shot POV as it makes the audience more involved with the characters. Also, hearing what is going on inside the character's heads expands them. Sometimes the funniest lines come when it is the thoughts that we are hearing rather than actual spoken words. Mark and Jeremy work really well together in that they are completely different, yet obviously care about each other and get on really well. The fact that Mitchell and Webb play them really helps as we get to see genuine chemistry which is not something which happens normally.
  Peep Show is laugh-out-loud funny as well as sometimes playing on emotional themes, before making you laugh all over again!
  Love it!

  9.6 Superb

  Pure dead Brilliant hide « show »

  Peep Show is a hilarious comedy about two social misfits sharing a flat in what appears to be a council estate (that's British for the projects.) Mark is a nebbishy bean counter bean working in the financial industry. Jez is his ne'r-do-well flatmate. They met in college, where they unilaterally dubbed themselves the "El Dude Brothers." The writing on the show is witty beyond anything to be found on American television. It's also a lot more daring than all except HBO and Showtime productions. For instance, in one episode Jez realizes that he has done something bad while in a drug induced stupor. He spends the entire show believing that one after another of the awful insensitive things that he is typically given to doing is the bad thing. Only at the end does he realize that the "bad thing" is and he swapped blowjobs with his even more transgressive friend, Super Hans. A guy calling himself Super Hans is reason enough to watch the show in and of itself.

  9.7 Superb

  Very unique and funny. hide « show »

  This show follows Mark and Jez, two young men living in London. Its quirky and requires a certain taste. Very english. Season 4 was hard to follow, as it was very outrageous. so far seaon 5 has lived up to it and i how this will continue. Mark is possibly one of the funnest most awkward characters that has graced our screens. Jez is equally funny, however is slightly more cool, (as he likes to think). He is constantly annoying Mark and is not the ideal house mate. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you enjoy the show.

  9.3 Superb

  We follow, very intimately, the lives of two late-twenty-somethings, battling the ups and downs of early working (and social) life. Hilarious, completely unpredictable writing, always leaves you waiting in suspense for the next twist. hide « show »

  This show is such a breath of fresh air. Amazing, typically British humour - with a few cringe-worthy situations forced between the laughter. Its as close to real-life as you could get, but zealously mad in the same instance. Don't be offended by the language or the crude references to sex and drugs. The lead characters are both intensely refreshing, and deeply complicated at the same time; yet you feel you can relate them personally. The ideal suggestion is to get comfortable and watch a whole season in one go, because it is almost torture to have to wait a week inbetween episodes! Peep Show does cater for a specific sense of humour, so if you don't get it, you will hate it. Ideal for 18 - 35 year olds ;).
