Peep Show
Peep Show is the first sit com starring the UK comedy duo Mitchell and Webb. The series just wrapped up its 7th season with two more confirmed. The show portrays the pair in a typical odd couple setting. Mark Corrigan (David Mitchell) is an uptight business man and Jeremy Usbourne (Robert Webb) is a hedonistic musician that is unemployed throughout most of the series. The clever use of POV shots and constant use of the characters inner monologue add a remarkable twist to a classic situation.
This show is relatively fast paced and has few dull moments. Mark and Jeremy are always finding themselves in awkward situations and leaving them in a brilliantly absurd way. From awkward dinner conversation to breaking and entering the couple are always getting in over their head as a result of their near constant disputes. Each season has an arching narrative that develops a variety of hilarious supporting characters and further evolves the bizarre chemistry that keeps these two men close to each other despite their conspicuous differences.
Mitchell and Webb have a reputation for being brilliant comedy writers. Their sketch shows have gained wide appraisal in the UK and a growing cult following in The United States. Peep show proves the versatility of their work. This series is surprisingly sharp and vividly foolish.
Absolutely love this show. Nice descriptions
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job providing background information on the show and the actors. I think your conclusion could've been a little stronger but nice job overall.
