This British comedy series involves the lifes of Jez (Robert Webb), a wannabe music artist who's either trying to hit it big or trying to score with various women, and Mark (David Mitchell), an account who's main goal is to woo the woman of his dreams whom he works with.
I found this comedy hilarious, especially between the contrast of the two main characters but also the supporting characters help make the show. Watch out for Jez's band mate "Super Hans", a drug addict (apparently Crack is a bit moreish!) who always has ideas for the band and for general success even if it seems far off. For me this character steals the show as you never know what he's going to do.
An excellent idea for the show is that it is in the point of view (POV) of the characters or passers-by which gives the viewer a chance to hear the thoughts of Mark or Jez, hence the title "Peep Show"
Unfortunately each series is a bit short, with only 6 episodes each however it provides a great laugh for those who like the comedy style of this funny double act.
Season 1 - Jeremy tries to become successful with his band and to sleep with his neighbour while Mark tries to woo his work mate Sophie.
Season 2 - Mark has to fight for Sophie's affections when a collegue starts dating her. Meanwhile Jeremy meets Nancy, who will try anything to break the taboos of the world with him, which leads to Jez marrying her so she can get a visa (the greatest administrative procedure of his life).
Season 3 - Mark and Sophie are now a couple however they have to live in seperate cities for work which leaves Mark stressed meanwhile Jeremy's ex - "Big Suze" - comes back into his life which leaves Jez with the task of getting back together with her.
A brilliant show allround.
