Peep Show - Series 1-3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

WHAT IS IT ABOUT: Peep Show is a Britsh comedy sit-comn that focuses on two flat-mates, Mark and Jez, whose completely different lifestyles don't stop both of them getting into a series of bizarre and ridiculous situations. SERIES 1: Series one basically focuses on both men trying to sleep with Toni, the next door neighbour, but also sets the foundation for Mark's infatuation with Sophie, a focus of many future series. There are six episodes on the ...
...A word of warning: don't bother with the Mitchell and Webb Show. Despite starring Mark and Jez, it's a waste of time. This shows how Peep Show has done so well because the actors didn't write it, and when they were let loose with a pen the results were terrible. ...

Review of Peep Show - Series 1-3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

I recently bought this boxset on the strength of watching "That Mitchell and Webb Look" on BBC 2. I'd good things about it, but that wasn't really much to go on since I'd heard loads of "good things" about "The Catherine Tate Show". I'm currently suing the BBC under the trades' descriptions act for billing that as a "comedy" show. Now, whilst "That Mitchell and Webb Look" was scripted by David Mitchell and Robert Webb, "Peep Show" was scripted by ...
...set alarms bells ring in my head as I thought maybe of the material in "Look" which made it funny would not be present in "Peep Show" as there are different scriptwriters. However my fears were allayed. But more of that later. David Mitchell and Robert Webb were members of the famous "Footlights College" comedy troupe. Former members, include Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Ben Elton. A mark of the comedy pedigree of Mitchell and Webb. These people ...

Review of Peep Show - Series 1-3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Peep Show - Series 1-3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Peep Show is a truly modern comedy, it follows a format that has not been seen before and that by itself makes it a revolution. The plot is that two former university friends are living in a flat together. Doesn't sound too inthralling at first and to make it slightly worse, they are a bit of an odd couple. Mark (David Mitchell) is an uptight, office worker, he has a true love for history and is consumed by a love for someone he works with. Jeremy ...
...sectioned. Compared to other comedies out there this is one of the most original. Sam Bain's and Jesse Armstrong's scripts are fantastic and hopefully we will see more of Peep Show in the future. I would seriously recommend this if you are not affraid to try out new comedy. ...

Review of Peep Show - Series 1-3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

...a couple of episodes of Peep Show before so was completely unprepared for the whirlwind of sheer comic genius that would ensue. Mark and Jeremy are flatmates. Jeremy is the trendy guy who epitimises pop culture stupidity and Mark is a 60 year old grump in a twenty something year olds body. It basically follows their exploits and mainly Mark's wooing of Sophie is work colleague. The thing that sets this comedy apart, is the thought dialogue. It is ...
...good at working in references to popular culture and politics. Mark also makes loads of references to the Second World War. This comedy is for anyone. It's got a lot of adult humour though so dont watch it with your mum. The DVDs have quite a few nice individual stand apart scenes which are great, plus a load of deleted scenes that have obvioulsy been deleted due to time limits and not due to their quality. ...

Review of Peep Show - Series 1-3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

What a series and great value for money to get the box set, it is quite possibly the funniest comedy series i have ever watched, no exaggeration, the acting of characters Jeremy and Mark is excellent and both had me in stiches. Mark is just so socially backward its great to watch and laugh at. Jeremy is just such a loser as well and a sleaze but he does have a likable side to him. I would recommend this to anyone over the 18 years of years certificate ...
...british comedy cause it quite simply is British comedy at its extreme best. Anyone who is in to comedy like Little Britain, Father Ted, The Royle Family, Mock the Week etc will love this like i did. Hope you all read this review and buy the dvd box set it will not let you down. ...

Review of Peep Show - Series 1-3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

The basic idea of peep show is that it is entirely filmed from a 1st person point of view. This switches between the 2 main characters, and the viewer also gets to hear what the person is thinking. Both the characters are young (ish) male flatmates. One an uptight business man, the other a slacker musician - let the fun begin! The whole idea of hearing their thoughts as they interact works well as both are very confused individuals - however it ...
...predict their reactions...the thing that keeps it alive is the fast changing storyline. Personally I think this is the best thing about the show... the stories seem to be so turbulant that nothing is steady other than the characters - who are very confused!!! The cast, especially the support are great and I recommend this to all fans of decent British humour. ...

Review of Peep Show - Series 1-3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

...never seen an episode or Peep Show before in my life, I was simply going on the huge wave of hype this show has been riding in recent years. But I couldn't be more happy with this buy. It deals with two very different, but equally socially stunted, flatmates. Mark Corrigan is a working stiff, paper pushing for JLB credit under the supervision of nutty boss Alan Johnson. When he'snot obsessing about history, he's hopelessly drooling over workmate ...
...the rather dark comedy that Peep Show incorporates. You'll see what I mean as we have a look at the episode 'Shrooming' from SERIES 3 Mark is away at a conference for his company JLB credit, so his flatmate Jez sees this as an ideal opportunity to organise a magic mushroom party in the flat in his absence, in the hope of winning the attentions of ex-girlfriend 'Big Suze'. His plan is 'to get her really really high and try and put my hand up her ...
