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

Advantages: Daring, innovative
Disadvantages: The initial setup sounds too familiar

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Great humour. Seriously witty and funny
Disadvantages: I honestly can't think of any. Honestly and Im usually a cynic

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: hilarious, great acting and directing
Disadvantages: strong language so unsuitable for minors

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 ... Read review

Advantages: watchable characters, exciting storylines
Disadvantages: slightly repetetive theme

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Beautifully funny and clever with brilliant characters
Disadvantages: Repetitive storylines? Dark humour at times

...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 ... Read review
