DVD Description
Peep Show features Mark (David Mitchell) and Jeremy (Robert Webb), two flat-mates living in south London. Mark is a credit manager and the more financially successful of the two, often pessimistic about life and anything to do with Jeremy’s next big ‘idea’. Jeremy rents Mark's spare room and usually has a much more optimistic and energetic outlook on the world than Mark. His self-proclaimed talent as a musician is yet to be recognised, and he is seen as a lazy waster with dodgy friends and not as popular or attractive as he would like to think himself.
In series 6 Mark and Jeremy are still sharing a flat in post-credit crunch Croydon while there is a whiff of desperation surrounding them. Having discovered that Sophie (Olivia Colman) is pregnant they have to face up to the possibility that either one of them might be a father. How will this effect Mark’s pursuit of Dobby (Isy Suttie)? And will it help or hinder Jeremy as he falls for his dream woman, dope-dealing-musician-activist Elena (Vera Filatova)?
Extras on the DVD include an exclusive behind the scenes glimpses from those involved in Peep Show and cast interviews. The must see for any fans of the series, an animation feature on ‘how Peep show is made’ and deleted scenes from series 6.

This review is from: Peep Show Series 6 [DVD] (DVD)
Series 5 saw a bit of a dip in quality in my view. I thought that maybe the format was tired or perhaps the apparent conclusion of the Mark and Sophie relationship signalled the end. Thankfully, series 6 has blown the cobwebs to smithereens in three ways:
Firstly, they've remembered what brought series 2 and 3 alive - new principal characters, in particular Elena, the friendly neighbourhood drug dealing bisexual Russian brings a whole new dynamic to the show, bewitching both Jeremy and the viewer. Secondly, whilst the Mark-Jez relationship remains firmly stuck in first-day-at-infant school gear, many of the individual characters are allowed to break free of previous conventions and rules: With JLB blowing up, Mark flirts with what he might be, instead of railing against what he has become; Johnson's manic drive finally spills over into something a little darker, and even Jez plays against type by occasionally caring for others' feelings after sweetly falling in love. Finally, the jokes are relentless. Sight gags, set-up and pay-off gags, embarrassment and recognition stuff - this we kind of take for granted. But the use of language - and in particular the A level command of swearing - is just on a different level here to previous offerings. The series sparkles with the sense of writers and performers really enjoying themselves. I love that the main supporting characters (Sophie, Dobbie, Big Suze, Superhans, Johnson) appear only intermittently - and only then where a major plot development justifies their involvement - series 5 seemed overburdened by a need to update us on Sophie's decline for instance. In summary, a fantastic series, some great performances and still the most true-to-life realisation of the horrible awkwardness of what it's like to have to pretend to be a grown-up.

always worth a peep,

This review is from: Peep Show Series 6 [DVD] (DVD)
I am a big fan of peep show, i love the scenarios, the way it is written , the format of the show and pretty much all the characters.
With each series i have found plenty to admire, my fave series is probably series 2 and i found some weaknesses in series 5 if im honest but i was still looking forward to this series after the cliffhanger finish of series 5. Series 6 isnt pure gold if im honest but the show seems to allow more characters to change and develop more than ever before, we see a darker, more sinister look at johnson, superhands seems a little more level headed in places , jeremy shows some compassion and understanding as he finally says to himself that he is in love and mark is a ticking timebomb as he struggles to deal with life. The use of some of the new characters is key here and while i didnt laugh the house down i was forever entertained. The funniest parts of the show are probably still the inner monolouges as reality is served up in the thoughts. I am pleased that there is a series 7 and await it eagerly.

Peep show series 6,
By CS (Sydney) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peep Show Series 6 [DVD] (DVD)
Mitchell and Webb have not let me down with this series. I think it is possibly funnier than the other ones, there are more one liners and all the great characters are there. Johnson is as you've never seen him before and Mark is a little more confident perhaps - and Jez is just Jez.
If you haven't seen the prior series - buy them all.
