Synopsis

Mark Corrigan and Jeremy 'Jez' Osborne are caught up in a familiar malaise; the two housemates are constantly at each other's throats as they struggle to find a direction in life. Jez has aspirations to become a musician, but his ambition stops outside his bedroom door. Meanwhile, Mark is stuck in an interminable office job, cursing the day he chose Business Studies over Ancient History. Throughout the series the pair find love--Mark with co-worker Sophie, and Jez with American hippy Nancy and later with his disarmingly posh ex 'Big Suze'--marry for a visa, propose by accident, get jilted, go to Mauritius, and return having learnt nothing at all. In fact it's the show's lack of 'lessons being learnt' and characters 'growing up and moving on' that makes it so refreshing.
Aside from strong lead performances by David Mitchell and Robert Webb and the finely honed script, the fact that viewers are able to hear the innermost thoughts of Mark and Jeremy as they encounter various problems makes their characters all the more vulnerable, sympathetic and often just plain pathetic. The result is a well-observed comedy for anyone who spends life at the mercy of their own hesitant thoughts. This collection includes the complete series one through six.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fuuny Look At Life, 4 Nov 2009
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Mark Corrigan (David Mitchell) works at JLB Credit, and likes history, and has a quite juvenile view on relationships with the opposite sex. This is not to say he's not successful, he manages to find a relationship with Soph (Olivia Coleman) and even get her to marry him.

Jez on the other hand (Robert Webb) is a lad, he likes to go out with women, play music and just fool around. He's a lot more relaxed than Mark, but still very childish, and has strange ideas about life and what he should be doing. He has no direction - which he finds difficult.

Other characters I like include Super Hans - a drug addict who loves making music and just hanging out with Jez; Jeff, a loveable Scouser who's always teasing Mark, and Dobbie, an IT geek who's also very likeable.

This is a great show - the spontaneous POV side of this show makes it funny and enjoyable, plus there are some really funny moments, like when Jez steals a bar of chocolate and has to break out of the store room; Mark's apprehension of a thief in the flat; the incident with Dobby in the store cupboard, and the one where they go to a Christian music festival are all great moments. I also enjoyed the episode where Jez has a great experience with two ladies - a nice caemo by Shelly Blond (from that silly quiz Crazy Drivers).

The extras are not bad either, there are deleted scenes for nearly all of the series, a look at behind the scenes are a scene where we get to hear Soph's mind, rather than Michell's. Some of the extras are pathetic though, like on series 6, the cartoon showing us how Peep Show is made was daft, and the horrible "If Peep Show Was Filmed In Front Of A Live Audience" is awful.

Yes, this show did have a low point towards the end, but this box set is worth getting, as it has every episode and most of them are really funny and worth watching again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true modern classic, 7 Nov 2009
By Mr. D. Young - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Surely most people reading this will be aware of the basic premise of peep show, but for the as-yet-uninitiated, a brief synopsis: Mark and Jeremy (David Mitchell and Robert Webb) are flatmates in suburban London. Mark is a reasonably successful executive in a finance company, Jez can be accurately described as a bum. The two of them have an oddly symbiotic relationship, with the massive character flaws in each of them strangely balanced out between them. Mitchell is quoted as saying that they both take comfort in the fact that they aren't the other. The series follow their exploits in a quirky style, with footage mainly shot from the perspective of the two characters, and a voiceover of the thoughts running through their heads adding another dimension to the comedy.
This unconventional style of filming is just one of the factors that makes Peep Show stand out from the crowd. The comedic talents of Mitchell and Webb are probably at their most sublime here, with spot-on timing and biting sarcasm seemingly second nature to both of them. The support characters are all unusually strong as well, with many cliches avoided and even minor characters contributing hilarious lines of dialogue (most noteworthy of all is Matt King as Superhans, Jez's bandmate, who is utterly sublime and ridiculous).
However, what really makes Peep Show is the writing. It goes without saying that good comedy needs a good script, but this is something else. The writers (Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain) clearly know Mitchell and Webb exceptionally well, and it's plain to see that Mark and Jez are massively grotesque versions of the actors that portray them. This, added to the razor sharp wit of all the contributors, means that the dialogue is always perfectly matched to the performers, and is also supremely well constructed.
In the hands of a less talented group of people, the idea of a POV sitcom with a voiceover of the characters' thoughts could have been carcrash television at its worst, but in the capable hands of Armstrong, Bain, Mitchell, Webb, and all the other contributors, the shooting style and voiceover ideas add new dimensions to the comedy. Beautifully crafted dialogue and plots follow in the rich vein of footlights comedy, with Blackadder an obvious influence. But Peep Show has a place of its own, as a modern take on these ideas, with cultural relevance and incicive wit. Somehow it has remained fresh (and even become more refined) since its inception, and long may it continue.
