Quality Entertainment - By: chuckles, 22 Oct 2008 
I have been living in Holland for the past 7 years, so if it's not on BBC I miss it. For this reason my first encounter with these guys was the Mitchell & Webb look, liked that so thought I would give this a go. Was not dissappointed, very funny, very different.... just like extreme versions of people you may well know.... good angle on the comedy as you get to hear what's going on in their heads & not just what comes out of their mouths.... very funny indeed
An absolute, dark joy - By: Chris Palmer, 18 Jul 2008 Simply some of the best comedy writing of the last ten years. I think this is the only sitcom DVD I've ever watched more than once - I've watched this again & again.
Can't recommend highly enough!
British cult comedy at it's best. - By: SarahR, 20 Feb 2008 I cannot believe that Peep Show was around for four years before I started watching it. It has frequently been acknowledged as one of the most 'quotable' tv shows around, & that is no word of a lie.
The thing that I love the most about Peep Show, besides its brilliant lines, is the fact that it is so British. No cheese, no glamour, no cliches; it is simply the inner workings of 2 very ordinary young guy's minds.
Sensible Mark (a fifty something year old trapped inside a twenty something year old's body)lives with Jez, an aspiring musician with little talent or drive in life to do anything (except get laid & get wasted, of course!) Series One sees Mark & Jez get themselves into ridiculous situations, such as sleeping with a teenage goth, having a first date at a funeral, sending love interests 'nazi love' post-it notes & Mark having a brief sexuality crisis over his admiration for his boss, Johnson.
These utterly dysfunctional characters are humourous & incredibly likable. Their ridiculous quotes & lines are hilarious in that they actuallly accurately mirror our own thought processes - generallly those things we decide should never be said aloud.
Peep Show is original, hilarious, & very politicallly incorrect. I would recommend it to anyone with a decent sense of humour.
The best comedy around - By: Anyd, 25 Jun 2007 This is the series that started it alll. This show swept up so many awards & had me in stitches every week. The characters are so realistic & outrageous. There are lots of fun extras on the DVD. Buy it now, it's definately worth it.
class - By: sean paul mccann, 08 May 2007 season one of peep show is a case for brilliance in so many ways,its a show that uses inner monolouge in a way that american show scrubs does but extends on it further,delving deeper inside the human psyche,the show has lots of point of view shots which alllows us into the characters head both through what they see & of course what they reallly think which isnt made obvious by the spoken words that they say,the truth is usuallly found in what they think.
The show centres around two flatmates,mark who is the more sensible one of the two,well i use the term loosely,he has however got the job that pays the bills & the rent & seems to be a dependable man,but his thoughts & actions at times betray that notion,jeremy on the other hand has no job,dreams of making it as a musician but is lousy at that & waits around for mark to get home from work & talk to him.
Around that lie various other characters who blend in & out of the series & alll add to it,the show is laugh out loud funny & is worthy of high praise indeed,i will be getting series two soon & have high expectations on that already.
