 Did anyone ever catch this hilarious show? It's currently on Netflix Instant. From Wiki: "Peep Show follows the lives of two men from their twenties to thirties. Mark Corrigan (Mitchell), who has steady employment for most of the series, and Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne (Webb), an unemployed would-be musician, are the main characters of the show." |

I've seen a few episodes here and there. Some of my friends absolutely love it but I'm not a huge fan. Robert Webb annoys the fuck out of me for a start. There are some really funny scenes, though.

Honestly I can see how he would be annoying. It took me a few episodes to adjust to him (it also helps that we begin to empathize with him, noticing that he's a loser too). Corrigan's cynical views on life and personal anxieties are hilarious to hear through voice-over.

Yes, he's the highlight for me. David Mitchell (who plays him) is always good value when he appears as himself on topical new shows/quizzes, too. Incredibly intelligent guy. Well, they both are I guess. For whatever reason though, Peep Show is a bit of an inexplicable comedy blind spot for me. Friends who share my sense of humour will be bellowing with laughter at it whilst I just sit there, mildly amused.
They did a sketch show called That Mitchell & Webb Look, which I enjoyed more. Might be worth seeking that out too once you're done with this.

I'm with Deex. Not very good the few episodes I have seen.
