I have never written a review of anything before, and god knows the other reviews i have read are far more conclusive and informative. But peepshow is so good and MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT to the point that i felt compelled to create an account and give it 10/10 and write a review. I was reading some of the reviews and someone summed it up perfectly, and I paraphrase- a cult classic that has the bonus of leaving those of us who do watch it a little smug. This could not be more accurate, peepshow is one of those programs you keep under your hat, but when it becomes apparent that someone else u know has seen it too you will be trading quotes and laughing about for ages, excluding everyone else from the conversation like a huge inside joke. Far far from a boring sitcom with episodic mundane episodes, peepshow takes the mundane and makes it absurd, awkward and hilarious all whist remaining somewhat believable. This is helped by the fact that Jezz and mark are incredibly easy to relate to, with most people i know who like the show believing that they are themselves, a sort of amalgamation of the two. The real surprise with peepshow however is the dialog especially the internal dialog. Whilst the awkward humour comparable in a way to the office, is what brings people to the show initially, the fantastically witty script is what elevates peep show to new heights. Its down to earth humour usually relating to social anxiety is just so funny, with almost every line being quotable, jezz-"just tell her you love her" mark-"I dunno being the first to say i love you, is a bit like shooting first in a duel... if you miss your f**cked". In short peepshow is bloody fantastic, if you watch two episodes and its not your thing fair enough... however if you skip past it without trying you are only doing yourself a huge disservice.
