Yeah,im a huge fan.
I bought the whole series from the UK,although it was a little expensive.
Only Series 1 is available in US.The show is one of my fave shows of all time.
It goes a little too far sometimes but its one of the funniest shows i have ever seen!
I wonder if the new EP's will pop up on Youtube.

I think it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. They definitely take it too far sometimes, but in a way, that's the beauty of it. It's crazy how the UK tv doesn't censor like the US does.

I was able to watch all of season 1 on youtube back in the US...then I may have possibly downloaded the others. God I can't wait till Friday!

Never have seen it but I will definitly have to check it out since UK sitcoms are some of the best.

Oh, it's quality!
Mark is an uptight guy who works for JLB credit and is just generally dorky and Jez is a wannabe musician who is unemployed and basically a life fail. The two originally became friends in university and somehow ended up living together outside of London in Mark's flat, after Jez was kicked out by his girlfriend.

Default I love Peep Show!

I'm really glad to see this show has fans over in America. It is amazingly funny, and the good thing is the series have got better and better and unlike a lot of British comedies, they didn't stop after 2/3 series. I'm interested to know though where you think they went 'too far', because I tell you a lot lot lot worse things are shown on British TV haha
Anyway, the show has a huge cult following in the UK and the critics love it. Shame about its lack of exposure in the US but maybe it wouldn't be successful. Do you think this is true? Is it too British or something?

i watched 4 seasons of it when i was in england for an extended period of time this spring. i love it, although there are points where it got too grim (and i was in england for a grim reason so that kind of compounded it).

everyone i've shown it to has liked it, but i hang out with weirdos.

i don't think it could be shown on network tv or even on bbc america, but it would be great if it was picked up on hbo or something like that. it might be a bit too british for the u.s. mainstream - there are a lot of references and terms ("this crack is really more-ish!") that aren't well known here. knowing the u.s. entertainment industry, at some point there will probably be a bland, sanitized sitcom remake of it for the u.s., a la men behaving badly.

Omg just found this show a couple weeks ago on Netflix! Already watched all 7 seasons. Soooo hilarious!!!!


My bf and I were sad we can't watch the 8th season yet here in the U.S. But then we randomly found "That Mitchell and Webb Look" (also on Netflix) and were like,
"Marrrrk! Jez! Yesss!!"

We were in stitches last night over this! It was like watching a British Chappelle Show. lol

It may get removed/blocked at any moment...(shhh , don't tell anybody)...but as of right this second, s8-currently airing in UK-is posted on YT (they're up to ep. 3 this week).
Robert Webb was also in the mordant ensemble Britcom (no laugh track) "The Smoking Room" from a few years back-I thought it was totally brilliant (though of course, not to everyone's taste).
David Mitchell is one of my favorite panelists when he's appeared on Stephen Fry's quasi-game show "QI", he also had small role in the UK comedy/drama show "Jam & Jerusalem" aka "Clatterford" (offputting titles, but pretty good program).

I tried the show out and just couldn't get into it. The lead guy is just so unattractive. I need a little eye candy to keep my attention.
