Résumés(1)

Critically acclaimed comedy that follows Mark (David Mitchell) and Jeremy (Robert Webb), two flatmates living in south London, on their increasingly complicated journeys through life. Wannabe musician Jeremy is a lazy man with big ideas, mostly about himself. Mark is an inhibited, obsessive office drone with a no-pain, no-gain view of the world. Hear their deepest, darkest and most socially unacceptable thoughts and feelings as they struggle to find their place in the modern world. (texte officiel du distributeur)

Peep Show (2003) 

anglais I saw the first episode and I have occasionally returned to the series a few times, but I have never found the courage to dedicate myself to it systematically. Not because of its format - it is very good at being what it wants to be and has excellent focus. It can hit the mark, and if you can laugh at the situations that Mark and Jeremy regularly find themselves in, then it is exceptionally entertaining. The problem lies in the approach to the characters. Both protagonists are outsiders who work hard to maintain their unenviable positions. They don't need any enemies or bad luck. They owe their exemplary loser status to exceptional self-centeredness, low social intelligence, thoughtlessness, selfishness, and a lack of tact. Through their inner monologues, they reveal themselves to you without any pretenses, and I don't believe that you would want to share a household with those losers. Peep Show is similar to television contest formats that find entertainment in exposing the flaws of the contestants and humiliating them. The series is similarly ruthless, and cynical, and as a result, ultimately more sad than lively. I cannot tune in correctly to it and find empathy for its (anti)heroes. Overall impression: 60%. ()
