Peep Show is back - 11th November
Discussion
ked and unaccountably SpanishAll of the episodes in this series have been absolute bangers so far but that is a hallmark of Peep Show, they've never done a bad episode as far as I'm concerned. This week's episode had me in stitches when Jeremy was urging Mark on during the panic cooking, as he mashed baked beans into pasta and cracked an egg on it, "I'll tell them this is how I like it" - a proper laugh riot.
I feel sorry for anyone coming late to the game on this, part of what makes Peep Show so funny and endearing is the way that we've been with these characters since 2003, if you watched a random episode you'd probably wonder wtf was going on.

Painting the cheddar had me in stitches

I seem to have passed this series by. Just watched Series 1 / Episode 1 and am not sure what to think. Funny in places.
Does it get better?
Definitely watch the first few and even if you don't like them, try series 2 and go back to 1 later.Does it get better?
Am I the only one who hates the current series? It peaked at series 2-3 for me but it stayed very good, with only occasional stupid bits (dog eating). But this series is horrible though. Just seems like they're desperate to be funny. It's just painful.
Spruce on the juice? 
As somebody who's been there from the very start in 2003, I am absolutely loving this latest series. The situational writing for this series has been pure gold. It had tailed off over the past few series, and I don't think it's any co-incidence that the long gap between 8 and 9 has given the writer(s) time to think and bring back some of the magic.
Series 1 (2003)
Series 2 (2004)
Series 3 (2005)
Series 4 (2007)
Series 5 (2008)
Series 6 (2009)
Series 7 (2010)
Series 8 (2012)
Series 9 (2015)
The best episodes have always had multiple sub-plots, and this series is no exception. Several sub-plots in each & every episode creating [for me] many unexpected laughs. Utter genius.

Yeah, they've become caricatures rather then regular guys dealing with almost regular situations.Am I the only one who hates the current series?

Don't get me wrong, still one of the funniest shows on TV but I feel like I'm laughing at them rather then with them which takes a bit of what made it special away.
