Currently on Netflix. For all self-critical men conscious of their internal monologue, aged 25-95, who have completed (or hope to fulfill) the university/job/dating-marriage thing. For all self-delusional boys who think adult life will be a walk in the park. For all women and girls who want to know how two types of adult men think. A show about the daily struggles with embarrassment and issues of competency, pecking order, the vagueries of the liberal arts vs. the demands of business, talent vs. hard work, the evolutionary compulsion to mate and/or climax.
Not for those who live in a world of superheroes and Hallmark greeting cards. Not for men who are actually Mark and Jeremy. Not for The Office's David Brent or Michael Scott. For anyone who appreciates these characters or who knows a George Costanza (Larry David) .
THE most tightly-written TV show, different from but right up there with Veep and 30 Rock. In total agreement with CDA's "NEED."
For anyone enjoying the humor of Arrested Development or 30 Rock, this is another *great* show. Superb chemistry, hilarious story lines and characters. Commit to watching the first 3 episodes, and you'll be hooked.
I wanted to hate this show. It is vile, offensive to women, filled with references to illicit drug use and promiscuous sexual encounters, all the things your first feminist lesbian college professor warned you about on the day you reclaimed your manhood by walking out and giving a room full of hairy-armpitted freshmen girls the finger. I love it. What is there to say? Mark is the picture of narcissistic insecurity. Good ole' Jezzer is the perfect combination of idiot and Jackhole. (I think you know what I mean.) As a woman, I am intrigued by the storytelling ability of the writers and actors on this series, to make me laugh time and again, to the point of having to stop the program and find my breath again, in spite of myself, in spite of my gender, in spite of my ability to look at these men knowing full well I would not lay hands on any part of their anatomy under any circumstances and, still, find them utterly charming. If I love it that much, at least one third of the female population would and, guaranteed, ninety percent of men. It is a retelling of The Odd Couple, if The Odd Couple spent their lives in pursuit, simultaneously, of career advancement/sexual gratification, a serious long-term relationship with a pretty yet boring girl/sexual gratification with a Mary Jane chaser, the acquisition of property via marriage without love or the sectioning of an old friend/sexual gratification with any female who happens by at any given moment and some beer and some drugs and a good go around of what passes for conversation with Super Hans (band-mate and addict). Give it a try. Remasculate yourself.
amazing show. my favourite tv program. mitchell and webb are comedy geniuses. great characters and always a brilliant and hilarious storyline every episode. i hope series 8 is on its way soon.
Longest running sitcom ever on Channel 4. No surprises, possibly my favourite TV show, why?
Its funny, clever and greatly acted by Mitchell and especially Webb.
If you are a male, you NEED to watch this show (mainly because its main characters are two males). I'm not even saying you "should" or you "must" watch this show. Quite literally, you NEED to watch this show. It is undoubtedly the greatest satirical, witty, FPS style show that will ever be made in history. It is SO good that even females will appreciate its genius. I cannot stress how much you actually NEED to go watch this show ASAP.
