Back

I'm not sure how exactly to describe it but I'd say it's a worthy-ish evolution of the dynamic duo of Mitchell and Webb.

I'd heartily recommend it to anyone who can appreciate the humor poking its head out from the plot full of dreary yet energetic dysfunction.

When the Peep shows long run finally came to an end. It also meant the best sitcom of the last decade ended too. So it's great to the shows two stars Robert Webb and David Mitchell back together in this new comedy. People will argue there characters are the same as in the Peep Show. David something of a failure hopeless with women. Robert equally abject but always able to blag his way through life and with ladies. For me I don't care it's great to see them together in this very funny show. If like me you've been missing the Peep Show then Back will at least fill the void. 9/10

Better than Peep Show in my opinion. PS seemed a bit too infantile at times, while this has a great story line. Good writing, with funny "down and out" characters. Especially Webb makes a strong performance. A must-see for Mitchell fans.

Good concept, good characters, and definitely a more intelligent series than (what Mitchell & Webb will always be compared to) Peep Show, but certainly not as funny. It's not a fair comparison really, as the two series are very different, and Back is more of a drama which targets quite sensitive topics and does so well.

Ultimately though, it's not hilarious, and whilst there are definite laughs, usually from Mitchell's pessimism, it's not as enjoyable when Webb plays quite a dislikeable character. It has a good arc which you do invest in, it's worth a watch, but not their best.

One of the best sitcoms I have seen in a while. There are no weak characters, they are either great or better. I binged this mercilessly
