Peep Show follows the lives of Mark Corrigan (Mitchell) and Jeremy "Jez"
Usbourne (Webb), two very different, dysfunctional best friends who share
a flat in Croydon, South London. Mark is a socially awkward and despondent
loan manager, while Jeremy is a childish slacker and unemployed musician
who lives in Mark's spare room.
Stylistically, the show uses point of view shots—giving the programme its
title — with the thoughts of main characters Mark and Jeremy audible as
voice-overs. The show is also noted for its veristic portrayal of human
life through a general lack of conventional character development in Mark
and Jeremy, and their purgatorial lifestyle together from their twenties
to their forties as a result of their shared inability to change. The show
has been described by co-creator Sam Bain as portraying
"the stubborn persistence of human suffering",
and, through the exploration of existentialism and loneliness, as a
realistic portrayal of
"why ordinary people are evil".
