Aiden Landman loves Peep Show

The premise is a simple one. Mix the ill-ease of the Odd Couple with first person camera work, up the awkwardness, and throw in a pinch of post-millennial dread and there you have it: Peep Show, a five-series-and-counting look into the fictional lives of two friends destined to spend their lives together.
Jeremy and Mark (Robert Webb and David Mitchell) are flatmates and friends since college, 'the El Dude Brothers'. Mark works as a financial manager and Jeremy is an aspiring musician, only without the talent. Together, they manage to alienate those around them, bumble through love, and end every episode where they start — two confused man-children pitifully alone.
If you were a fan of The Office or Extras or if you are just a person who enjoys sarcastic, dry, crazily uncomfortable humor, then Peep Show is for you.

That Mitchell and Webb Look, a sketch show starring the same two guys, is also very entertaining.
