This season is already one of the best. If it keeps up like this, I'm going to miss it even more.

I love how Mark completely disintegrated with one small, inoffensive phone call. One second hes going along with Jez's idea and the second hes having a full mental breakdown. Loved the reference to the "thats all ancient history now" gag from the Darty episode back in series two as well. Thats probably my favourite Peep Show moment of all time.

Great episode. Some proper classic farce comedy there. Mark should have just ordered a takeaway and said the oven's hosed, but I don't watch this show for sensible solutions to problems.

One thing that got me was the "don't cross the streams" reference when they already referred to Ghostbusters before. It's the little things.

thought it escalated far too quickly, which meant i was questioning the situation rater than just going with it. cold calculating Mark before any panic sets in would have realised he'd need to prepare enough food for the fictitious party so April wouldn't twig that there never were any other guests. he'd probably even put thought into what's going to keep best for two days of eating leftovers. and why was there no booze in the flat? Jeremy lives there.

Great loving episode. Marks eye shadow cracked me the gently caress up. I can't wait to see the Threeism moving forward.

I had to pause it to laugh after "Mark, stop literally rubbing your hands" because it took me so off-guard.

Episode one was pretty drat bad, episode two was great and this one was... Okay. Statistically, three episodes in this is already one of the weakest seasons. I really hope the episodes pick up because it would be a real shame if they had eight fantastic seasons only o drop the ball now. The unfortunate trend I'm noticing this season is that some of the characters more prominent traits are kind of... being exaggerated a little. This felt really bad with Superhans in the first episode and Mark is a bit more on the cartoonish side now. I know the characters are already pretty silly, but a few times this season it's just felt like they're pulling all the sliders up to 10.

They've been caricatures of the initial characters for years and years now. The genius of the show in the early seasons was how realistic it seemed, now it's almost always preposterous but oh well it's still really good and I've enjoyed all three episodes so far this season. Also I quite like seeing the blast from the past characters like April again. Sophie's brother getting an appearance would be amazing. I hope it ends with Mark getting April and something horrible happening to Jeremy. Probably they will both end up miserable and alone apart from each other though, that would be the most fitting and it's why the wedding episode would have been the perfect end for the show.

I think the screen going black when mark gets his eyes drawn on is one of the few times they've actually utilised the POV format for sight gags, it doesent happen all that often. Also every time a new season comes out I think its not as good as it used to be but if I go back and watch it I think the series has been pretty consistant. The only point I felt like it really dropped the ball was when mark finally got with Dobby because it felt like the writers didn't know what to do with her when Mark finally had her, there are times she seemed to develop a severe amnesia going back to him whenever the plot demanded it despite how obviously awful he was every single episode. Mark realising that they actually weren't suited at all is really the most logical place for it to end.

The thing is I don't think the characters became more exaggerated, just the situations they were in. Researching the series I think season 2 mark and season 7 mark are the same people, it's just that now they have to break into offices and eat dogs. The first episode of this season though it actually felt a bit like peep show fan fiction. When I watch the show though, I think the entire series except maybe the first is consistent. I genuinely don't think I can name a season that's standout better than any other.

I totally agree with Mark going mad and throwing any old poo poo in there though, he wouldn't have ordered a takeaway. This situation is no sillier than Mummy though. I've rewatched it all pretty recently and there's really nothing here that's sillier than anything else. I mean even with April he chases her to university! And that's series 2.

I've been a massive Peep Show and Mitchell & Webb (as a comedy/sketch duo (That...Look/Sound), as individual artists, etc.) fan since I first came across the shows/them on Netflix nearly, like, eight years ago. I get that that's not the longest time nor from the beginning, but being that I'm in the US Deep South it's been an almost-alienating interest. poo poo, even my four or five British friends have only heard of the show, at best (typically via a viewing recommendation, which rarely seem to work). In general, I'd agree last season was the weakest so far, but also want to echo the sentiment that that paintball/plinking episode was fan-loving-tastic. The show has a great cast (Matt King, Olivia Colman and Paterson Joseph in the only role I've ever really enjoyed from him) and absolutely inspired writing. As for That Mitchell and Webb Look, I have a lot of beloved sketches--Sir Digby Chicken Caesar has already been mentioned on page one--but one sketch of theirs I always thought seemed underrated to me is this gem right here. "Everyone knows that children's bodies look better in a white bath, and before you say that sounds weird, I mean alive or dead." e: All that said, I am still yet to see any of the new series (9). For 8, I pirated them as they aired on Channel 4, but I don't think that's exactly necessary since I just found the aired eps of 9 on YT.

The wait between the phone call and Jeremy reminding Mark about the eye writing was genius. It felt almost certain that Mark would forget, but they turned it around and made it even funnier. Solid series so far.

The show has always been pretty inconsistent. That said, the highs in this season seem on-par and perhaps occur more often than the last 2 or 3. I'm going to miss it.

 I don't think any other show has made me laugh as consistently as this one. It kills me that I don't have friends that watch it. Trying to sell it always fails miserably. "it's about two terrible people who live together, gently caress each other over constantly but are totally co-dependent, told from the perspective of POV shots..and it makes shows like it's always sunny and you're the worst look like a light hearted disney affair"

I mean that is assuming Always Sunny is popular enough in the US that people have actually heard of it.

This was a weird episode. Watching it, it was like the critical/analysis part of my brain kept telling me "this isn't a very good episode, the jokes are kind of stretched," but that was mostly drowned out by the other part of my brain that couldn't stop laughing. All in all, a solid episode and the perfect thing for Thanksgiving day drinking earlier today.

I wonder if they tried to get Peter Capaldi back to play the professor from that same episode as April's husband. He did look a bit like him.

I loved mark laughing about Jez drawing on him but still backing away in fear half grimacing through it. I do wonder whether this loan will bite them soon, after all didn't Mark give his name as a landlord?

I started randomly jumping around episodes and it's nice that the conversation about the eyelid message is basically identical to the conversation about the Hitler moustache when Mark was putting on his skit about the JLB downsizing in season 6. "Hitler me, Jez."

I did expect that when she was married but it would have been a bit strange if he'd married a pupil. I also thought she might be married to a woman but I guess they did that joke already with Elena.

O man that whole scene was really funny. I thought everything after the girlfriend got to the apartment was great. I really hope we get to see Jez's threeism explode horribly. Jez as a life coach is amazing.
