Lot 49 posted:Thinking about the end of this show is On the Pull is probably my favourite, if only because for a very brief period of time Mark actually has things going his way. He's having fun, he's acting as normal as someone like Mark can, and everyone else is having a terrible time. It also has two of the best scenes in the entire series: Jez and the awkward situation with Tony and Toni, and the first person image of Mark humping Valerie, which may be the single best shot ever committed to the history of television. Second favourite is also in series 1, where Mark completely loses it and stalks Sophie and ends up pepper spraying Jez. "Ok. Enough careers guidance... I need therapy" Third one is hard. I think it's either Sectioning or Handyman.

Peep Show Series 9 Episode 6 Are We Going To Be Alright? - It's the last ever Peep Show from the El Dude Brothers. Jeremy is turning 40 - and it's hitting him hard - while Mark makes an audacious attempt to win the woman of his dreams. This is it boys and girls, the last enchilada

Really really wish they'd taken more of a leap at the end there.....Hell, since JLB folded (Season 5?) the writing on this show has really lacked conviction. They haven't let Mark n Jez grow, just kept throwing love interests at them, always returning to the same zero state. Making Jez bi/gay was a cool twist in theory, but just like Mark being a dad it was only ever 2 lines of dialogue deep. Anyway the first 4 seasons were terrific and David Mitchell is a good panel show guest now. Mission accomplished.

Mark and Jez have never really been capable of growth, they've just been treading water since university and now they're middle-aged. All in all, I think it was about as good a sendoff as possible, a bit of manic chaos as a situation spirals out of control, some nice (non)resolution, Jeff and Johnson were good and the last scene was only sentimental in a weird enough way that it wasn't sickly.

A lot of funny moments, a final "gently caress you" from Jeff, Jeremy ruining Mark's life, a ridiculous plot to win affection from a woman, said plan backfiring with everyone involved losing the people they love, and finally a moment where Mark and Jez discuss killing each other. A perfect send-off, if you ask me. Godspeed, El Dude Bros.

You all keep saying they haven't grown but Jez at least no longer wears his front bottom inspector t-shirt as he has matured enough to find it distasteful.

Jeremy looks completely different, as does Mark and Sophie. The scene with Jeff and Johnson could have been lifted from S1.

In my head there will be a series 10 and it will be set in prison. They share the same cell. Big Mad Andy will have a prominent role.

I loved it. Hilarious from start to finish. The best bits were Jeremy's long term plan being "Fucky sucky" and the "Czar loving off the Ibiza".

I'm sad it is over but also I think it is for the best. It was a good last episode and I'm glad they didn't totally tie up everything neatly and carried on the great sitcom tradition of absolutely nothing changing from the first episode, really. Who would want to rent a moped off Super Hans

The episode where Jeremy befriends Jeff is one of my favorites I think it also has the poker scene which is the best summation of Mark and Jez's characters "All the reds! That looks amazing!"

There was more potential in the threelationship plotline than it got. Jez's journey to bi'ness could have initially started with him agreeing to a threesome with the couple and then ended with the guys slowly pushing the girl out of the relationship.

After about 24 hours of reflection, I agree that the threeway plot really didn't get explored. When people started showing up for Jeremys birthday I was hoping to see Nancy, Elana, Zahara, the Monk, Big Suze and maybe even Toni. That would've really nailed it for me. But as Jeremy pointed out most of the people that Jeremy knows he's hosed over

Doing a rewatch / binge this week, and one thing I've noticed is that largely, no plot really gets explored, with the possible exception of the Sophie story. It's definitely British sitcom vintage - most of everything is episodic and the underlying story is only very slowly advanced, if at all. Compared with the trend of US sitcoms becoming really drawn out dramas with the occasional laugh, I have to say it's refreshing.

I feel like a special is inevitable because that ending was exceptionally dead-ended for a British SERIES

Gorn Myson posted:I actually liked him way more on the re-watch. Once you realise that Mark is a creepy oval office, Jeff's dislike of him becomes increasingly reasonable. Jeff is right to dislike Mark, but he's the sort of person that I can't stand. There's something about him. In the party episode, the massive poo poo in the toilet didn't phase me, but when it's revealed that Jeff did it I almost retched. Something about his shits are particularly disgusting. There's a lot of people like that. Jay's dad in The Inbetweeners is the same, especially when he shits.

That's because Jay's dad was the most disgusting individual ever put on TV yet remained completely believable. You know there's literally thousands of him roaming the Earth pissing on people's feet right now.

8raz posted:I've seen the last episode and it was pretty good but you wouldn't know it's the last ever ep if you didn't know. It just feels like any of the other "season" finales which I think is probably a good thing. Perfectly sums up my thoughts. I get the feeling they wanted to stop but realised they couldn't just stop it on how series 8 ended. Love 1-7, 8-9 not so much. It has some moments but probably best its over now. Still, not many series can put such a good stint in. I think the programme stands a lot more on the side characters than I ever realised. Obviously Mark, Jez and Hans are good, but I don't feel the others in the Threeism and April were as funny or interesting as Toni, Nancy, Big Suz or Elena. Johnson and Sophie arent really there beyond cameo (Johnson is so wasted I wonder if they even wrote it with the character in mind). Too three, Wedding, Quantocking and Christmas.

Nah any one of the series could have been the last one. 8 ended with Dobby leaving forever and Mark and Jez hating each other. That's a perfectly fine way to end it. Actually series 7 wouldn't really have worked because it's a somewhat happy ending for Mark.

I would assume that Patterson Joseph didn't have much time to actually film or they didn't really know what to do with his character but DID know they had to have him in there. I feel like working at the bank wasn't a natural progression of his character after the last things he did.

If you need more stuff now that peep show is over check out 'The Smoking Room' with Robert Webb. Not as good as Peep Show but its a decent sitcom that most people missed when it came out.
