Peep Show, a British sitcom aired on Channel 4 from 2003 to 2015, transformed television comedy with its innovative mockumentary style and internal monologues. Centering on the lives of two mismatched roommates in London, the show was influential despite being a cult favorite in the U.S. Its stars, David Mitchell and Robert Webb, along with creator Jesse Armstrong—who later gained fame with Succession—remain integral to British comedy. A recent 20th-anniversary tribute by the British Film Institute underscores the show's notable legacy in the genre.
Peep Show, which chronicled two spiraling roommates in a grotty London flat, was highly influential in Britain and beyond, airing for nine seasons from 2003-2015.
Jesse Armstrong, co-creator of Peep Show, noted that the show is often a 'hipster’s choice' among American audiences, despite its cult status.
Peep Show is filmed in a first-person style, offering internal monologues that put viewers in the minds of two friends who invariably do wrong.
The British Film Institute held a 20th anniversary tribute for Peep Show in 2023, showcasing its enduring legacy in comedy.
