David Simon managed to pull off The Wire with a small budget, almost no attention and tons of no-name actors with little experience.Anything to do with British comedy duo David Mitchell and Robert Webb (including Peep Show and That Mitchell and Webb Look). And as much as I love GoT - it's a massive budget fantasy show executed with all sorts of veteran skilled actors. What other show does that? The closest that comes is Game of Thrones. Like I haven't rewatched more than a few Wire episodes since my second full rewatch 3 years ago and off the top of my head I could probably recite 25-30 characters in the show. The cops, the dealers, the kids, the port workers, the politicians, the school system, the journalists, the power brokers, the gangsters, and seeing how brilliantly they connected dots between them all and just the sheer amount of solid characters, MEMORABLE characters. But they never went as deep as The Wire went. Like, I love the Sopranos and I loved a lot of Breaking Bad and a lot of Mad Men. It's the most impressive overall idea I've ever seen pulled off in a long form television series. Peep Show, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Spaced.įor comedy to those shows are all in their own really really high levels that few other live action comedies can match.Īgreed. To me discovering Peep Show when it was 5 seasons into its run was a lifesaver because absolutely nothing in live action North American comedy (save for Curb) had been good since Seinfeld ended. I can rewatch Seinfeld episodes all the time, same with Peep Show. I love Peep Show but I the final season some things got tired and it wasn't as outright funny.Īlso they're so difficult to compare because Seinfeld has some quintessentially American humour and Peep Show has some quintessentially British humour. They ended it before it got remotely weak. Somehow it reached a level of being incredible in season 3 and didn't really diminish that much til the end. Peep Show ran for nine seasons from 2003 to 2015, and. Seinfeld was a one in a million comedy show because Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld were like the Lennon & McCartney of modern comedy writing in TV. David Mitchell and Robert Webb have revealed plans to revive their hit Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show but not until they are really old. It's a lot easier to be amazing in a 8 episode season than in a 22 episode one. The difference is you cannot imagine the powers behind Peep Show (Jesse/Sam/Mitchell/Webb) sustaining THAT level of incredible quality over so many episodes over such lengthy seasons. That's what is most commonly impressive with both of them. I'd say that 80% of Seinfeld episodes were very good and very funny and the same ratio with Peep Show. I think it's very difficult to compare them honestly.
