It makes for good entertainment, though in typical British fashion, it’s very cringe worthy.Īs you’ve probably noticed by now if you watched the videos posted, this show goes to great lengths to immerse you within the heads of each of the two main characters. He never sticks up for himself, and may be the most awkward character ever created. He’s your typical bookish shut-in, who is clueless about dating and is perpetually negative and complaining. Mark, played by David Mitchell, has virtually no self-esteem, yet has a good office job, and provides for both himself and Jeremy.
Yet, he always manages to do quite well for himself, despite his lack of regular employment, or any sense of responsibility. Think a British version of Fry from Futurama, with the selfishness of Dennis from Always Sunny.

His career aspiration is to be in the music industry, but he doesn’t know how to play any musical instruments, and the songs he writes suck. He seems to be a sex addict (if such a thing actually exists), seems to usually be on drugs, or hanging out with his strange friend “Super” Hans who is actually always on drugs, and he’s delightfully slow. He rarely has a job, and simply suckers Mark, the show’s other lead character, into letting him live in his apartment for free. Not only does he have a nickname which sounds suspiciously like “jizz,” but Jeremy, played by Robert Webb, is also my new favorite lovable, selfish idiot on the square box I watch things on.
