Been watching Peep Show recently, and it really is one fourth wall break away from being the Truman Show. Or TMA. I actually love it as a sitcom, it makes me think a bit more than most.
anyway i think rob & david were right about jez & mark staying together out of a satisfying hatred for each other (paraphrasing: theyre living with the only person they hate more than themselves and subsisting on the knowledge that theyre not as bad as That guy). i also think they love each other its not mutually exclusive
the thing about peep show is i LOVE the premise that every shot is filmed from the POV of a character currently present. and yet cinematographically it's very similar to amateur porn. or maybe it's just the early 2000s styles and undecorated apartment with the windows always closed.
