Modern sketch show by David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
I’m 3 episodes in, and it’s okay. I wouldn’t say it’s good yet, but maybe it gets better…
I kinda miss British sketch comedy. Are there any other modern sketch shows being made?
Their last show, That Mitchell and Webb Look was also mid, with some notable exceptions like the “are we the baddies” bit.
Peep Show was fucking legendary though
It’s just not really relevant any more. The humour is of its time and all of us have moved on. I saw a user review yesterday that likened the new show to the very final Mitchell and Webb look sketch, the one about the old, dementia ridden Sherlock Holmes. I think it’s very apt. They’ve lost the touch, and this often happens to comedians, especially their sketch shows.
