Steve Coogan, Chris Morris, British comedy of the moment...

The Rev looks good, I've only seen 30-60 mins but it looks promising.

I just watched the second installment of Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker's series from a few months ago. After the first episode, it took me a few weeks to work up the nerve/soften the memory of the first installment sufficiently to take another crack at it. I think it's pretty brilliant stuff, but extremely unpleasant. I admire it more than I enjoy it. I'm hoping part 3 isn't as rough going as the first two.

Part 3 is pretty damn bleak. My favorite is the second episode. It just feels like a perfect science fiction short story.

I really loved this series and hope they do another.

This series is great - "pretty damn bleak" indeed but very enjoyable.  Light on the comedy though

Friday Night Dinner is amazing. My wife and I caught an episode of it when we were out in Iceland at the end of last year, and I pretty much immediately bought it off of iTunes after seeing the one episode (the one with the dress). Robert Popper is a goddamned genius.

I caught up on Season 7 of Peep Show (finally) this week as it's on Netflix. I'm still recovering from the episode "Man Jam"where Jez gets kicked out of Super Hans' band "MAN FEELINGS" (Danny Dyer's Chocolate Homunculous).

I love love love Peep Show. I do feel that the later seasons are starting to show some diminishing returns. I still want all the seasons on region 1 DVD, though.

I liked season 1 and broke off at season 3. The show is weird in that you cannot stop watching but you can't say why either.
I generally like their sketch show better.

I watched seasons 1-5 pretty steadily, but it took me a long time to get through 6 and then I didn't watch it again until season 7 (about a year later). I was surprised at how funny season 7 ended up being.

I think I might be the only person who doesn't like the Mitchell and Webb Look better than Peep Show. It's always been Peep Show>Mitchell and Webb for me.

I agree with you about Peep Show being better than Mitchell and Webb Look. It has some pretty funny sketches but way more misses.

I like David Mitchell's Soapbox a little more than those, but they're all great.

The best moments of Peep Show are the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

The first time I saw the houseboat episode I couldn't stop laughing.  Ditto for the first season in the scene that happens after they run off from confronting Super Hans.

They aren't all consistently hilarious, but they all work for me.  That Mitchell and Webb is an occasionally funny sketch show to me.  I haven't seen Soapbox.

I watched one single solitary episode of that and even though the Windows 95 graphics impressed me, the rest did not.

But as goes for That Mitchell and Webb Look: I can spontaneously recall a lot of great bits that I can still snicker at, while having forgotten the odious ones.

I cannot say that i have the same experience with peep show.

Peep Show is a precious gem that I will love till my death. Mitchell and Webb Look like all sketch shows is variable in quality but the average quality is very high.

[masterofsparks]

I doubt it counts since Armando Iannucci is really the only connection to British comedy, but the first episode of Veep is great.
