Just what I expected

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I think it has been satirical enough and revealing. Especially the plot where Stephen thought he killed a boy when he was 12 but Andrew assured him that he didn't- people forgot what happened when they are young, or their memories have errors, like when your parents or classmates told you that you have done something in the past, you can't recall it AT ALL.
And of course the ending when Mitchell persuaded the woman lost her husband that it was him who found the body. He is less and less confident about himself and his way of communicating with people. Apparently it was not just the woman. It was HE with EVERYONE. I can so relate that sometimes I think my manners of communicating are so lame.

I didn't really enjoy the first episode but obviously continued to watch the other 3 in case it picked up. I still feel the same way after episode 4 but slightly more intrigued to see which way it's going to go. Jokes are mildly funny. I think I went in expecting the same sense of humor Peep Show had. I don't really like or care for any of the characters in it besides the main men. i'll continue to watch and update my rating if my opinion changes. Do give it a go though, each to their own and all that...

When the Peep shows long run finally came to an end. It also meant the best sitcom of the last decade ended too. So it's great to the shows two stars Robert Webb and David Mitchell back together in this new comedy. People will argue there characters are the same as in the Peep Show. David something of a failure hopeless with women. Robert equally abject but always able to blag his way through life and with ladies. For me I don't care it's great to see them together in this very funny show. If like me you've been missing the Peep Show then Back will at least fill the void. 9/10

First episodes are always tricky for sitcoms and with a lot of setting up to do and a fairly large cast to introduce, it can bring immediate criticism before even given a chance for the story to evolve properly, which is unfair especially for a show with so much potential as this one. I thought it was brilliant, laughed loudly for the most part of it and smiled the entire time... and that's what sitcoms are about. This one hit the nail on the head for me and I'm looking forward the next episodes.
