I think this show was only mentioned once here on the BB, but it's funny enough to deserve its own thread. It's a UK series about an "odd couple" of roommates, played by the comedic duo of David Mitchell and Robert Webb, and the name refers to the style of camera view used, which imitates each character's viewpoint. If any of you are even slightly interested, give it a chance. It immediately moved to my top rank of TV shows, alongside Arrested Development, and I never would've expected to enjoy it so much!
Hi ginaitaliangirl, yeah I am British that show is big in UK, that's great that some Americans know about it! I see your point about it being similar to Arrested Development, its a cult show.
You were the one whose post I saw when I did a search to see if anyone had mentioned the show here! My brother is always on the hunt for new comedies to watch, so he got me started on it, and we both absolutely loved it. Honestly, I didn't expect to enjoy a British show so much - not saying anything against it, just that I wasn't sure I'd "get" the humor.. but I found it hilarious. Mark's anxieties and quirks are so much like my own personality that it's frightening.

And what do you think of Superhans? I think he is an hilarious character!

Oh yeah, I love him too! I actually wasn't fond of him at the start because his character was so disturbing.. but then I learned to appreciate what an odd guy he is.
I like his bit in this clip: "You get a van, Jez, we can be men with ven."
And someone commented that, after he suggests using an axe, you can see Hans at the end of the clip already holding one!
Did you catch the new episode, Yogi? I was fortunate enough to become a fan just recently, so that I didn't have to wait around very long for the next series, whereas some people have been waiting since 2010.
I was happy to see that it's top-notch still - just as funny as ever! I really think David Mitchell can see my soul sometimes, considering how relevant his issues are to mine!
