Mark and Jez are a couple of twenty-something roommates who have nothing in common - except for the fact that their lives are anything but normal. Mayhem ensues as the pair strive to cope with day-to-day life.
This is a little gem I found sadly relegated to late-night TV. It's an innovative comedy about two losers who are trying to be cool and get the girls, shot entirely with point-of-view angles (characters talk to the camera as a person or the camera IS the character, depending on who's speaking).
I cannot recommend this show highly enough. British comedy seemed to be on the wane, but this is one of the best written, funniest shows around.
Expect copycat shows using the same style of shooting POV any time soon.
