chinesexiaomin 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.
david2112 Watched the first episode being an avid fan of Mitchell and Webb Look.Very depressing and sad first episode killed any interest i had in the rest of the show.They seemed to be lambasting normal peoples lives and how they dealt with the death of a family member.
mattcook1983 The writing is satisfyingly excellent. Dark humour, much as with peep show, causes that pleasingly awful cringe. Where this differs is that the tension arches its back from the first episode to the last, like a malevolent cat performing a tickle stretch.The level of observational comedy in this is so consistent, I begin to wonder if the writers discovered an unwritten diary of mine labelled "things I half-noticed, but neither properly analysed, nor was diligent enough to write down."As for the compelling darkness, "Back" opens out intrigues to outdo much "serious" TV drama. These are the shadows of comedy - a perspective on real lives that can handle being pushed into caricature.One of the best things I've seen on TV.
mcgurn-22082 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...
