Peep Show, a British tv series running from 2003 to 2015, starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb as a pair of miserable, co-dependent roommates living in Croydon, London, is the most realistic portrayal of evil I have ever seen. We see this all not just by watching Mark and Jez go about their day-to-day lives, but by hearing their inner thoughts through voice-over monologues, which more often than not, reveal their actions and words as either cynical attempts to avoid facing their own failings, or desperate lies to obscure their true intentions, goals, and personalities. If we take a step back, we can see they are clearly doing awful things, but under the onslaught of sympathy, relatable justifications, and even feeling the characters’ physical pressure, it can be easy to lose sight of what’s right and wrong on Peep Show.
