    More Serious Than Silly
    Good concept, good characters, and definitely a more intelligent series than (what Mitchell & Webb will always be compared to) Peep Show, but certainly not as funny. It's not a fair comparison really, as the two series are very different, and Back is more of a drama which targets quite sensitive topics and does so well.

    Ultimately though, it's not hilarious, and whilst there are definite laughs, usually from Mitchell's pessimism, it's not as enjoyable when Webb plays quite a dislikeable character. It has a good arc which you do invest in, it's worth a watch, but not their best.
