Back review
Back doesn't have the most straightforward of premises; it takes a bit of setting up. But that's done well, and it's worth the effort, because once you're on top of things, it's an interesting place to be.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 7th September 2017David Mitchell and Robert Webb star in this new comedy-drama from Peep Show co-writer Simon Blackwell. Mitchell is put-upon Stephen, stepping uneasily into the shoes of his universally liked dead father, while Webb is Andrew, Stephen's one-time foster brother, returning after 30 years with a portfolio of lived experience and effortless charm. With a dark undercurrent beneath its cosy surface, Back could easily become a modern Ever Decreasing Circles.

Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent, 5th September 2017TV preview: Back, C4
Let's be crystal clear about this. Back is not Peep Show - What Happened Next? David Mitchell plays a feckless, inept man-child and Robert Webb plays a hopeless charmer who can't help cocking up and landing on his feet, but that's where the similarity ends. Almost.
