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.

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.

When the Peep shows long run finally came to an end. It also meant the best sitcom of the last decade ended too. So it's great to the shows two stars Robert Webb and David Mitchell back together in this new comedy. People will argue there characters are the same as in the Peep Show. David something of a failure hopeless with women. Robert equally abject but always able to blag his way through life and with ladies. For me I don't care it's great to see them together in this very funny show. If like me you've been missing the Peep Show then Back will at least fill the void. 9/10

Predictable jokes, a boring plot and some dull side characters, the first episode of this Channel 4 sitcom was a turgid disappointment. There were some laughs, however, and Mitchell and Webb play their roles quite well, so there is room for improvement, and hopefully we're just off to a shaky start, and will kick into a higher gear as the show progresses.Two brilliant lines about vinyl and cancer, but some dodgy stuff with dogs and aeroplanes. Mitchell is the best thing about this show, and Webb plays a snarky, hate-able git extremely well. For whatever reason.One joke was ripped from David Mitchell's Soapbox, the YouTube series, and it was done much better on there.
