Oh great - they are going to make Mark and Jez - central characters in the funniest show ever (maybe) - and certainly the funniest about male bonding / fuck-uppery ever - be female now ffs.......this is the worst idea since New Coke .......pfffft........ FX has ordered a pilot for an American reboot of the British comedy series “Peep Show.”
The half-hour project hails from writer Stefani Robinson. Per the official series logline, the new version “takes inspiration from the original U.K. series and its unique narrative format. It follows the relationship between a long-suffering assistant and her boss, an emotionally unstable tech entrepreneur.”

I know this looks bad but Stefani Robinson has done some great writing work on What We Do in the Shadows (one of the best comedy shows running) and Atlanta. I'm cautiously (*very* cautiously) optimistic about this, but worst-case it'll just make me crave another binge of the OG show which is way overdue at this point.
the American reboot of The Thick of It turned out pretty damn well!

the summary sounds very Hacks-ish with that boss-assistant dynamic, and Hacks after just two seasons is already starting to get old. hmmm
