People Like Us is an amusing take on daily life through the eyes of a documentarian, Roy Mallard (Chris Langham). At first glance, it's a straight documentary series based on the lives of regular citizens. Upon closer inspection, it celebrates the weird and uncanny in a serial mockumentary. The unseen protagonist interviews a different professional in each episode, similar to many 'day in the life' television shows now on the air. It delights in the absurdly plausible, with everyone from airline pilots to police officers bumbling through their jobs. Roy Mallard is also guilty of bumbling through his own job. He interrupts his own interviews, misdirects people, and interferes with things he should only be observing. For Roy, these people really are like him, which makes the title completely apt. People Like Us is a wealth of humor, but only if the audience is willing to pay attention to it.MORE
