Jab (TV series)

Jab is a British black comedy sketch television show, created, written and directed by Mike Brooker. The series was first broadcast on Murro on the 4th of April 2012. A second series was broadcast on the 13th of March 2013. The series revolved around an unconnected series of sketches or scenarios which played over some unsettling music, it also featured a handful of trippy visual and sound effects.

Creator Mike Brooker wanted the series to shock, surprise and even unsettle viewers. The series didn't have any opening titles, just a simple fade of text stating 'JAB 1' (S01E01) 'JAB 2' (S01E02) representing each episodes number in total. What would follow was a morbid version of a compère, where Mike Brooker would read some free form poetry over a nightmarish montage often depicting people's lives as they spiral out of control.
