if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

'Episodes' is one of those shows that you expect to be bad on appearances, but when you watch it, it completely smashes any misconception you may have had to pieces. The mixture of British and American culture and humour means it's appealing to British and American audiences, with something for everyone to find funny no matter what your sense of humour. The characters are realistic, relatable and individual and benefit from being played by a very talented cast and the script writing is witty and clever, poking fun at real life situations, Hollywood and the TV industry in a way that is relatable and funny to everyone. Matt Le Blanc has been too long associated with the failure of 'Joey', but in 'Episodes' he proves that he's an incredibly strong and talented actor that brings tonnes of personality to his character Matt (who is a fictionalised version of himself). Tamsin Greig (Beverley) and Stephen Mangan (Sean) are also fantastic leads that have great chemistry with each other and Matt, whilst Kathleen Rose Perkins (Carol) is an excellent addition to the cast that is a very unique and quirky character. The characters are definitely a strong point of the show as are their relationships with each other. Beverley and Sean very much feel like a real married couple that are by no means perfect but are in love and devoted to each other, they naturally bounce off one another and are extremely funny together; Beverley and Matt's bickering is comical whilst Sean and Matt's friendship is fun to watch and Carol and Beverley's friendship is endearing and it's so great to see such polar opposites navigating themselves in such a profound friendship. Even the more minor characters serve a purpose and are unique. Though the story-lines are hardly original or intelligent, that's to be expected with any sit-com and doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the show. There's enough drama and laughter to keep viewers entertained and the light-hearted nature of the show makes for easy watching. I love that the show pokes fun at the inherently flawed TV industry and plays on Hollywood stereotypes. A lot of the humour lies in Sean and Beverley, who are incredibly "normal" and very British, trying to navigate themselves in the completely alien L.A/Hollywood culture whilst simultaneously detesting it. What 'Episodes' does that many other shows generally tend not to, is portray life in a very real and organic way. None of the characters are perfect and despite the fact that they're all living in L.A and rich/successful, their lives are far from perfect and just like the rest of us, they're all taking each day as it comes and navigating through life's highs and lows. Overall, 'Episodes' is a good but not great show. It's perfect for some light comedic relief on a Sunday night when you just want cheering up. Although, I wouldn't necessarily class it as laugh out loud funny, it will certainly give you a titter and make you smile.

I love this show. It puts a nice cap on a long day, where I just relax into the show for a few minutes and forget about the snow outside for a while. Matt LeBlanc is funnier in this than he ever was in Friends. There are some GREAT cars in the show if you know what to look for. It's a pretty sexy show too, which helps when you are trying to get close to your other half. The only slight grumbles that I have are: Genevieve O'Reilly left, and Daisy Haggard's character just pulls faces and makes noises. It was funny once, maybe twice, but give her some lines...
