Apr 01, 2018How much is Matt LeBlanc like Matt LeBlanc and how much am just watching this show to fill the void 'Friends' left in my heart? Two questions I kept continuously asking myself while watching Episodes. In the series LeBlanc is one of the lead characters, starring as an alternate version of himself, after the screenwriter couple Sean Lincoln (Stephen Mangan) and Beverly Lincoln (Tamsin Greig) get invited to move to Hollywood, to remake their British show 'Lyman's Boys' for an American audience. In the casting process, LeBanc gets forced onto them as the main character, which creates a lot of friction in the entire production team, especially between Matt and Beverly. Episodes is a great show which wonderfully captures and exaggerates the insincerity of Hollywood's show business and contrasts it with a rather tense British couple. The plot is engaging and fun, though a little predictable at times. Being a LeBlanc fan certainly helps to enjoy the show. Details of his life are changed, for example, him having two sons on the show, instead of a daughter, which makes the show within a show, yet a bit more confusing but does not hugely distract. Frequent references to Matt's role as Joey in 'Friends' and his calm but often questionable attitude towards relationships bring on some good laughs and even out the extreme stiffness of Greig's character. The series has a lot of rather obnoxious personalities crossing paths who on somehow make for a hilarious, balanced and rounded show all things considered. Although I gave the show 4.5/5 starts, do I feel it is important to stress that if it was not for LeBlanc, I would probably not be watching it and wonder if his character can continuously uphold the brilliance of the show in the coming seasons.

Jul 26, 2016I laughed out loud many many times, hilarious!

Mar 23, 2016The style of humour here clicks with me, all the writing and performances mesh to make a consistently clever and laugh-out-loud season which never seems in any danger of running out of steam.

Feb 07, 2016(Written after Season 1). Wonderful satire on the entertainment industry. An English couple, Sean and Beverly Lincoln (Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig, respectively), are the creators/producers of a long- running, highly acclaimed and very popular TV show on UK TV, "Lyman's Boys". After receiving yet another award for the show they are approached by a US TV executive. He wants to take them to the US and make a US version of the show. After much haggling and assurances that the show will remain largely unchanged they agree. Once in the US they discover that the proposed show is quite different to the UK version. Their greatest dismay, however, is reserved for the fact that their venerable lead actor is to be replaced by Friends star Matt Le Blanc. Very funny, in an understated English sort of way. Pokes fun at the entertainment industry in a subtle tongue-in-cheek way. Most particularly it satirizes the superficiality and star-obsessed nature of US television. Some good drama too: the fish-out-of-water nature of the two main characters, the culture clashes, the relationship issues. Solid work by Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan in the lead roles. Matt Le Blanc is great as himself (or a alter-ego of himself - some details of his life are changed for the series). Must be difficult to parody yourself with a straight face, and he does it with aplomb.

Dec 08, 2013Out of all the under-appreciated comedies on television, this is by far one of the most hilarious.
