04/04/2018 Despite serious doubts about it, is season two of Episodes very entertaining and excites me for more. By now it almost seems like the directors deliberately came up with predictable storylines and jokes, but the magic to it is, that they still work very well. Just like the first season, does Episodes second season start off very weak and only really gains momentum halfway through. Overall the plot gets more interesting and offers a bit more than just a funny LeBlanc. Yet still, those who are looking for their LeBlanc fix are not going to be left disappointed. Several of Matt's real-life experiences are hilariously worked into the season, although taken to new heights. If you want to know what's true, opposed to just watch the show as is, be prepared to spend a lot of time on Google. You will find answers.

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. Season 2 continues the good work of Season 1, with mostly the same style. It also adds in a few inane, hysterically funny touches (eg a blind woman playing golf, Matt and his stalker).
