Synopsis

TV Series (2011-2017). 5 Seasons. 41 Episodes. British-bred writer-producers, Beverly and Sean Lincoln, have it good. A wonderful marriage and a hit TV series to their credit. Things couldn't be better. Until, Merc Lapidus, a Hollywood big shot in charge of a network, gushes over their series at a social gathering. Merc is certain that a remake of the show will go over well with an American audience. After a lucrative offer, the Lincolns pack up and ship out to The States. It doesn't take long for them to figure out, that Hollywood is a place where deals are made and broken in the same breath. They find themselves holding on tight, as creative control of their project starts to slip from their hands. It has been brought to their attention, that "You don't say no to Merc". To add insult to injury, the original star of the show is tossed out for actor, Matt LeBlanc, a charming, yet, manipulative beast, with a grocery list of demands. LA is not what the Lincolns had in mind...

Critics' reviews

"[5th Season Review]: Matt LeBlanc wraps the best work of his career with a sharp final year (...) [It] digs into its main characters' emotions — or what's left of them — in a final season worth savoring."

Ben Travers: IndieWire
"A riotously, often scathingly funny showbiz satire that proves LeBlanc is smart enough to know self-mockery can be a potent weapon"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"If you find the premiere poky, stick with it: 'Episodes' gets funnier with each succeeding episode, and the acting is superb. Yes: Matt LeBlanc = superb"

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"The writing in 'Episodes', by sitcom vets David Crane ('Friends', 'The Class') and Jeffrey Klarik ('The Class'), is sharp and merciless, and, except for a trite jealousy subplot, on point"

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"The performances are actually good in the series, if only the actors had credible or remotely likable or, dare we ask, funny characters to play"

David Wiegand: SFGATE
