DVD Description
Matt LeBlanc plays a deliciously outrageous version of himself in this laugh-out-loud comedy from creators David Crane (Friends) and Jeffrey Klarik (Mad About You). Episodes offers a peek behind the curtain at the insanity of Hollywood. You’ll never watch TV the same way again.
Sean (Stephen Mangan) and Beverly (Tamsin Grieg) are a happily married English couple, who are also the successful creators of a hit British TV show. Their life seems complete. That is until a hugely powerful and charismatic US network president persuades them to move to LA to remake their show for American television. He’s full of praise and promises “not to change a thing”.
However, things begin to unravel as soon as Sean and Beverly arrive in LA. They discover that the network president has never even seen their show. To make matters worse, he insists that they replace their brilliant lead actor (Richard Griffiths), an erudite Royal Shakespeare veteran with... Matt LeBlanc! Sean and Beverly are appalled. But the decision is out of their hands. Matt comes on board, and soon Sean and Beverly find themselves in a complicated triangle which threatens to destroy not just their TV show but also their marriage.

Format:DVD
An absolutely fantastic series! Ignore the critics and check it out. As others have already said, not strictly a sit-com, but that isn't a bad thing. It feels far more 'adult' than a sit-com - if that makes any sense - and the acting from all three main leads is brilliant. Matt LeBlanc is especially good, throwing in more than the odd reference to Friends and 'Joey' - which, as a masssive Friends fan (don't let that fact influence your opinion of this review) made me smile.
Really, really good show - strong performances, shot beautifully, and great story/character development.

Watched the series on TV and had to get it on DVD, it's funny and the best new series I have watched in ages, so now I can watch re-runs until the next series starts. Lots of my friends missed it so the disc is now doing the rounds. Didn't know if I could watch Matt Le Blanc without seeing Joey, but he and the whole cast were great. If you are offended by swearing then you need to pass on this!!

Matt LeBlanc is rude, awkward, not funny
In Episodes Matt LeBlanc is rude and not funny. Gags are awkward.
If you are a fan of Friends like myself this is NOT for you.

Ignore the critics
The professional critics, the majority of whom did not rate this show, could only have watched the first episode. Read more

'episodes' is a must see
great stuff, wonderful actors, hilarious story. I'm in love with Tamsin Greig. Watch the series 'Green Wing' for more cruel and terribly funny stuff.

Unpleasant surprise
Being a bit of a fan of 2 of the 3 lead actors, I persevered with this series for 3 episodes before declaring it unwatchable. Read more
