Product 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.

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!!

I just love Episodes
It's cringe worthy, it's full of bad language, it makes you feel uncomfortable at times and that is why it is so very, very good.
If you missed this rent it, it's so worth it.

Time killer
Fine as a time killer, no real substance to the story line and the characters are too unbelievable in their far fetched persona, trying to appease two markets, and missing with... Read more

I wonder if this ship has a pub?
I struggled to make it past episode three of this series and failed. I was attracted to the idea of a British vehicle for Matt LeBlanc set in America but despite it starring very... Read more

Just 2.0 Stereo
I should have stayed with what my friends advised me - a pirate rip with full 5.1 sound. Instead I went my usual legal way and ordered this. To only get 2.0 Stereo soundtrack. Read more
