Redundant and unnecessary.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

So original and funny. I love all the characters in the show and the writing is so clever. Matt Le Blanc is fantastic. I love this show. Everything about it.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much out of this show. All I knew about it going into it was that it starred Matt LeBlanc as a fictionalized version of himself. I knew nothing about the premise of the show or the other actors in it. I saw that it was on Netflix and decided to give it a whirl. What I found was a decent comedy with jokes that mostly hit but can miss sometimes, very adult oriented themes (with nudity and simulated sex in some episodes and a plethora of sex jokes through the entire series [seriously, did we really need to hear all those jokes about LeBlanc's...erm, large set of tools?]), and a very unique satirization of what goes on behind the scenes when writing and producing a television series. I think that's actually my favorite part. The actors all give wonderful and believable performances. I definitely would not recommend this series for anyone under the age of 16, but if you're comfortable with a lot (and I really do mean a lot) of adult humor and a surprisingly sophisticated plot about the corruption of Hollywood executives and actors, this show is for you. I'd watch it again.

EpisodesNot much shows nowadays, walks on smart comedy and more importantly keeps it to the point and these are the reasons why it stands alone and will be a bit eerie to encounter by the normal sitcom viewer. David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik's vision seems wide and is approached too with appropriate care and understanding of the whole tone and the 'backstage' world they have projected in here. Matt Le Blanc in the centre of it is doing some of his career's best work in here and is supported too with a great cast like Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan. Episodes is not your usual sitcom that takes its time to prove a point; its hits fast, hard and even brutal sometime along with a proper understanding of character development that arcs its way up perfectly to the mark.

LeBlanc makes this show hilarious. This just hit Netflix and I've binged on these fast for the first time. Fantastic writing and the cast was great.
