I turned 40 this year. My wife and I have been great fans of the show Friends, and we were so disappointed with Joey - even though we got what they were trying to do with it, the show simply felt "off" to us. So you'll understand that with our background and being fans of Matt's work in Friends, we were looking forward to view EPISODES for the first time, but we were also fearful it would be a let-down.
Everything on EPISODES is so well crafted, it's like drinking the finest wine. The writing is impeccable with so many nuances, the acting is flawless from everyone on the show, and the overall experience is a complete hoot! We just finished watching Season 2 - which by the way was even better than Season 1 on so many levels, something I didn't think possible - and already we're sad it's already over. I can't believe this type of show is not on Prime Time public networks.
The blend of British humour with American humour works on so many levels, in great part due to the fantastic comedic timing of all the actors involved on the show. It's true they do have excellent writing material to work with, but in the end, they really bring it alive, and it works so well. Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan form such a great British duo, and the level of subtleties that go into their acting when they are together on screen is a pure joy to watch. Kathleen Rose Perkins' performance deserves a kudos as well for such a colorful performance. And Matt Leblanc really brings his A-game to the show, with a lot of nuances I didn't think him capable of - especially in Season 2.
Overall, great TV Show that deserves a much brighter spotlight than it currently gets. Here's hoping for many more seasons.
