This show has a lot of talent behind it... and Matt LeBlanc (which is the running joke in the show thus far). I am a huge fan of British comedies and the two leads; Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan, are both from a great British hour-long sitcom called Green Wing, which can best be described as Scrubs on crack. Greig has also been in Black Books, and even had a cameo in Shaun of the Dead, and I have been a fan of her's for years! In this series, Grieg and Mangan play a pair of married writers, coming off of a hit show in Britain, and are asked to come to Hollywood and adapt their show for an American audience. Over the course of the first few episodes, the show has already made it clear that their version of Hollywood isn't filled with glitz and glamor, but with lies and ass-kissers. The staff at the network are all plastic yes-men, and the exec in charge lives in a bubble where he is all that matters and the rest of the world is there to suit his needs and make him more money. All the while, we see these two Hollywood transplants seeing what's really behind the curtain in this town and reacting in a way that is a little predictable at times, but still very fun and entertaining!
I give Episodes a 4 outta 5.
