When a successful British husband-and-wife comedy team are lured by Hollywood to produce a new version of their hit series for a stateside audience, they're initially thrilled at the prospects. But they soon realize what the American execs have in store for their precious show – including replacing the erudite British lead with the quintessential comedy star, Matt LeBlanc – and begin to sink deeper into the quicksand that is the TV business. Before long it's clear that not just the couple's show is at stake, but perhaps even their marriage.

This show and it's amazing cast will be truly missed. Perfect and hilarious from start to finish.
Started to watch an episode of Episodes today. Uggh! It's awful. So much junk on TV and this is the top of the pile.
I've watched this because my girlfriend watched it when we lived apart. Now we have lived together a while, now getting round to catching up so we can see the season she hasn't seen together. I love the 2 green wing actors, but thought a sitcom, at that time of night, with Matt from Friends? Sounded cheesy crap for mums.it's actually pretty good!
@fdesmedt it's because Showtime and the BBC air it at different times. I think it's a week or two ahead in the UK.
The calendar seems completely wrong here
I'm crying with laughter every episode, great show.
@furbul Hell Yeah.
renewed :DD
@kakature @Foxhound I would indeed go for BBC as network. I feel that this site should always list the earliest airdate as the date it airs. Episodes is a special case, but it still airs first in the UK.
I think the US dates are more correct. The network is still listed as Showtime. And with Showtime being a US network, it should show the US dates. In my humble opinion.
Can this please get switched back already? UK airs it first, so it should be their airdate.
Looks like it's been switched back to the US airdates.
Indeed, it has to be fixed. I already watched 2x01.
This needs fixing. It started yesterday on BBC
Season 2 premieres next week in UK.
First 2 eps sucked but the others were pretty good.
Yup. I'll probably get torched for saying this, but Friends was the most overrated television show of the last couple of decades.
I wasn't expecting it to be fantastic or anything. I trust a show rating on this site more than an award actually.
I was surprised that Matt LeBlanc won an award in the first place to be honest. The only character he can do is Joey, and this show proves it.
That's why you don't base your opinions on award shows. Especially the Golden Globes.
Matt LeBlanc won a Golden Globe for this? I must check this out.
Edit: watched the first two episodes. He really didn't deserve that Golden Globe. His character isn't anything special, he's just himself with a bit of Joey..
Don't understand why the show was nominated either, half of the jokes aren't funny and the pace is slow.
