Episodes

Episodes is currently streaming in the US on Spectrum On Demand, and in the UK on BBC iPlayer, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. 5 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. 206 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Matt LeBlanc is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Put it on tonight on Spectrum On Demand and see for yourself.

There is a reason Episodes keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Episodes land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A British husband-and-wife comedy writing team travel to Hollywood to remake their successful British TV series, with disastrous results. Between them, Matt LeBlanc and Tamsin Greig carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 5 seasons (2011–2017), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The timing in Episodes is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Episodes respects your intelligence. Shifting Gears is the obvious comparison, but Episodes earns its own place alongside it. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Matt LeBlanc is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

Episodes wrapped up in 2017, created by David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik — and 5 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
