91[A] terrific second season of this industry-set sitcom. [17/24 Aug 2012, p.109]
-
91It's a thoroughly entertaining romp, with the television industry as a combination Tilt-A-Whirl/merry-go-round.
-
88As smartly written as it is played, Episodes offers the comic pleasures, not just of clashing cultures, but of contrasting comic styles.
-
83Still fun, but the innocent first moments last season were better.
-
80It has more heart than I first credited it with, and the season-long arc involving Sean and Beverly is both funny and touching.
-
80Episodes has a sly subversiveness that deepens over time, like mercury poisoning: it's an adult farce that is at once frothy and acerbic.
-
80Episodes isn't a weighty series at all, but these actors elevate every scene they are in with spot-on comic timing and a graceful ability to play a range of conflicting emotions at once.
-
80The second season looks to be equally incisive [as the first]. With heart.
-
75Of the two series [Web Therapy and Episodes], Episodes is the most consistent and polished. It's also the one show that finds a groove and is happy to patter around its middling course.
-
75Season 2 of the Hollywood satire still plays too broad, [...] But Matt LeBlanc's understated performance as himself has gotten even better. [9 Jul 2012, p.36]
-
70Watching things go to hell was great fun. Being stuck in sitcom hell turns out to be a bit more trying.
-
63Episodes continues to tread much of the same ground it covered last season, serving mainly as a satire of Hollywood liars who can't act and actors who don't know how to lie.
-
50The show is not just about the struggle between the good and the mediocre, it is itself a struggle between the good and the mediocre.
-
50A breezy but uninspired half-hour defined by Matt LeBlanc's willingness to portray Matt LeBlanc as a swaggering jerk.
