    Episodes has a sly subversiveness that deepens over time, like mercury poisoning: it's an adult farce that is at once frothy and acerbic.

    It has more heart than I first credited it with, and the season-long arc involving Sean and Beverly is both funny and touching.

    The show is not just about the struggle between the good and the mediocre, it is itself a struggle between the good and the mediocre.

    Already saw season 2 on the BBC. I will watch season 3 and agreed with the general direction of the show. However this show is missing something and I fear it will only get worse. Good acting overall, just a show about an unsuccessful show..Stuck!… Expand
