Catch Episode starting 11 April, 11pm(HK/SIN) only on FX Asia. So basically, what is Episode all about? It is a sitcom starring Matt LeBlanc (think Joey from F.R.I.E.N.D.S), Stephen Mangan, Tamsin Greig, Mircea Monroe, John Pankow. Episodes is a joint production of BBC and Showtime, with David Crane (also involved in F.R.I.E.N.D.S) behind this series, you could be sure Episodes truly delivers and hit the perfect note. With the best comedian actor from BBC and Matt, Episodes is full of suspension, comedy and humor.
The plot revolves between Sean and Beverly who had won yet another award for their show in the UK, Lyman's Boy…and Merc wants them to reproduce a spin-off in the US (called PLUCKS!). So basically, this is where the story kicks in. One might be a tad confused if they watched the first episode, since it shows you scenes from the future, before coming back to what leads to the fight between the couple. Between the two couple, there are mistrust, hatred and betrayal.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Matt LeBlanc had been signed as one of the lead roles in this Lyman's Boy, to the dismay of Beverly. At the beginning, Beverly had not much of an impression of Matt. However at the end, both Matt and Beverly had sex in Matt's house. However, since Beverly had not much of an impression of Matt, why did they have sex? Basically because the couple (Sean and Beverly) is new in US and had difficulty settling in. Also, Beverly is highly suspicious of Sean having an affair with Morning. Morning is a co-star in PLUCKS! Who had a fabulous figure. And as usual, Beverly bitched about Morning, if she had gone under the knife, how she dressed inappropriately on set (dressing like a little slut with a low cut dress showing all). And when Beverly came to know of her age (which is unbelievable high), with Beverly claiming Morning could be her mother, she grew very jealous with Morning.
Beverly grew more and more suspicious between Morning and her husband, especially so when Morning and Sean were seen laughing and talking. Once, Sean went to a gala with Matt without Beverly (she had refused to attend) and they bumped into Morning. It was at the gala where Matt revealed that Morning used to be a porn star. Sean was caught jerking off to Morning's porn video by Beverly.
And while on the subject of porn stars, Episodes is quite sexual, since there is a scene where Matt headed to the pub with Sean. When Sean asked Matt what would he be if he's not an actor, he said he would be a porn star. Sean is really a bootlicker or sorts, since he replied wittily, "a porn star, and not an actor". And Matt said his penis is long enough to be a porn star. That's not all, where Matt even invited Sean to look at his penis at the toilet in the pub. And Sean did actually see Matt's penis! WTH!!!
One gets to see Matt's portrayal as a joy to watch, with me anticipating to see more of him. One could also get to see a softer side of him, especially so where he lost the custody of his children and Matt felt really sad. That was when Beverly had changed her perception of Matt.
