Best60series — 34 Matt Leblan hasn't acted in 5 years. 5 years after Friends and Joey, he lay on the stove and waited. Career Aniston, Cox, less successful Perry, and even Kudrow with Schwimmer, who suddenly became a director. And LeBlanc was obviously waiting for Episodes because this show is 100% his big comeback. Funny, but not stupid, original, witty, touching, resourceful. It is both a confession of love and exposure.
A husband and wife, two English screenwriters, come to America to shoot a remake of their super successful English series about schoolchildren. In the process, their clever and subtle story turns into a buffoon as usual in America. The series is already about hockey players, starring - Joey!, from the subtlety of humor remained horns and legs. And people in Hollywood, to put it mildly, all with their hordes of cockroaches in their heads and a fake smile on top of everything.
And now season 4 we watch the ordeal of poor Englishmen, laugh at really funny jokes and comic situations, fall in love even more with LeBlanc, although he is here, playing himself, rather a negative hero, learn the underside of Hollywood TV production and much more.
The first season of the show accelerated, the second stalled, in the third and fourth, but met all expectations. I will not reveal the plot moves, I will also describe very bright secondary characters. I have to talk about actors. Englishmen Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig perfectly play confused intellectuals. It's like Sting's Aliens, Little Aliens. John Pankow is a beautiful and terrible TV producer. And his confused assistant, Carol. And the strange Mira with the eternal expression of squeamishness on her face. And beautiful actress Monin, who is much older than it seems.
And of course, LeBlanc. Handsome! He's so self-ironic, without measure. So imposing and handsome. He understands his adult appeal so well. 5 points for him. He's playing wild.
My advice to those who haven’t seen it!
