Hilarious culture-clash take on two British screenwriters who crash land in Hollywood to adapt their award-winning sitcom for the US. This is "The Office" cringe humor meets "The Player" showbiz absurdity.
The two leads Stephen Mangan and Tasmin Greig do a finely nuanced job as the bewildered Londoners in the seductive yet soul-twisting Lala Land. And Matt LeBlanc does a great dry-witted, Golden Globe Award-winning spoof of himself.
The show also lies in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" territory with its behind-the-scenes glimpse into a cynical studio system where celebrity clout, personal politics and petty vanities trump artistic integrity at every turn.
Worth a look-see.
