A comprehensive show review ...will definitely be missed.
Well, that was it a six years journey of a possibly real-life LeBlanc sarcastic life style and we really loved it.
Oh, i can't believe it is over, The finale was expectedly not a huge boom but it was so real and gave us the conclusion on how this show is probably would've been made in the first place... with that tense relationship between writers and actors.
The show had its ups and downs but it was with no hesitations on of the most consistent, funniest and real shows I've watched over the last 6 years, it had that sense of tense comedy blooming out of normal daily Hollywood routine, so you couldn't help yourself but laugh at their struggle "on getting richer and making more money" lol.. but overall the whole show was a new genuine idea and it kept the fast comedy style rhythm at high level and that showed with the high ratings all along the season.
The cast well, i don't think there's need to talk about the cast more, Matt was amaaaazing by showing the "real" typical Hollywood stars lifestyle and with both Stephen Mangan and Sean Lincoln they all created an unforgettable image that definitely showed Mr.LeBlanc as much more than just a "Joey" and he is... the other characters were all amazing, engaging and convincing ,, so a round of applause.
A one separate line of appreciation goes to David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik the creators and writers of the show .. i mean man !!! that was a real success that couldn't get any bigger, bravo.
Finally i'd again salute the Full Cast & Crew for giving us such a a breath of fresh air that we loved and happily lived with for the past few years.

Perfect finale doesn't quite cut it!
I will admit, I was dubious going into this final episode, as I have loved the show from the start. But I must admit, I thought one of my favourite shows was going to be given an,"unworthy" ending. Boy was I wrong! From being fans of the Green Wing, Friday Night Dinner and a beloved fan of Episodes, my hat is off and tipped. This show belonged on showtime, and thank you to showtime for letting such a show entertain us. No gratuitous nudity, I know, but plenty of swearing from Bev & Sean, who do make cursing sound like "a cup o' tea". But going into this episode knowing it was the finale, I didn't really know what to expect.. I have to admit, I thought it was absolutely Perfect! Thank you all involved. A show I will re-watch when I want a guaranteed laugh.
The Final Episode
The final episode of Episodes continues with a final cynical look of life as a Hollywood writer.
It seems like it was such a long time ago when the late Richard Griffiths played a cameo in the first episode as the actor who had to audition for a role in a proposed US sitcom. It was a role he played in the UK for years only to be usurped by Matt Le Blanc for the US remake. It should not be forgotten that Griffiths role was actually based on himself when it came to his role in the hit stage play The History Boys.
It finally dawns on Sean just what a selfish turd Matt actually is when he passed on the show that Matt helped create. Both Matt and Beverly confront Matt and tell him exactly what they think off him while Lapidus looks on cheerfully.
The episode loses impetus in a long scene where Carol and Helen sort out their differences.
However Sean uses his new experiences in Hollywood for an idea for a bitter, cynical new show. However backstabbing Matt can never be written off when a good script is doing the rounds.
A nice end to the series, but to me id did not quiet go out with a bang which it was promising to do early on in the episode.

Farewell Episodes
Dark and sweary it may have been but the quality of the performances given throughout this shows 5 year run cannot be questioned.
This final episode wraps things up nicely, and is beautifully meta right to the end.
