It’s hard to pass judgment on a show that has only aired two episodes, especially when the pilot was a funny introduction to the series at best. With Episodes, however, there are only seven episodes in the first season, so we’re basically a third of the way done already.
The reason I bring this up is because the second episode doesn’t add anything other than pure reinforcement of the themes introduced in the first episode: Hollywood is filled with fake people, of whom many are stupid and/or clueless, but seem normal at first. Sean and Beverly meet Matt LeBlanc, go to Merc’s house, and have their show torn apart and reformed into a unrecognizable monstrosity. Outside of the lengthy introduction to Matt LeBlanc, there’s nothing new, and even LeBlanc is exactly what you’d expect.
In line with the rest of the episode, the gate security gag happens again–the exact same way each time except for the last, when Beverly goes ballistic. Okay, now can we get on with everything?
Score: 8.3/10
