The Studio, Apple TV+

After too many box office flops, head of Continental Studio Patty Leigh is replaced by her 2IC, film buff Matt Remick. His lofty artistic ambitions are immediately quashed by company overlord and dinosaur philistine Griffin Mill. In 10 short episodes of painful farce Matt navigates the commercial pressure to succeed and the vagaries of creatives, often tripping over his own fragile ego. Seth Rogan’s affectionate excoriation of Hollywood is in the style of The Office, excruciating and all too believable entertainment. It features an incredible array of directors and actors playing (often nasty) versions of themselves, including Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Olivia Wilde and Zoe Kravitz. They and the stellar cast all have far too much fun, especially in the last two very self-indulgent episodes.
