Is Episodes a good show?
Episodes is not a conventional comedy, but is indeed funny!! This show is very clever doing what it does. The only reason some people don’t like it is that their sense of humour is skewed, being a mix of the British and American genres. It’s extremely well-written and the cast is terrific.
Is Episodes based on real life?
There are parts based on me, but what they will do is take something that is really about my life that is a seed and grow it into this bush of an idea. Where it goes is based on that seed, it is not what really happens – my life is not that interesting.”
