O Estúdio

Other reviewers on point, Apple has done it again. I'm in desperate need of comedy, good comedy, and Apple has it. I binged watched 1st three episodes.

Thinking about the show as a metaphor for life and work. Some of us are always trying to please, make people feel good, avoid confrontation until it blows up...we also get to see an environment few of us live in and I relish the fast pace, scenery, sets, and antique cars. Outstanding cast, always loved Rogen, but Catherine O'Hara and Kathryn Hahn esp. Bring the explosive energy and grit. When I finished Shrinking I needed a new comedy, rewatched Schitt's Creek, doesn't disappoint, The Studio has it.

The Studio is another hit in a long line of hits for Apple TV+. Apple has been absolutely killing it with all their shows and The Studio is no different. I knew this was going to be good by the cast alone. What a cast! If leads like Seth Rogen, Catherine O'Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders aren't enough, there are plenty of huge cameos like Martin Scorsese, Zac Efron, Bryan Cranston, Anthony Mackie, Charlize Theron, Paul Dano, Usher, etc. Rogen and Evan Goldberg direct all 10 episodes. This is one of the better shows to come out this year so far and I'd be shocked if this doesn't win a ton of awards come award season. The only negative is that we have to wait a week between shows because this is definitely a show that you want to binge.

The Studio is the closest someone has gotten to Curb Your Enthusiasm spiritually. Don't get me wrong, this show's first season is not as good as Curb's, but it's evident in the way the show is set up that it is slightly mimicking David's style. There's a pattern in the set-up of episodes that I'm on board with.

A few episodes in season 1 have REALLY nailed David's Curb-style humor. The best two episodes of season 1, episodes 6 & 7, delivered on their set-up's most effectively.

There's a beauty in the way each episode operates largely independently of one another. You can watch any episode on its own and enjoy the experience.

The cameos in this show are excellent. Rogan & Goldberg clearly have a lot of fans in the community, and pull off an Entourage-number of cameos that enhance the episode they're in. I deeply enjoy this show and think it will continue improving.

Seth Rogan plays as a new movie studio head in charge of film production for "Continental Studios." This show highlights the film making process and the behind the scenes chaos that occurs. Some episodes are better than others. A few laughs here and there but ultimately the film making education the audience gets with each episode is well worth the watch.

Although this is a comedy, I can imagine a lot of these episodes are inspired by real events or similar problems film makers go through. Seth Rogan does a great job with acting and casting people who sometimes play as themselves. If you like movies I think you'll find this show very interesting and eye opening.

The Studio is nothing short of a comedic masterclass. I went in expecting to laugh (it's Seth Rogen, after all), but I wasn't prepared for just how smart, layered, and downright brilliant this show would be. It's not just funny - it's clever. The kind of funny that sticks with you, with punchlines that land hard and then somehow keep echoing in your head days later.

The characters are instantly lovable, weirdly relatable, and played with such precision and charm that you forget they're actors - it feels like you're eavesdropping on real chaos. And the writing? Absolutely top-tier. Every episode zips by with whip-smart dialogue, hilarious set pieces, and a surprising amount of heart.

But what really blew me away was the direction. The pacing, the visual timing of the jokes, the stylish flourishes - it's clear this isn't just a funny show, it's a well-made one. Seth Rogen has crafted something that's not only hilarious but cinematic and fresh.

Hands down, one of the most original and entertaining comedies I've seen in ages. It's bold, it's brilliant, and it knows exactly what it's doing.
