The Studio

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.

I've been looking forward to The Studio ever since I first heard about it. I had huge expectations considering how great the cast is and I can say without a doubt that this series not only met those expectations but surpassed them in every way. I personally like Seth Rogen but this isn't his normal humor so even if you don't like his usual stuff, you should enjoy this show. This is right there with the best stuff Rogen has ever done. It actually might be his best. It's not just Rogen that shines either, the entire cast is brilliant. The cameos in this is full of A-list celebrities that makes the show just that much better. It's satire on the depiction of Hollywood is spot on. Even though it's a comedy, it's true to the point of how Hollywood continues to put out junk and not care as long as it keeps making money. It's easily one of the best new shows of 2025...it was absolutely hilarious. Each episode will literally make you laugh out loud. They already renewed it for another season so I hope they plan on doing several more seasons after that too.

I'll be very sad if this one doesn't come back for another season. Nevertheless, I imagine the showrunners have been thrilled to see their work faithfully spring to life, vision in-tact. Very seldom do you watch a show free of a blemish episode here and there... such is not the case with The Studio. From beginning to finale, every episode is a standalone wild ride to somewhere new. Whether you are a fan of Seth Rogen or otherwise, so long as you share even a tenth of this show's love of television and cinema you will find The Studio to be a worthwhile watch. Come not for any overarching storyline or plot but for the old school Hollywood ride.

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.
