O Estúdio

I'm 15 minutes into the first episode and I feel like I'm slightly transported back to Birdman (one of my favorite movies). Antonio Sánchez does his thing with the music, also the camera tracking seems to have the same style. I find it interesting that the series begins with so many iconic faces from cinema, it's something that makes film fans (like me) feel more familiar with what this new series proposes, at least it's quite different from the last Seth series I saw (Pam & Tommy). Maybe watching the first fifteen minutes doesn't merit posting a review but that's what I feel, this seems to be a good start, let's see what happens.

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.

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.

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.

I mean it's just really good. Super funny, super fast and so much interesting (for me) commentary on the entertainment industry. The only thing that confused me is that Seth goes from a semi low-level position to a studio head, and the amount of work they do is actually insane. I mean maybe I'm the odd one out on this but I had no idea how insane that job is-and Matt didn't really seem stressed about his experience level. That doesn't really take a way from anything though, and I like the fact that they don't focus on his journey per-say but do so much cool stuff about the reality of filmmaking. The show also has me so stressed.. it's just really well made. Ok everyone else's reviews sound a lot smarter but the cast is mind blowing and I feel like this type of thing hasn't really been done before. A weird feeling you get when watching tv about making tv. No more notes.
