look at her when they were having sex, it was very matter of fact.

Isn't that how all women look when they have sex? Errr

Laughing out loud

Anyone else really hate the opening titles?

Yes, very much. OOOH A METAPHOR!

I've sat through this entire series and despite finding it crushingly unfunny (around 4 laughs so far) I've strangely enjoyed watching it. I would class it as a comedy drama that fails to be dramatic or comedic.

I seem to have heard the theme music and the incidental music somewhere before, and I think it is used on the ITV show 'Benidorm'. Does anyone else recognise that parping trombone music as being used Benidorm?

Any suggestions for how it all ends? And will there be a second series? I hope so. Wave

I hope not. Not because it's awful, but because it would be too similar to the superior Extras.

Given that it never took Ricky Gervais out of his limited comfort zone (very much like James Corden), I've really found the appeal and acting of Episodes far more polished than 'Extras' and funnier too.

You've found this funnier than Extras? I quite enjoy this, but it's not all that funny.

Whenever I watched 'Extras' it was like watching 'The Office' and after a while it got old and predictable. 'Episodes' continuously offered a freshness and stella ensemble cast contributions. It wasn't always perfect but it was funny and I'll be sad when it all comes to an end next week.

Extras is better than Episodes.

Baumski is wrong on this one. Extras is better than Episodes.

Griff's right on this one. Despite the wildly uneven and self-hating quality of Extras, it still managed to deliver laughs. And plenty of them. Episodes has been extremely watchable but pretty laugh-lite.

Word to your collective mothers (except Baumski's).

Damn, you guys take no prisoners.

Hey, we respect your opinion.. we just think it's wrong :D
