A hilarious reflection on the process of making a pilot and the state of the TV industry in general. The script, characters and performance style provide a brilliant, subtle humour (far more convincing than the slapstick and gross-out styles that can be found on other projects that Judd Apatow has been involved with). The characters will absorb you instantly, providing a cross section of the weird and wonderful who decide what goes onto our boxes. As we undergo the making of a pilot TV show, so unravels the effects that this has on those involved, and we can observe the relationship between the characters' TV careers and personal lives (although in some cases this could have been explored deeper). You will find yourself laughing out loud, whilst wincing in pain at the injustice of it all! This cringe-worthy comedy is a must-see for anyone who enjoys television!
