this show was exclusively made for movie-poisoned dorks who feel like the fate of the world hangs in the balance of the film industry's existential crisis (aka me and probably also you), but holy shit is it funny. https://t.co/IBvHE1ZZzD

I've seen the entire season of #TheStudio and it is an absolute MUST WATCH for any film fan. It's a hilarious commentary on the industry, with humor that is very on-the-nose and self-referential, and a brilliant lead performance from @Sethrogen. Need more! @AppleTV pic.twitter.com/nNNqch6Tvu

THE STUDIO is absolutely hilarious & absurd! An incredible core cast (Rogen, Hahn, Barinholtz, O'Hara, Wonders, Cranston) with endless A-list cameos; a chaotic peek behind-the-scenes of a fictional Hollywood studio. Think THIS IS THE END meets ENTOURAGE/VEEP, I LOVED it! @AppleTV pic.twitter.com/MlT3X6NMgN

THE STUDIO is one of the sharpest TV comedies in years.

It’s incisive, self-referential, and genuinely brilliant. Stuffed full of insider-y Hollywood commentary, but hilarious enough for outsiders to love too.

I was thinking about that first episode for days. Watch this show. pic.twitter.com/8DsqVuvqGq

THE STUDIO might be one of the best seasons of television I've ever seen?

A love letter to movies & the people who obsess with every "inside baseball" detail.

Reminded me of THE PLAYER, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, ENTOURAGE, THE AFTERPARTY, TROPIC THUNDER & more.

I may or may not have already seen this series and may or may not have laughed my ass off during most of it. 🤫🤫

Surprise cameos galore! There's Sarah Polley, Zoë Kravitz, Greta Lee, and Catherine O'Hara. Plus many more... 😉😉 It's going to be a fun one. #TheStudio https://t.co/LreCh9pOSg pic.twitter.com/WqcFFStQhj

#TheStudio is one of the best comedy series I’ve ever seen. Saw the whole season in just one sitting. It’s sooo fucking good. Intelligent, hilarious & a love letter to all-Hollywood. It’s @Sethrogen’s best work & the cast/special guests, is fantastic. My new favorite series! pic.twitter.com/ls8Y66j71X

Welp, that's all I needed. (Not that I wasn't going to show up for this anyway.)

Premieres tomorrow night!

Looking forward to it

First two episodes dropped!

Looks like 30 Rock for movies on steroids. Looking forward to this

Was episode 2 an actual no cheating oner? Even if not...wow!

Watched the first episode last night. That was incredible.

Not bad. Some good dialogue sounds like it hits close to home in that industry.

Some good references/easter eggs I wasn't aware of from the first two episodes.

Pretty great so far. Episode 2 was so cringey, but incredibly well done

Cameos are nice touch, show got a Curb your enthusiasm feel to it.

The Scorsese cameo and the whole Jonestown thing was hilarious

Yeah lol'ed at that.

Other than Seth Rogen's character not being even remotely believable as a studio head (though I realize that's kind of sort of part of the shtick), and the show giving next to no reason why he was chosen first place (other than he loves movies and wanted the job since he was a kid)... The Studio is pretty damn great.

I absolutely love the 2020s-meets-the-1970s costuming/production design, the cinematography is incredible (seriously, it's better than most modern movies), and yeah, episode two is insane in the best way, while also somehow being a shockingly well executed, meta/technical masterpiece. To the point where I cannot believe they pulled that off, much less attempted it, in only the second episode.

As others have said, this is basically prestige Entourage meets 30 Rock meets Curb Your Enthusiasm, where it feels like every episode has the potential to deliver something truly fun and memorable.

As if there was any question, consider me in.

He and Dax have a fun conversation about that episode and how insane it was to film on the latest Armchair Expert.

Seth in the suit and glasses is looking great...no homo.

I just watched the first episode. I enjoyed it, but I do hope future episodes aren't as frantic. The pacing, with the music, etc. bothered me.

Anyways, I don't know where this will go, but I think Seth's character blew a golden opportunity to release the Kool-Aid movie and the Jonestown movie and setup an epic "Barbenheimer" style showdown.

We had the same thoughts. It was also towards the end of the night and before bed when we started it, so we decided we would try it again when we could handle the frantic pace and story a little bit better.

Just watched the first two episodes. Wow what a hoot. This is so fun and great pokes at Hollywood

Those first two episodes were so good. Loved that they even poked fun at themselves using the one shot.

That one probably hit close to home for a lot of studio execs.

A funny thing about the Jonestown bit, it wasn't actually Kool-aid that they all drank to commit suicide. It was a similar product called flavor aid.

This show is great

It's a great point that they mention right there during the bit

They did? I didn't hear that.

Yeah they definitely said it during the episode
