Why it matters
Episode guide
10 episodes across 1 seasons — titles, air dates, and synopses.
At a glance
Newly installed movie-studio head Matt Remick tries to protect art (and his job) inside corporate chaos, celebrity ego, and boardroom farce. Seth Rogen stars and co-creates with Evan Goldberg and a writers' room that roasts Hollywood from the executive floor. Catherine O'Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, and a murderers' row of industry types keep the panic buoyant. It is Peak Hollywood self-mythology as comedy. Apple TV+ turned the roast into an awards steamroller.
