“EPISODE SEVEN” Airs Sunday, February 20 at 9:30 PM on Showtime
Deeply regretting her tryst with Matt (Matt LeBlanc), Beverly (Tamsin Greig) returns home to find Sean (Stephen Mangan) waiting with open arms. As the pilot for the “Pucks!” pilot wraps, Sean and Beverly prepare to return to London. A final goodbye between Matt and Sean, however, takes an unexpected turn involving a missing Jaguar, a red-nosed reindeer and the smell of cinnamon.
This brilliantly funny show wraps up its first season this Sunday in a rather madcap fashion. The laughs have never been at the expense of the characters’ intelligence and Sean reinforces that by quickly putting two and two together to figure out that Matt and Beverly slept together. The ensuing fight between the two men is rather epic. And just when you think that it has all fallen apart and that the show can’t possibly continue, the unexpected, yet somewhat inevitable, happens in the closing moments. We remain cautiously optimistic for another season of what has turned out to be the funniest new sitcom this year.
