The Studio poster

The Studio is a sharp Hollywood satire from Apple TV+ starring Seth Rogen as Matt Remick, a well-meaning but chronically bumbling studio head who careers from crisis to crisis while trying to make meaningful cinema in an industry that only wants safe profit. Directed entirely by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the show blends cringe-comedy mechanics reminiscent of Curb Your Enthusiasm with a rotating roster of A-list celebrity cameos and an ensemble of character actors operating at full pitch. Each episode functions as a largely self-contained set piece, and reviewers consistently praise the whip-smart dialogue, cinematic direction, and the surprising depth beneath the comedy. It's aimed at viewers who appreciate intelligent, self-aware satire with genuine laugh-out-loud construction.

From the reviewers

The pacing, the visual timing of the jokes, the stylish flourishes - it's clear this isn't just a funny show, it's a well-made one. Seth Rogen has crafted something that's not only hilarious but cinematic and fresh.
The constant movement and loud, intrusive sound design-the drumrolls and exaggerated sound effects-don't feel like a stylistic choice. They feel like a crutch, an attempt to hide the lack of genuine wit or character depth.
The cameos in this show are excellent. Rogan & Goldberg clearly have a lot of fans in the community, and pull off an Entourage-number of cameos that enhance the episode they're in.
It's satire on the depiction of Hollywood is spot on. Even though it's a comedy, it's true to the point of how Hollywood continues to put out junk and not care as long as it keeps making money.
I'm 15 minutes into the first episode and I feel like I'm slightly transported back to Birdman (one of my favorite movies). Antonio Sánchez does his thing with the music, also the camera tracking seems to have the same style.
