A great episode
by studioAT2017-07-25
10/10

"The brilliance of these early episodes of 'Studio 60' is quite astounding. From the quality of the acting by Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford, backed up by such a stellar ensemble cast, combined with the writing of Aaron Sorkin - this show was fantastic. There are so many great scenes here, but the final sequence at the wrap party with 'Will you still love me?' playing is a personal highlight. It's testament to both the writing and the acting that the dynamic between Matt and Danny feels so strong when you consider that this is only the third episode of the series...."

💡 Did You Know?

In conversation with Jordan, Jack quotes from Stephen Sondheim's 1981 musical, "Merrily We Roll Along": "It's called thieves get rich and saints get shot. It's called God don't answer prayers a lot." The musical is about the fortunes of a writer and a producer in Hollywood.
