Synopsis
The final run of Episodes (2011), Season 5, is here to watch online on iFILM — seven episodes that send this Hollywood tragicomedy off for good. Matt's game show "The Box" has turned into a runaway hit, and the price of that success is dealing with his loathsome producer, Merc Lapidus, every single day.
Fame is back, and so are the bad habits. A recording of Matt's tryst with Danika leaks online, and no amount of spin can bury it. He cashes in his new celebrity for a series guarantee from the network and tries to lure Sean and Beverly away from the clingy Tim — only to demand a writing credit the moment the show takes shape, which tips the trio into an ugly feud. Alongside it, Carol discovers she's pregnant by Merc, and the news finally forces Beverly to tell her the whole truth.
Seven episodes, shorter than the seasons before, and David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik steer them toward a quiet, faintly sad goodbye: success comes and goes, but this ridiculous trio has worn grooves into each other over the years. LeBlanc plays his last exit without a shred of self-pity. A fitting close for anyone who stuck with the show. Stream Episodes Season 5 online on iFILM.
