A brief recap of the premiere
The first episode of the series follows the stressed first assistant director, Daniel (played by Himesh Patel), as he tries to manage the production despite a series of incidents that turn into chaos.
These issues range from boom operators possibly being drunk to actors having panic attacks while wearing fish-man costumes, all of which the show uses to show the craziness of movie-making.
As the movie production is under pressure from the studio to make the film more cheerful, European director Eric Bouchard (played by Daniel Brühl) struggles to keep his artistic vision.
He also has to deal with actors who don't appreciate his eccentric directing style. Adding to the tensions is the unexpected visit of the studio executive Pat Shannon (played by Darren Goldstein), who brings bad news that forces Eric to change his entire plan.
This episode cleverly makes fun of the predictable nature of superhero movies while honoring the talented people working behind the scenes. It ends with Daniel sharing a circus joke that perfectly captures the feeling that no matter how crazy things get, something is fascinating about the world of entertainment.
