Together

I loved this unassuming little show - funny storylines and characters with a really cute budding romance tying it all together. I wish there were more than six episodes, but I love the ones we got and it ended quite well :-)

I THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE THIS. THE CONCEPT SEEMED CUTE AND THE 2 MAIN CHARACTERS STARTED OUT QUIRKY SO I HAD GREAT EXPECTATIONS. IF IT WEREN' T FOR THE FACT THAT I WATCHED "STETH LETS FLATS" AND I ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT A ONE STAR COMEDY IS, THEN THIS WOULD BE A ONE STAR. HOWEVER, SINCE THERE IS ACTUALLY A SHOW WORSE THAN "TOGETHER" I GNEROUSLY GAVE THIS 2 STARS.

ALEX MACQUEEN'S CHARACTER RUINS THIS SHOW. HE IS IN WAY TOO MANY SCENES AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS MUCH OF ONE OF HIS USUAL STOOPID ANNOYING CHARACTERS THIS MUCH OF THE TIME ON SCREEN. JONNY SWEET IS A HORRIBLE WRITER AND WOULDN'T KNOW FUNNY IF IT SLAPPED HIM ACROSS THE FACE. HE CAN'T EVEN MAKE HIS OWN CHARACTER FUNNY. IN FACT, IT SEEMS HE IS BETTER AT WRITING FEMALE CHARACTERS BECAUSE IF THERE IS ANY SLIGHT HUMOR THAT WORKS IT IS HERMIONE, ELLEN, MAEVE AND THE MOTHER WHO HAVE ANY FUNNY LINES.

I MADE IT THROUGH 4 EPISODES AND IT NEVER GOT BETTER BUT TRULY GETS LESS FUNNY. THAT'S BAD WHEN YOU ARE STARTING AT ZERO FUNNY.

LOOK FOR ANYTHING ELSE TO WATCH.

Tom Hydale is a twenty something, live at home fellow who falls for unlucky at love Ellen in a genuinely sweet tempered comedy that makes us root for these underdogs, even as their budding romance is menaced by Ellen's needy roommate Hermione and Tom's eccentric parents Ashley and Lesley. Johnny Sweet, who plays Tom, gives his character a vulnerability that is most appealing. He's constantly being hectored by his less than supportive parents. The parents are played very broadly, to the point that their scenes are almost painful to watch. It's one weak element in an otherwise charming comedy
