Lovesick

I just recently found this show on Netflix. The premise wasn't all that appealing - but I was curious. Once I started watching it, I couldn't stop. The writing is witty. The actors are good. It made me laugh. It made me sad. The way the stories develop is amazing. I will be watching it again. It's DELIGHTFUL.

I just want to say that I started and finished this TV show in the lapse of three hours, and I say that in good way because it means I couldn't stop watching episode after episode. I didn't even realize I was on the last chapter until it ended and there were no more chapters left. I literally started crying when I saw thee were no more chapters so I had to go on Wikipedia to find out if there was a second season on the making (there is). Seriously, this just takes a few hours to finish and it is really worth it. Much more than just a romantic comedy. Btw, I literally just made this IMDb account so I could write this review. I've recommended this to many of my friends and I searched for the reviews on here to see if anyone felt the same way and I just thought to myself, I really need to let others know how good this TV show was. I hope I could tell the writer and actors and directors how good their work is. I can't wait for the second season!

The three main characters are written and played brilliantly. The plot line is very funny and the twists and turns really well done. The "nice" lad is so likable and the "bad" lad is too. We shouldn't but we just can't help liking him. I can't wait to see more of this, it's the best new comedy for yonks and has everything; including an absolutely gorgeous Evie, who is to die for.

There's a real mix of comedy, ranging from slapstick, through farce to nice little sarcastic lines which hit the target wonderfully well. All tied up within a love story waiting to happen; or is it? This has the potential to run for a long time but strangely, it would probably be better if it didn't. The tension would be unbearable if it remains unbroken for too long.

Watch it everyone; it's superb stuff

I feel like this show's title will be its undoing. As though it was a joke title that the writers were using until they came up with something better.

I expected the show to be a silly, shallow recap of some guy improbably diddling his way through a bunch of women while joking about it with his bros.

But I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are likable and have depth and the writing and acting is quite good as well. The final episode ends on a bit of a cliffhanger that the first five shows were leading up to. It would be nice to see Netflix approve a second season so we can see where this goes.

A lot of other comments have given this show a bad review while specifying that they have only watched the first episode. After the first episode I was also on the fence, but having watched the first 5 episodes I understand and appreciate the direction this show is going. The characters are developed, the plot is relatable and funny, and the style of the show (ie, flashbacks to partners) is very well done. I would challenge viewers to watch more than just the first episode in order to truly appreciate this one. It's by no means on par with Arrested Development, but that is hard to accomplish with a comedy. However, I do think it is much better written and acted than most of the 'comedies' on network TV - in that the acting and humor feel raw and real.
