Man Seeking Woman

I insist that people that don't enjoy this show simply don't understand it, or are irrevocably too old to ever enjoy it properly.

The show grapples with the normal complications associated with dating in your 20s, but with gigantic exaggerated versions of every minute obstacle that one faces. A simple issue is represented by an extreme exemplification of itself in that every aspect of social awkwardness is transformed into a seemingly real horror show. It's brutally hysterical, as long as you are the right age to understand it. Maybe impossible to get into if you're older than 40.

single and just out of college? this program knows what you might be going through and turns it into totally absurd comedy satire

**PERTAINING TO THE BAD REVIEWS OF THIS TITLE ON IMDb**

Although the sample size might not be big enough, it seems like the bad reviews of this program on IMDb are exclusively written from non-American accounts. Maybe the writing of this show is just not destined to do well in foreign lands.

**MAIN OPINION**

While the show is way over the top, I think if you just relax and don't take it seriously, that's what makes it hilarious. Constantly the show might fool you into thinking Josh is in some sort of dream or day-dream when this is the shows reality; from a blind date with an actual troll to sitting with America's council of defense contemplating what the contents of his text should be to a girl he met on the train, this show is goofy is heck darn it.

**THE PILOT**

So often pilots are so crammed with exposition of the characters and the main driving force of the show or plot that good writing can be hard to find in a comedy. This is a good example of what a pilot can be. I was able to learn the role of each character without them being force fed to me. And I got to chuckle throughout the episode. Comparing the first episode to the rest of the season, it's very consistent, meaning you should probably be able to tell if the show is or isn't for you just by watching the pilot.

This show is absolutely one of the stupidest things I have ever seen yet it is incredibly funny and insightful. It's not just a brain dead spoof show. The creators have put a lot of thought into the concept and execution. The cast included.

It may seem a little extreme but who hasn't faced some of these emotions and felt that their world was going to end. People naturally have a tendency to overreact. All they have done is turned it into a literal representation. Each episode I find myself relating to his angst and uncertainty. It's ridiculous but comically realistic.

And don't be confused into thinking it's a laugh riot as the humour is more intelligent than that. It won't be for everyone but everyone should be able to relate.

First off, stop reading about this show, just watch it, go in knowing nothing. I had never seen anything besides a couple random 15 second ads for the show that didn't make sense at the time, but now it all clicks. I have never laughed so hard at a premier of a show in my life and I was watching it by myself and sober (though I do think that might be the ideal way to watch this show as it somehow adds to it all).

If you're a male in your 20s you will have no problem relating to this show, though everyone will find something to relate to just the further away you are from that benchmark the less you might relate. I'll admit I fall into that bucket and the show just hits everything on the head.

I'll be very interested to see how this show progresses because it is so extremely novel one does fear it might run out things to cover. I've yet to see signs of that, but I'm only 4 episodes in. So we'll see, I remain hopeful, go watch it!

People tend to write exaggerated things about shows they love, so when others watch it they get frustrated by the bench mark set. this show is not friends or will and grace or seinfeld. its something new. it is very creative. it doesn't drop the ball and make you lose interest after a while. some how , really don't know how, but some how found a way not to be repetitive or boring even though it was just about dating. guess its stuff we see in other people with a huge magnifying glass thats wha the show did for me. try it. this was all i had to say but unfortunately IMDb requires more lines in order for me to submit. and here you go.
