Cheaters

Cheaters is a serious gem and that first episode is one of the best hooks ever! The complicated relationship between Josh and Fola is a fantastic and the comedy stems largely from their downright bizarre situation between them and their other halves. This show doesn't pull its punches, my jaw dropped with one scene in particular. It was a serious 'they really went there' moment.

What I loved the most about this series is how down to Earth it felt. None of the characters felt like caricatures, or looked like typical Hollywood movie stars. Just real people with real issues looking for an actual connection. However, I must say that this doesn't apply to Callie Cooke's Esther, who was so annoying and cartoonishly stupid that it was hard to empathize with her problems, even when the show does go lengths to try to make you do so, especially when she was the one who cheated on Josh in the first place!

The 10 minute episodes are a perfect length, but ironically, it has led me longing for more. Fingers crossed there's a season 2. I'm not much of a romcom fan, but hopefully Cheaters gets the recognition it deserves!

Cheaters

On the surface this was a collected of small 10 minute sketches about a random liaison. However the script was brilliant, nuanced and dynamic.

The issues examined were clever and varied, we had; boredom within relationships, how do you keep the magic alive when perhaps things have died a death, the frisson of new relationships and the forbidden fun of intrigue.

I loved the whole thing from start to finish, it wasn't perfect, there were some episodes that stretched credulity, but overall it was a great comic rollercoaster. The acting was top notch and the casting agent did a fabulous job.

I'm giving this a firm 7 outta 10 and I await a second series with eagerness!

Loved the 10 minute format, and good fun series to enjoy

Had it all, romance, drama, comedy which is down to all the characters who were so likeable.

... so it goes from a first season of eighteen episodes, to a second having only eight... what happened there... show's lots of fun.. casting really genius... you start off one way thinking about all of them, then by the end you're opposite direction, not believing could be any others playing these marvelous characters

... Cheaters reminds of the 2019 series State of the Union, with Chris O'Dowd and Rosamund Pike, dissecting their failing marriage over drinks before heading off across the street for a counseling session... both shows with episodes only few minutes in length, SOTU with Pike and O'Dowd having higher recognition picked up U. S. Emmys, got completely ignored by BAFTA... definitely being two different shows, yet both showing how good the short format can be.

Loooove this show. If you ever have been in a sexually frustrated relationship, you can definitely connect with several situations here.

Great cast, acting and directing too.
