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!
