Kevin from Work

The pilot looked good,, the Idea of the series was mostly brought out of a the Rom-Com movie styles but here in a short fast comedy with a full-on powerful romantic scene in the final couple of scenes .. make you so pushed to want more of that same story and so eager to know what's to be happening next !!! you kinda feel for "Kevin" and his slap of bad luck he's getting in all of his life matters ..

Barbie Adler is a really good writer but even a better producer as she did almost 50 episodes of "How I Met Your Mother" ... i bet you could whiff a bit of that style scent and some other episodes of "My Name Is Earl" so she doesn't need my validation on her job ... but doesn't mean the script should't get any stronger if she needs the show to survive on ABC .

As for the cast they're all well picked Noah Reid with that stressed out fearful fast comedy and his face is fresh on the screen so bravo .. and indeed the comedy bits from the other characters like that trainer and the guy in the office and the boss .. i'd really love to see more effective bits from them .

So overall ,, the series started on a strong foot ,, it's Genre is comedy so the comedy needs to be flowing and not allow the romance to overpower it ... noting that the romance her is so powerful and necessary but the comedy comes first.

Sometimes I think we take ourselves too seriously, especially where comedy is concerned. If I hadn't decided a long time ago to ignore critics and judge movies and TV shows for myself, I would have missed out on a lot of great movie/television experiences.

So it's not the best comedy show out there, but honestly, true comedy in television rarely exists. Nowadays, if it isn't overtly sexual or just downright vulgar, it isn't funny. A good show doesn't always have to have flesh, sex, lies and cheating to be a good show. So over those right now. This show is the closest thing to "clean" comedy I have seen in a long time, and I sincerely hope it is renewed for another season.

I just watched the first episode, and since I won't be watching any more I'll just review that.

The main problem was that it wasn't very funny, which is always a big problem in comedies. It was all jokes I've seen before done better, with an episode on cringe comedy. I don't think I laughed out loud once.

The leads are reasonably likable, but the series is a little too fond of stereotypes, and though created by a woman indulges in slut-shaming (probably less because it objects to sexual women and more because the show is fond of easy jokes and stereotypes (and no I don't give it a pass for a weak attempt to mock TV stereotypes).

One positive thing I will mention is the movie has a couple of really clever transitions between scenes that were clearly filmed live. It's the sort of thing you'd expect from some cool indie film. There a little out of place in such a dumb episode, but I give the director credit for putting them in.

I very love the movie, after seen the trailer on Star World channel, and i started watching it, turn out loving it, more than any movie that i ever watched, because it remind of me, i been through like Kev, and now i'm still working with my "hopefully" future girlfriend, and waiting for her crazy stupid boyfriend of her to break up, even though its been like 4 years, watching this movie make me feel better that someone been through all of this like me, and i'm waiting for Season 2, i don't even waiting for Avenger 3 or even Batman vs Superman, need this series keep going, because i only watch this movie when i'm done working everyday, its make me feel better, and funny is for the first time i ever find a movie that remind me of myself, waiting for Season 2, please make it fast, thank you.

After reading some reviews bagging the show, it's basically forced my hand into writing a review (which I don't really do...).

To be completely honest, I wasn't sure how I felt about it at the beginning of the pilot, but the characters grew on me and I'm now quite fond of them. Some of the lines (especially with their witty delivery) I found hilarious and after watching 3 episodes, am eagerly waiting to see more.

I think it's worth a watch - I find it great for unwinding after work and not having to think too hard, but if you pay attention you'll notice the more subtle humour that might be overlooked by some of the more obvious laugh lines.
