Benders

In comparison to the other comedy TV series on air right now, this does not appear as strong competition. Occasionally some comedic-value will pop-up. Sadly, this doesn't appear to be happening too often.

The pilot episode wasn't really strong, the casting seems fine, they have a lot of potential. Problem is, they seem to be lacking on the material side, some polishing should be done there, at least in my opinion.

This isn't a bad show, get's better as you watch it, and definitely helps to pass time. Problem is, it isn't too memorable and I don't feel a strong push to watch another episode. I'm probably going to give it a few more episodes, hopefully it will get better.

It delivers new comedy material that is expected from a show by Dennis Leary. With a new and not well known cast, their timing and expressions are really enjoyable to watch. Especially in realistic settings it's delightful. Sadly I gotta rewatch the one season they have, would watch more if I could

If i had to give a 1 word description of this show, it would be forgettable. Nothing about this show is intriguing or enjoyable. At first i was excited because i thought it would be a show ABOUT hockey...not a show that shows a few seconds of terrible skaters holding hockey sticks then switches to them getting tossed at a lame bar slinging cheap one liners and mind numbing banter. Actually, a lot of that could be forgiven if the characters were fun to watch but they're just not. I gave it a strong go, i really tried to like what i was seeing but in the end it just became so boring that i gave up. And i just have to say, Karen (Pauls girl) is a terrible human being, just a sh** character all around.

I am in my 50's and played hockey my whole life ~ i was so psyched the day before "benders" was released ~ and then totally let down when started watching season one ! First of all they cannot even skate. If the first two episodes are what the rest of the series is like ~ i might as well go play in my men's league and out drinking after with my fellow teammates, for my life is more funny and realistic than this series. Please get new writers ~ if this series is to continue. It is such a great topic for a good series ~ but you flunked the test already. It is not to late to fix it ! Get out the Zamboni ~ clean the ice and start all over again ~~~ PLEASE ! Get some hard drinking ~ Irish men from Boston suburbs ~ and hire them as actors ~ they will do a better job and it will be Hilarious and a "TRUE STORY". PS Do not hire Mark Wahlberg ~ i do not think he can SKATE !

Not funny whatsoever. Playing 20 years of hockey nothing is accurate, the player stereotypes and the chirps are not even close to the real stuff. They basically gave a team of sub par writers that watch football and basketball $5,000 to write a show that should be canceled after the first season.NO HOCKEY FAN/PLAYER WILL SAY "NO REGRETZKIES." The show is just not good or will ever be good. If you're trying to get angry at a show watch this. There are a lot of quality fall shows on the major networks, and IFC makes a bunch of other great show, watch them, nothing like this show. If there are any positive reviews it is because they live underground and have never spoken to a single person and this the first show they will ever watch. You're better off watching anything else.
