Partners

Partners, by the creators of Will and Grace is a delightful, lightweight, fast paced show full of quips relevant to today. While some of the characters may still be shallow, the show is attempting to find it's footing and "groove" as any new show does.

Partners centers around 4 people, but 3 relationships anchored with the main characters Louis and Joe. The two are partners in architectural firm who consistently delve into each others lives meddling wherever they can. The two, who have a codependent relationship are trying to navigate their own relationships while maintaining their friendship. Often, one crosses the line and there is a conflict which by the end resolves itself in a "I only meant to help" type of way. The two main characters are flanked by each of their respective lovers who despite Joe and Louis's codependency, are there along for the ride and usually being the receivers of misguided actions.

Of course, the bar is already very high, with this show being considered the "Will and Grace" of today, it hasn't established the depth of story or emotional ties that we all had while watching WAG.

Hopefully, the writers will anchor the character's down and establish a theme for the show that is as emotional and relate-able as their previous work. The show fills a niche that had long since been forgotten with groundbreaking sitcoms and will definitely give you a laugh!

I disagree with the first review. As someone who found Will and Grace rather too full of innuendo, and cringingly overt references and puns tucked into every single phrase uttered, I quite like this new offering from KoMut. Here it seems much easier and so much less forced - two regular guys, one silly and one more responsible, who just happen to fancy opposite sexes. Its easy, its fun, its not trying too hard.

Also, I guess I love both characters from watching Ugly Betty and nUMBERS so maybe I am biased.

I do however hope there's more character development and that they get out of that office!.

I don't like any of the supporting characters - the boyfriend and both girls are tedious to watch - no chemistry - and the opening music and clapping in-between scenes - GRATES!

All in all, its a mildly amusing lighthearted show and exactly what I'd love to snuggle on the sofa to watch after a hard day.

I'm giving this a generous 10 first of all because this is by the creators of Will and Grace, to this day my favorite sitcom of all time, and secondly because I would love another 8 seasons of witty one-liners, characters that grow on you until they've taken such a place in your life (yes, even when you have one) it actually hurts to say goodbye. This starts out as good as Will and Grace did, Jim Burrows came back to the party, now let's hope Wyatt is Jack's distant cousin and Jack and auntie Karen will drop by sometimes. Anyways, Will and Grace references put aside, I think the premise is fairly original, even a great train for the world to get on board with, and a great example for straight boys who may find a friend in a fagela instead of a threat to their "masculinity". Now morality put aside: bring the laughter, giggles and fun.

I don't often watch new shows; I wait until they've been on a season or two, have heard about it from all my friends, and feel compelled to catch up with the hype. I saw the previews for this and thought it looked delightful, so I figured, "why not?"

I was very disappointed with the actual product.

All of the actors are WAY too over the top; the pace of the dialogue was obviously intended to be snappy and witty, but it just seems rushed and forced; all of the characters are horribly stereotypical, but not in a cutesy fun way: it's almost insulting. The most grating thing about this? The horrific rhythmic clapping they play for scene transitions.

I'll stick around for two more episodes (shows very often change after the pilot). Hopefully they'll fix the issues, but I doubt it.

Excellent! a Mix of Will & Grace/ Friends/Modern Family :) Intellectually funny.

I cant believe they're planning to cancel this show. Its just so funny. Don't let yourself get put off by the first episode which might seem a little confusing, because it just keeps on getting better :) A TV series about friendship, relationships and love and how it can all work together perfectly or hilariously.

Im surprised by the choice of actors because i am a fan of Ugly Betty (Michael Urie), One Tree Hill (Sophie Bush) and 10 Things i hate about you (David Krumholtz) and i just love how they work so well together.

Still hoping they decide to renew the show.
