Mid-Century Modern

EP1 was a little overloaded with off color jokes IMHO, but by EP2 it settled into standard sitcom comfort food. I love seeing Linda Lavin having fun in her role. The other actors are great, and everyone is likable. I'm glad I gave it more time. This show gives me a little bit of a meta vibe like "Hot In Cleveland", in that you are kind of expected to know who the actors are and be in on the fun. I've seen some reviewers having negative thoughts about Matt Bomer's involvement, but coming from someone who had no idea who he was I think his character is really endearing and fun. This is after all supposed to be fun. I like this show and I hope it gets a second season.

I really love this show! It brought me right back to being with my nana watching The Golden Girls! We need more sitcoms like this, something that is fun and easy to watch. I don't understand the bad reviews at all. How can you not like something so special? I spent the majority of my day prepping my families favorite dinner and watching Mid Century Modern made the day fly by. I LOVE the cast and can never pass up a Ryan Murphy production. Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham should be so so proud. This show made me laugh and cry (RIP Linda Lavin) and just made me happy. We need more happy, bring on season 2!

A pitiful waste of multiple talents.

It is painful to watch Bomer play a character dumber than dirt after watching him play the intelligent and witty Neal Caffrey.

It also resorts to the old stereotype of a gay man and his shrewish mother

The jokes are older than Moses, while the punch lines can be seen from a mile away.

I was hoping this would have dry, witty, sarcastic humor like a gay male version of The Golden Girls.

It is made worse by the fact that two of the leading men are actually gay and have personally destroyed most of the traditional and incorrect ideas about gay men.

If this show gets a second season, I hope it improves by leaps and bounds.

It's been a long time since we had a gay sitcom with a laugh track. Please renew it for season 2.

Binged through the whole season in one afternoon / easily addictive.

Yes it's a sitcom don't be a snob, it's OK to like a laugh track comedy. Some of the very best shows were from this format. Not everything has to be artsy.

Nathan Lane is at his comical best. Nathan Lee Graham and Matt Bomer are excellent. The supporting characters and guest stars funny - Richard Kind is hilarious in a couple episodes.

Easily digestible and watchable. Please Hulu give this a quick renewal. Need more episodes!!! 🙏🏻

Whenever I watch a multicam sitcom for the first time in a while, it always takes a minute to not feel like the jokes are forced and in your face but this one settles in really nicely. Push through the first episode and its storyline setup and you'll probably appreciate it.

Some jokes are cliche but many are very very funny and I enjoy that the humour isn't so clean and conservative. It can be very funny when characters drop the f-bomb and talk about real and relatable gay topics. It also features a great cast with some very recognisable sitcom actors in each episode.

I've easily and enjoyably binged the whole season in one day and would happily watch a season 2.
