Jovem Solteiro à Procura

Man seeking woman is definitely a surprise. For those of us who rejoice with absurd humour we are in for a treat. The story does not seem to follow a real story and might not make you burst out in laughter, but it will make you, for sure, comment to your friends and family about it. Some of the ideas are so damn ludicrous you eventually get hooked to it. Besides, some of the ideas you will see in here will have previously crossed your mind in several occasions, it's funny because you will see them in an actual show and think: "hey, i once thought of that! I am not such a weirdo after all!". Well... thats cute. Yes you are. So am i. And so is this show.So now let's enjoy it.

Everyone has been dumped, or dumped someone. We all know the exaggerated feelings that come along with this, feelings of helplessness, anger etc. This show is the most clever manifestation of those feelings I've ever seen on television. Blind dating like dating a troll, getting a girls number making you feel like a genius, deleting an ex's number like an exorcism? This show is one of the most clever things on television. People are taking it too literally, like what is happening is really happening rather than an interpretation of what we've all felt. Watch it that way, and you won't be disappointed. I surely hope this show succeeds and with an open mind one will find that they've felt this way too and the wit behind the show is phenomenal.

This show is absolutely one of the stupidest things I have ever seen yet it is incredibly funny and insightful. It's not just a brain dead spoof show. The creators have put a lot of thought into the concept and execution. The cast included.

It may seem a little extreme but who hasn't faced some of these emotions and felt that their world was going to end. People naturally have a tendency to overreact. All they have done is turned it into a literal representation. Each episode I find myself relating to his angst and uncertainty. It's ridiculous but comically realistic.

And don't be confused into thinking it's a laugh riot as the humour is more intelligent than that. It won't be for everyone but everyone should be able to relate.

First off, stop reading about this show, just watch it, go in knowing nothing. I had never seen anything besides a couple random 15 second ads for the show that didn't make sense at the time, but now it all clicks. I have never laughed so hard at a premier of a show in my life and I was watching it by myself and sober (though I do think that might be the ideal way to watch this show as it somehow adds to it all).

If you're a male in your 20s you will have no problem relating to this show, though everyone will find something to relate to just the further away you are from that benchmark the less you might relate. I'll admit I fall into that bucket and the show just hits everything on the head.

I'll be very interested to see how this show progresses because it is so extremely novel one does fear it might run out things to cover. I've yet to see signs of that, but I'm only 4 episodes in. So we'll see, I remain hopeful, go watch it!

As soon as you watch the first few minutes of this show, you know you are watching something different. At first, I thought this was a modern day Walter Mitty, but it is more than that. The action does not take place in the head of the main character, Josh. The absurd happenings actually take place--in reality.

It does not take long to fall into the imaginative world of "Man Seeking Woman". Now, after four episodes, I am happily ensconced in Josh's (Jay Baruchel) wacky world.

Initially, the action revolves around Josh's attempts to find success on the social scene after breaking up with his girlfriend. He is totally inept, but he keeps trying. His best friend Mike (Eric Andre) is little help because he is a playa and a user (of women).

The story lines feel like an extended SNL skit--a good skit. I recommend the show, but be warned that it is edgy and definitely not PC.

Update 2/13/15: After the "cupid" episode guest starring Minka Kelly, I am upgrading my vote to an 8. The humor is consistent and, well, badass.

Update 3/14/16: I am increasing my grade to 9, because this show is consistently funny episode to episode like only the best comedy shows of all time. A wonderful blend of creativity and imagination.
