Husbands

Jane Espenson and Brad Bell have created and written Husbands, the freshest sitcom out there today. This is cutting edge, current, and not only packed with laughs but the most tender moments I've seen in a long time. Brad Bell is not only the creator and writer but the star of the show as the character, Cheeks. What an incredible talent he is. Keep your eye on Brad - he's going to be a superstar.

The other two main characters are Sean Hemeon as Brady and Alessandra Torresani as Haley. The creators could not have picked two better actors for these parts. Brady is so good as Cheeks' new husband. He's handsome, has great comedic timing and plays perfectly against Cheeks' shenanigans. Haley inserts her foot between Brady and Cheeks and tries to hold on to her relationship with her best friend, Cheeks, while he is attempting to nourish this new, delicate relationship. Haley is a natural comedian and hilarity ensues.

Season 2 is about to begin. I recommend that anyone who hasn't seen Season 1 yet to catch up before August 15th.

I thoroughly enjoyed Husbands Season 1! The premise is smart and fresh, the characters likable and well-written, and the acting is great. I laughed--a lot--but I especially enjoyed the fact that there were moments that were sincerely touching, too. The fact is this: although it may appear to be "about" gay marriage, Husbands is really about the universal problems or situations people "in love" or in a marriage find themselves in. I'm not gay, nor am I currently married, but the series made me laugh (and cry) because it's simply about human emotions/foibles that anyone can relate to. I'm just sorry it's not a network series--oh, wait, I barely turn on my television anymore--so never mind! ;) REALLY looking forward to Season 2!

I love this show.

It's funny, it's sweet and it's romantic.

It really is the first Gay themed show to really capture my imagination, and feel like it represents, and was made for, me.

Queer As Folk was unapologetic about demonstrating rampant sexuality. Husbands is unapologetic about showing how men can build a deeply loving relationship. However, it also never steps away from showing the physical signs of two men in love; unlike say Will & Grace where Gay loving was portrayed with a hug, or a manly pat on the shoulder.

From the first episode to the last, of the first season, the quality never wavers. Bring on Season 2.

"Husbands" is uniquely entertaining. I expected to enjoy the show given that it is a co-creation by Jane Espenson, who is a true goddess of the written word. I expected to like it all the more because it springs from the quick-witted mind of Cheeks (Brad Bell, co-writer & star), who has created a number of comedic video gems on his YouTube Channel: GoCheeksGo. I was happy to see Alessandra Torresani was going to be able to showcase the natural humor she possesses in a way that we have yet to see on film.

But for all these expectations, the show is SO MUCH MORE than I could have hoped it would be... It is amazing. From first to last, scene upon scene - I was happy with what I saw, and eager to see more.

So what is my review? The show is smart, hilarious and so damn FUN to watch. I'm more than a little bit addicted. Make no mistake, this show is one to watch, folks!

Watch, recommend and share it with all your friends and family. The fans, Team Husbands, are a determined and vocal group - ever expanding in our love for the show, the characters and the creators of "Husbands" the Series.

Anyone who hasn't watched all 11 episodes of Husbands Season 1 needs to rush and watch immediately! You will fall in love with all the characters and be waiting with huge anticipation for Season 2. Brad Bell (Cheeks), Sean Hemeon (Brady), and Alessandra Torresani (Haley) mesh perfectly together. Haley is trying hard to stay best friends with Cheeks while causing a few problems for the newlyweds.

Season 2 starts in only 9 days and the three main characters are sure to be hilarious, yet sweet and loving at the same time. This new season will be sprinkled with a lot of guest stars with names everybody will recognize. August 15th will be here soon. Don't miss out on this excellent series!
