Man Seeking Woman

**PERTAINING TO THE BAD REVIEWS OF THIS TITLE ON IMDb**

Although the sample size might not be big enough, it seems like the bad reviews of this program on IMDb are exclusively written from non-American accounts. Maybe the writing of this show is just not destined to do well in foreign lands.

**MAIN OPINION**

While the show is way over the top, I think if you just relax and don't take it seriously, that's what makes it hilarious. Constantly the show might fool you into thinking Josh is in some sort of dream or day-dream when this is the shows reality; from a blind date with an actual troll to sitting with America's council of defense contemplating what the contents of his text should be to a girl he met on the train, this show is goofy is heck darn it.

**THE PILOT**

So often pilots are so crammed with exposition of the characters and the main driving force of the show or plot that good writing can be hard to find in a comedy. This is a good example of what a pilot can be. I was able to learn the role of each character without them being force fed to me. And I got to chuckle throughout the episode. Comparing the first episode to the rest of the season, it's very consistent, meaning you should probably be able to tell if the show is or isn't for you just by watching the pilot.

If you were able to watch Monty Python Flying Circus, you'll be able to enjoy this one to. A lot of absurdity, but in a good way. But it takes some adjusting to it.. You might get offended here and there.. wandering if they didn't took it too far. This is why, it's better to watch in a company. Also, watching it alone might make you miss a thing or two while laughing or simply because too much is going on.

For my personal taste: It would be much, much better if less time would be given to special effects and more effort to dialog's and characters to evolve. But then it wouldn't be what it is now.

I like the not so subtle critique of modern society.. I was able to survive majority of the things shown in the series.. and it's refreshing that someone else is able to see that in an absurd, comic way.

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.

I insist that people that don't enjoy this show simply don't understand it, or are irrevocably too old to ever enjoy it properly.

The show grapples with the normal complications associated with dating in your 20s, but with gigantic exaggerated versions of every minute obstacle that one faces. A simple issue is represented by an extreme exemplification of itself in that every aspect of social awkwardness is transformed into a seemingly real horror show. It's brutally hysterical, as long as you are the right age to understand it. Maybe impossible to get into if you're older than 40.

single and just out of college? this program knows what you might be going through and turns it into totally absurd comedy satire

People tend to write exaggerated things about shows they love, so when others watch it they get frustrated by the bench mark set. this show is not friends or will and grace or seinfeld. its something new. it is very creative. it doesn't drop the ball and make you lose interest after a while. some how , really don't know how, but some how found a way not to be repetitive or boring even though it was just about dating. guess its stuff we see in other people with a huge magnifying glass thats wha the show did for me. try it. this was all i had to say but unfortunately IMDb requires more lines in order for me to submit. and here you go.
