Out of Order

Sexy, cleaver, honest, funny. Great writing, great direction, great acting. I especially thought the alcoholic storyline was realistic. I was married to an alcoholic. I found the dialog and situations in "Out of Order" brutally honest. I love Eric Stolz and Kim Dickens. Give it a try. I loved it. I must admit, however, that my husband was not as taken as I was. But then, I have better taste, so...

I'II admit that the only reason I was planning to watch this show was because of Justine Bateman. But within the first 10 minutes of watching the show I really started to enjoy it. It was funny, sexy, and dramatic. I found myself, today, the day after, thinking about the show and wanting more. And I don't even like this kind of genre.

With first season thru, I'm able to say this is one outstanding TV show. I hope there will be a second season, but the first season alone is, as a "mini series" amazingly good. Everyday relationship issues handled with extreme care; black humour mixed with ice cold tragedy without ever being pretentious or melodramatic. Excellent shot and with metafilm views to an amount never seen in american television (at least not by me).

OK, i'm biased; I adore both Eric Stoltz and William H Macy, but even if Stoltz is more of an main actor than ever before and extremely important for this show, the show in itself would be substantial without him.

This show (and its forecasted success-to-be) will probably lead to production companies that take more chances; don't under-estimate their audience, and aim on quality and meaning. Hugh amount of creds to everyone behind this project!

I've been an Eric Stoltz fan dating back to Fast Times and The Wild Life, so it's very gratifying to see him in this extremely adult show playing such an extremely adult part. Out of Order is going to be hugely popular, I predict - it's brilliantly written, intelligent, funny, wildly creative, extraordinarily insightful and it's got balls. I was hooked 3 minutes into the opening episode, maybe earlier.

All the characters are well-developed, no caricatures here, and the relationships felt real to me, particularly the one between Mark and Danni, and Stoltz' trying-to-masturbate-but-continually-being-interrupted sequence was priceless. This show exists on the fine line of being able to be funny although not at the expense of its characters but rather BECAUSE of its characters, who are allowed to show their inner lives - Stoltz' Mark in particular, and it feels right, of course, because he's a writer, and we do have highly developed inner lives if nothing else. To the real-life writing team who brought this show to fruition, I say keep up the great work. We'll be watching.

I was hooked after seeing the pilot. I was fortunate enough to see the rest of the episodes one after the other with Video On Demand (digital Cable). I found myself relating to situations even though I was never in that position before. I thought it was season 1 of a new show at first, and it's too bad that it was a miniseries. I'm sure there are many or will be many shows that describe this period of life that people have; Having children, working, dream house and around all that showing the difficulties or problems that arise. However, this miniseries was done so well, it wasn't afraid to show what really can or could happen as two people try to make it through life together.
