Bent

It is unacceptable to stop this show so unexpectedly while we as viewers are waiting with are breaths taken away the continuance of the story.You shouldn't take away the art spirit and the statements that this maker was trying to give to his audience, because of some bad reviews and RATINGS!!!!!!.You are committed till the end and you should be ashamed of the lack of responsibility and your materialistic perspective!!!!!!! As a Greek Citizen I am obligated to tell you that because of this refusal of real art we are today a nation with financial problems, because we lost our identity and now only Turkish shows are airing. You are also on the verge of losing the cultural identity. Be careful danger danger danger!!!!!!

Now that we're stuck in the house due to the pandemic, I've been watching tv. I just learned about this show and thought it was new. I've been checking back for a new episode and just learned this show is from 2012! I'm bummed. I really like the show. Some of the acting could be better but, overall, the show is good. Wish there were more episodes. I was looking forward to seeing where the relationship would go. Oh well.

This show is definitely looking very promising with actors like Amanda Peet(whom i totally loved in "A lot like love" & "Somethings gotta give"), Jeffrey Tambor(Arrested development), David Walton and Jesse Plemons(a big fan of "Friday night lights"). I loved the Pilot and the episode that followed and hope that it keeps getting better. The script is well written and the actors are up to the job. There are few lovely kind of romantic and comic moments which makes this show special. Can only wish for this show to be widely appreciated and watched cuz it deserves it. Would love to see more than 6 episodes which is not enough to develop the storyline.

UPDATE 4/7/12: So, all 6 episodes of Bent that currently exist have aired. If "Tile Date" doesn't convince NBC that this show deserves to live, they really do have no idea what they're doing. A-

OLDER:

We're only 4 episodes into Bent, with only 2 left to air. It's likely that this show will be canceled after these 6 episodes air, given the lack of promotion and terrible ratings. Which is unfortunate, because this show is actually more than decent, particularly the third episode "HD". It's clear this show knows what it's doing, and there isn't a weak link in the cast.

You probably won't laugh out loud much watching "Bent". But unlike the similarly low-guffaw "Up All Night", this show actually has good writing, and charming, nuanced acting all around, neither of which feel desperate for laughs in the slightest. It's this low-key charm that makes the show much more entertaining than expected. B+

I really do love this show! I was so disappointed when I went to see the latest episodes this week, and there were none. The chemistry of everyone in the cast is absolutely amazing.

For NBC to not be promoting this more is a travesty. I'm ashamed to live in a world where Jersey Shore and Chelsea is picked up, and this one may not make it.

Bent is fun, funny, and heart-warming at the same time. The characters are all well-developed, likable, and relatable, too. I haven't been able to hardly wait for the next episode each week, and I'm going to be so upset if we do not get to see where they take this!

I've posted on Facebook & Twitter, and others have responded how much they love the show, too.

Please watch the show and share it with others.
