Mixology

If you like satire and understand the dating scene when going out, I think you'll enjoy this show. It isn't a realistic depiction if what happens but shows you the funny side of things when meeting new people or running into ex's.

A lot of reviews say it is dumb, bad, and without content. The entertainment that comes from this is subtle, reading in between the lines, and understanding everything behind it.

I can agree with them on one thing, it is a simplistic view of night life. I love it as it basically makes fun of it. So if you go out at night and have a good amount of experience mingling with the opposite sex, I think you'll find those show a funny way of passing the time.

Everything that the negative reviews of this show report is valid. It begins at an incredible level of vulgarity and I came yea close to moving on in the first five minutes. I'd only hope that no adolescent male ever takes this as having any relation to the actual reality of courting women, let alone succeeding at it.

But I did stay with it, for no other reason than that the concept was really inventive, and some of the jokes were pretty good. As the show develops, much of the moronic vulgarity morphs into lively and credible characterizations, a lot more common sense than anyone could expect from the horrid beginning, and - as hard as this may be to believe - there is a considerable amount of wisdom in the discussion of relationships, and men and women. The jokes are very, very good, and the actors are uniformly excellent. So first impressions tend to be not very accurate. I think the notion of the creators' was to show this male chauvinistic fog gradually lifting, but they badly miscalculated. I don't really blame any viewer that gave up after the first ten minutes.

But the bottom line is that I found the show inventive, funny, actually rather sensible, and worth the time. Eight stars just to lift it above the magic 7.0.

Every person who says this show is terrible just doesn't get it. It's not supposed to be some high brow nonsense, its fun, and cheesy and kinda cliché and tongue in cheek and THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT AWESOME. It is an interesting concept and is fun to watch the night pan out and learn more about these characters, however ridiculous they are. I do believe this is a show that is best watched in one/two/three sittings as opposed to once a week. Its on netflix so get on it. Just watch it and give it a chance; if you don't like it then you are a dowdy unpleasant person with no sense of fun. Or you just don't like it and that's cool too. Either way, I think it is excellent.

Just awful. You would have to have absolutely no taste at all to like this. I believe the positive reviews are by studio plants. A bunch of caricatures and unfunny, sarcastic , "banter".

The commercials marketing the show also are terrible as well. Who approved those? They are annoying.

Its really kind of insulting, especially placing this after Modern Family, which is an absolutely brilliant show. Mixology is the worst show on scripted prime time that I can remember. Yes worse than the worst of those CW shows. It reminds me of one of those fake commercials for fake shows you sometimes see on SNL.

I found the writing to be shockingly dreadful, offensive and virulently anti-female. Television critic Tim Goodman nailed this show when he wrote "The level of tone deafness in the writing of Mixology is astounding." And continues on to call it "a misogynistic piece of frat-boy awfulness".

The way these men think about and speak about women is nothing short of appalling. The women aren't much better as their near total lack of self-worth is contained in every word and every too short skirt. The whole thing calls out for a cultural intervention / revolution.

We should be so lucky as for Mixology's inevitable cancellation to serve notice on Hollywood executives that this kind of writing has got to go. Enough. No more.
