A to Z

Amid a TV landscape over-saturated with romcoms this fall season, A to Z sticks out.

While the narration can be a little cloying (likely taking cues from "How I Met Your Mother"), the story's pretty endearing and the gimmick works as far as getting the viewer invested in what each letter will stand for. Christine Melonti, who coincidentally was Ted's dream girl on HIMYM, plays buttoned-up lawyer Zelda who enters into a pensive relationship with another company employee Andrew. Neither of the two leads are particularly magnetic but their chemistry is pretty good and their relationship is very visceral.

Because they met at the workplace, the show is an intra-workplace romance which helps the pacing as it breaks up the relationship dramedy with a workplace comedy that, at times, can be as sharp as "Better off Ted." It's also through the workplace element that the show gets bolstered by a rock-solid stable of supporting characters (the IT work spouses played by Parvesh China and Hong Chou are particularly amusing) The supporting cast is also augmented by the two leads' best friends, Stephanie and Stu, who had a regrettable one night stand (technically, it was 15 minutes), that serves as a perfect allegory to the regrettable consequences of one-night stands.

For those who find the great TV romcoms of the early 2000s and 1990's outdated, A to Z is smart enough to be relevant to our current era of app-based digital-history-fearing dating without hammering it over your head.

For someone who's not generally into romcoms, this show does a lot for me

This actually wasn't a bad show.

It's cute, adorable, fluffy, entertaining and a very lighthearted show to watch.

But…

… It's nothing new.

The two leads, Ben Feldman and Cristin Milioti, were entertaining to watch but more often than not, I found my attention always drawn to Milioti.

The show also has a great supporting cast including Lenora Crichlow from UK's Being Human with Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy) narrating the series and I do like how the supporting cast gets screen time and stories away from the two leads.

It would have been something I would have continued to watch had it got a second season but I'm not heartbroken about it being cancelled.

This show felt a bit like a Hallmark movie, which is okay, but not great. Hallmark can be a bit too mushy. We're thrilled that it wasn't filled w crudeness (except for the roommate that sounded like he was 7 years old and just learned some new words - uncool since most of us watching are not 7 and didn't think it was all that funny then) which seems to be the "in" thing to do these days, so YAY for that. The show is just missing that edge that separates Hallmark from "You've Got Mail". Hopefully the main characters become a little bit more real life while still maintaining the decent person qualities that they've already got. And hopefully the writers will go with highroad vocab and imagery. It's kinda fun that a romcom sitcom exists, hopefully it just won't be too sweet or too sour.

It's a refreshing concept and the characters are very likable. I really enjoy their dynamic and the story. Too bad it is not renewed! Would have been interesting to watch it unfold.

This show I watched it on airline travel and got hooked .. the chemi between two is just amazing .. light.. romantic .. and just funny enough to light up all mood. I watched it many times and still love it. It annoys me deep inside The show stopped .. those who voted low must be expecting hilarious comedyshow, well this isn't .. the show is like a sweet fluffy desert after hard day working .. this is exacy how it feels everytime I watch it again.
