Man Seeking Woman

It was horrible....I deleted the first ep before it was even half done....

 

I almost gave up early, but the Hitler stuff was funny. Haven't watched second ep yet.

 

I love this show. It's a bit uneven (the first episode took a while to get rolling, and the second petered out after the text was sent), but often it has me laughing out loud...which is unusual for me.

Gave it a try, but couldn't wait to delete the SP once I watched it.

Clearly not everyone's cup o' tea.

 

Clearly....I just set up recordings for the first two eps (no SP) to see if I'd like it, but deleted the second from my TDL after deleting the first ep about 10 mins in...

 

Did you get to the blind date? Because if you didn't, then you have no idea what kind of show you're not watching...

 

Gorbachenka was hot!
I love this show. I did think wtf am I watching? when things first got weird, then it got funny.

 

Thought some of the first episode was amusing.

Really enjoyed the second episode. The "The Center for Important Matters" counsel trying to decide the best wording for the text message was terrific, right down to the klaxon alarm and everybody panicking when he misspelled a word.

 

I didn't like it enough to watch after the first episode, even though the second half was an improvement over the first. It just wasn't enough.

 

Yes, clearly!

I loved the first episode at least. When it first started I thought I wasn't going to be able to relate to it since I guess I'm a bit (or perhaps a lot) older than their target demographic.

But, yeah seems off beat and quirky. That is my cup of tea.

 

I think that image should have been spoilerized.

 

There won't be any meh's with this one. You'll either love it (I do) or hate it. No in-between.

Usually I can describe a new show to a friend by saying "it's X meets Y" or "it's a lot like Z". I can't think of a way to describe this one. That's a good thing in my book.

 

I have heard all this stuff about how critics love this show. I watched the first episode and was not impressed. I guess I'll give it 1-2 more episodes.

 

I've tried the show, too. My reactions so far are varied: bored, confused, annoyed, with a moment or two of mild amusement.

To this point, I'd say the show ain't for me. I will give it one more ep to try to reel me in. If my reactions remain the same, I'm done.

As an aside, there's a reason so-called formula shows survive: the formula works. While I can laud that some try to find a new formula, or at least try to avoid too many clichés, I usually find those attempts more tiresome than entertaining.

 

Actually, it was the blind date that prompted me to delete everything

Maybe I'll give it another chance...but I just couldn't get through the first ep...

 

If you didn't like the blind date, then this is definitely not the show for you! Because it only gets stranger from there...

 

I find myself currently at meh.
I really like Jay Baruchel, so when I saw the promo, I fired up the SP.

After two episodes, meh. And I like weird. I'm giving it a third episode to push me off the fence.
