Watchseries; I don't know if it's the actors, the script or the director, but the dialogues in this series are really awful. The whole thing sounds like they're doing a read-through of the script. They missed the mark somewhere, and it left me cringing most of the time.

Uncoupled watchseries. ...but why do all the characters speak like that? Who decided this should be the verbal tone of the series? With the exception of Tisha Campbell and Marcia Gay-Hatden, the other actors come across as amateur and stiff. NPH is unlikebale and mediocre at best. The script feels forced. The attempts at humor fall flat almost 95% of the time. This is absolute garbage. Honestly, representation matters but if this is the best the so-called "brightest and most creative" can cobble together, I can do without series such as this.
It's filled with stereotypes and clichés, it's most likely going to be more suited to straights than gay men, and the last thing we need is another Sex and the City. As a gay man, I found it hard to relate to any of the characters. I think that's partly because I despised Sex in the City when it ran as a series and I never liked the way that hetero show portrayed gay men. ..as stereotypes. In short, I could get beyond two episodes.
I'm only halfway through but this is actually a chore to watch. But I've started, so I'll finish...... You can tell that Neil Patrick Harris started - or at least became famous - in a sit com. He is acing in this like he is expecting canned laughter after every sentence. It's painful. All the gay characters are cliches. The only saving grace is Marcia Gay Harden. Her character is also a cliche but her acting lifts it to something more believable.
We all know that Neil Patrick Harris is a brilliant comic actor, song and dance man, and the best awards show host ever. Here we see what a great dramatic actor he is as well - with the humor coming from a deeply human place.
The strong ensemble cast (including the always perfect Marcia Gay Harden) play characters that are all multi-dimensional and real. Gay or straight, there is not a note of cliche or caricature among them - which in itself is a cause for celebration.
Yes, there are plenty of laughs. Yes, New York looks glossy and lovely. But everything is in the service of a story about real people dealing with real conflicts and the emotional complexity that goes along with them.
Bravo!
I tried, i really did. But Im a post-middle-aged gay man in NYC and I found this to be unwatchable after 20 minutes of cliches, stereotypes and unrealistic scenes at every turn. The script is atrocious. The gay male characters are all right out of 'gay caricatures 101' . The females are shrill and devoid of actual personality. Poor NPH tries but what he has to work with is embarrassing. I can only hope that people outside of NYC dont think this is actually what gay life in NYC looks like any more than Friends and SATC portrayed actual straight life. Skip it.
