Uncoupled

If you want something without clichés and stereotypes watch Eastsiders BUT if you want a funny not excessively over done storyline with good pacing and relevant jokes (but also historical gay refrences) definetly watch this! Not everything has to be completely accurate of how gay men live nowadays even though it's not even doing a horrible job at that - but watching someone doom scroll and figure out how to pay bills doesn't really make for a compelling show y'all realize that, right? I'm glad we got over the sad depressing storylines of how bad and never with a happy ending the gay life is - this is a nice change of pace.

The characters have their own side storylines and compliment the main storyline well and it's a comfy but compelling show overall!

Can't wait for season two!

I really wish they would emphasize the part of self sufficiency and individuality more and how to get there instead of just criticizing the dependency of most monogamous relationships.

The part with the guru and spiritual awakening was a nice storyline but executed poorly because the viewer didn't actually take any benefit from it because the new acquired knowledge wasn't communicated- there was just a bunch of snapping. If it was too aspirational leave it out! But I liked how all the storylines left off in the end! Give it a chance it's fun!

I thought it was cute & funny. It's just a show though! No way I expected this is an actual representation of gay men in NY. No different than sex and the city, GOT, stranger things, dead to me, better call Saul or ANY other popular tv show...I recognize it's just tv. If you're expecting this to be real life or if you are turned off by same sex relationships, just don't watch it. If you are looking for a mindless show to give you a good chuckle, give it a try.

Very relatable to any person (any sexual orientation) who had been in a relationship for decades and finds themselves starting over. The grief of losing that person, the self doubt, all the insecurities coupled with great, supportive friends. That said the cast was great! Looking forward to Netflix renewal for season 2, want to see what's next for ALL of the characters.

As another middle-aged gay man writing a review of this, I'm on the boat of this show is just not very good. I so wanted to love it. I watched the whole season and I'm happy that this is not my social circle in any way, shape or form. It's all super shallow characters putting on the facade of caring and emotion. It's just one stereotype after another parading through scenes. It's surreptitiously judgmental and cruel in the guise of sarcasm and cutesy snark. A cast of great actors are utterly let down and left in a wasteland of a vapid script and storyline. And I didn't mention the female characters because they're such an afterthought and underwritten in this show that it's a disservice to the great Tisha Campbell and Marcia Gay Harden to even bring it up. Why bother when the writers didn't?

Little wit; found it quite dull, to be honest. Good performances all around (especially from NPH), but do we need another show about uppity, wealthy, wine-drinking New Yorkers?
