Desparejado

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?

Let me start by saying that a gay rom-com shouldn't and can't be "all things to all people" who try to identify with it, any more than "The Dick Van Dyke Show" represents every straight American couple who happens to write for a hit TV show and lives in New Rochelle. I tire of people who say "well, this isn't me." It's not supposed to be you, nor could it reflect every viewer watching it. I enjoyed the peek into the life of NYC real estate agents as much as I did seeing the main characters struggle with their identities. At first, it sported too many cliches, but the cast was likable and the story kept moving forward. I stayed with it, and the final two episodes really paid off. I found myself laughing and crying, which was unexpected. Try not to pin a heavy agenda on this (or any TV show), and just enjoy a mainstream gay rom-com that might not tick off all the boxes, but still provides plenty of entertainment in the comedy-drama dept.

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.

Best thing about this series: the stunning aerials of new York City.

Worst: most of the rest.

Seems so unrealistic and listening to Michael whine for eight episodes was a bit much, despite his probably having good cause. And although I like Harris, it was hard to believe all those young hot men would instantly fall into his arms (and bed.)

Most endearing character was Suzanne; least was Claire. Character who should have had a bigger part: Jack. Smaller part: Claire.

Was too hard to relate to this sub-section of society (rich people not doing much to make the world a better place.)

It's fun enough and while many are saying Marcia Gay Harden is their favourite part, it's Tisha Campbell for me! Went through the episodes quickly, finding it a nice balance of comedy with heart.
