Benders

If i had to give a 1 word description of this show, it would be forgettable. Nothing about this show is intriguing or enjoyable. At first i was excited because i thought it would be a show ABOUT hockey...not a show that shows a few seconds of terrible skaters holding hockey sticks then switches to them getting tossed at a lame bar slinging cheap one liners and mind numbing banter. Actually, a lot of that could be forgiven if the characters were fun to watch but they're just not. I gave it a strong go, i really tried to like what i was seeing but in the end it just became so boring that i gave up. And i just have to say, Karen (Pauls girl) is a terrible human being, just a sh** character all around.

In comparison to the other comedy TV series on air right now, this does not appear as strong competition. Occasionally some comedic-value will pop-up. Sadly, this doesn't appear to be happening too often.

The pilot episode wasn't really strong, the casting seems fine, they have a lot of potential. Problem is, they seem to be lacking on the material side, some polishing should be done there, at least in my opinion.

This isn't a bad show, get's better as you watch it, and definitely helps to pass time. Problem is, it isn't too memorable and I don't feel a strong push to watch another episode. I'm probably going to give it a few more episodes, hopefully it will get better.

It delivers new comedy material that is expected from a show by Dennis Leary. With a new and not well known cast, their timing and expressions are really enjoyable to watch. Especially in realistic settings it's delightful. Sadly I gotta rewatch the one season they have, would watch more if I could

Not funny whatsoever. Playing 20 years of hockey nothing is accurate, the player stereotypes and the chirps are not even close to the real stuff. They basically gave a team of sub par writers that watch football and basketball $5,000 to write a show that should be canceled after the first season.NO HOCKEY FAN/PLAYER WILL SAY "NO REGRETZKIES." The show is just not good or will ever be good. If you're trying to get angry at a show watch this. There are a lot of quality fall shows on the major networks, and IFC makes a bunch of other great show, watch them, nothing like this show. If there are any positive reviews it is because they live underground and have never spoken to a single person and this the first show they will ever watch. You're better off watching anything else.

I don't think it's terrible but it needs work. I've been playing hockey for just about 23 years now and the last 15 have been in men's league/beer leagues. I ran my own team for 8 years and became close friends with aloft of people I play with. There is so much more that this show can add. I think that it needs different writers. Writers that know what men's league hockey is all about. I feel like this show is trying to compete with the show "the league" but it's trying to be too much like it. It needs to go in its own direction to draw viewers in....I have told my friends that I wanted to create a show on men's league hockey for years and I seriously think you need to get new writers...just my opinion
