Friends with Benefits

Don't write these often but I had to after reading some of its reviews. This show is orginal, funny, and interesting. The episodes are only 20 minutes long too. They're not a lot of TV series that are a 10/10 and this is not one but they definitely deserve another season and their actors and actresses act their asses off so there's that

Recently caught two episodes of this network show. The first was OK, the second dismal. Sort of a "Friends" crossed with a daytime soap opera. The only interesting aspect was some quick shots of couples having sex. And there wasn't nearly enough of those. Also, are we ever going to see two people naked and having sex? Someone always seems to be wearing some article of clothing. I suspect the audience for this would surge if the network had a little more gumption and pushed the nudity envelope. As it is, this show will be dead soon enough. It is poorly acted and not particularly well written, and the actors are generic at best, much like soap opera actors.

This show is lite but complex, very fun and interesting, with characters that you start to like from first scenes!

And by the end of show (that unfortunately comes way way too fast) you can't wait to see more of their's everyday situations and new happenings!

I get that this show for some reason didn't have enough viewership, but with second season I am absolutely sure that would improve and this show could've gone for at least 3-4 season!

Episodes are 20mins, perfect run time for any sitcom, and there were so many things and stories that deserved way more depth and conclusions!

It's been almost decade and a half since show ended so maybe some crazy season 2 story how all of them ended up and where, something like American Pie: Reunion, it just feels right to give that closure for this show and this characters!

I'am from Europe and when this show hits the internet here it's Saturday, around 4AM. At that time I'am either buzzing from Friday night out, or I'am down because I spent entire evening at home. In any case I eagerly await to see new episodes after which I go to sleep with happy thoughts. When I review movies there is whole bunch of things I look at, but when I rate a comedy show there is only one valid criteria - does it make me laugh. And Friends with Benefits definitely put a smile on my face every single time. Comedy itself is a very subjective matter, so I do understand people who aren't so enthusiastic as I am, but still I feel that the reviews here are just too harsh. For the people who are reading these comments and are considering whether to start watching this show; just go ahead, if you do like it you just might get one extra thing to look forward every week. It's worth a shot. Cheers

I started to watch this show mostly because of Danneel (Harris-)Ackles. I saw the trailer on youtube and I kinda liked it, I thought "why not? it seems fun"; so I started it.

The first episode wasn't that bad, however in my opinion it wasn't better than 6/10. The next three episodes were satisfactory, but the more episodes I watched the worse it became.

Around episode 4 or 5, the show wasn't funny anymore. It was idiotic, non- realistic (which is, as regards, not necessarily important 'cause it's a TV show), annoying with non-lovable characters and stupid decisions, not to mention the dialogs.

In summary, it wasn't worth my time. I didn't even watch it to the end.
