the only problem is to define it. because it could be perceived as provocative, bizarre, pure gay story. in fact, it is a lovely comedy. maybe an old fashion one. because the use of irony, bitter humor, perfect actors for roles who are reflections of entire universe of relations, family problems, expectations and problems, all around a child, all around a new perspective about family. so, a cute series. and the opportunity to discover new performances from Ellen Barkin. or Justin Bartha.
This was one of my favorite shows. I'm watching it again and it still very enjoyable.
I really want to love this show, the first episode lacked so much though. I'm a huge fan of Andrew due to Book of Mormon so I continuing to watch the show. Each episode is getting better with wittier,edgier writing. Hopefully the writers can step it up a notch and add some depth to each of the characters with some back story and a little more dramatic situations. The relationship between the two main male characters is starting to get less stereotypical but its still there. So far, my favorite scene was the incident with the ignorant father in the store; that displayed daring writing that few public shows dare to go to, especially so early on in their first season. This show has the potential to be great, it just needs support and better writing.
I have had a blast watching the first three episodes. I love every single character and they all crack me up!
I think the main couple are adorable. They're crazy and cute and I want to know more about them, which keeps me coming back for more.
Some people will be angry because they are two men who want a kid (I think they'd make good parents - they're kind, able to support a kid, and love each other), some people will be angry because they are similar to some stereotype or another (I think they're just who they are - and who they are is a lot of fun!), and some people will be angry for god knows what.
Bottom line: this is a fantastic, funny show about a lot of kind people and a lot of crazy people who are just trying to thrive in their own lives. The show is very sweet but tempered with reality.
My rating: 10/10. I'm so coming back for more.

I just start watching this show in this year (2017). I didn't finished the series (Im in the 19 chapter). This series show us how the life can change our goals and perspective in some things. Also you can feel the love of their treats and how the characters try to understand each other while they're experiencing some fears and doubts about life, their dreams, and parenthood.
At the end of each cap. the characters tell us what they learn, and how to resolve the "problem" or situations.
The comedy is good, sometimes it could be simple-minded but its really surprising how the writers can makes you laughs so hard or astonished you with drama, with history knowledge, tiny sad moments.
The most of characters learn and grown at the pass of the time, so it turn more interesting this series. The style of the series its comfortable and LGBT friendly.
It is far from being just another trivial comedy with strange jokes, instead is a funny and exciting series about parenthood, family and life.
